Abstract
Traditional Arabic language instruction in a madrasa has relied primarily on textbooks, often leading to disengagement and limited comprehension. This study examines the effectiveness of a static website as an alternative medium for Arabic language learning. Using a quasi-experimental design, 63 grade 7 students were divided into an experimental group, which received multimedia-rich instruction on Chapter 4 (“Al Unwan”) via the website, and a control group, which continued with conventional textbook-based methods. Pre- and post-tests were administered, and data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores (M = 85.79) compared to the control group (M = 51.13), with the independent sample t-test confirming a statistically significant difference (t = 9.662, p < 0.05). These results lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis and support the effectiveness of the website-based medium in enhancing student engagement and comprehension of Arabic language concepts. The findings underscore the potential for integrating digital learning tools into traditional curricula, promoting more effective and engaging Arabic language instruction.
