Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Over the time, nahw (Arabic syntax) instruction has been conducted by traditional means. It used to be the al-qira’ah wa al-tarjamah method that was in use. But today, epitome emerges in the place of such a method. Epitome has been proven able to motivate students and to improve learning efficiency. This work is present to describe not only the steps to nahw instruction by epitome, but also the factors that support its success. It manifests from the author’s past research at Pondok Pesantren Salafiyah Putri Al Ishlahiyah Malang, in which epitome was implemented in the nahw instruction for the students. Data were collected through observation of the instruction activity, interview with the teachers, committee members, and students directly involved in the implementation of the epitome medium, and structured interview with some alumni regarding the benefits of nahw for the community. This work suggests three points. First, with epitome, students have an easier time understanding nahw. Second, the students’ inner motivation has a strong effect on their success in learning nahw, especially in i’rab. Third, epitome not only makes it easy for the students to learn nahw, but also provides them with opportunities to participate more actively in nahw learning, which, over this time, has been regarded a difficult and unstimulating.
