Type: article
Abstract: This community service program aimed to improve practical Arabic literacy among members of the Kelompok Bimbingan Ibadah Haji dan Umrah (KBIHU) to enhance their ability to understand public signage and navigate public facilities in Makkah and Madinah. The program was implemented through a one day intensive workshop designed using a systematic and practice oriented approach. The implementation methods included visual literacy instruction, digital literacy enhancement, and active learning based simulation activities. The visual literacy component focused on introducing functional Arabic vocabulary commonly found on public signs, while the digital literacy component emphasized the use of technological tools, such as translation applications and digital maps, to support participants' independence during pilgrimage. The simulation sessions provided experiential learning through contextual scenarios reflecting real situations encountered in the Holy Cities. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' understanding of Arabic public signage and their ability to navigate public environments independently. Furthermore, the program enhanced participants' confidence in responding to emergency situations and managing circumstances in which they became separated from their travel group. Participant evaluations indicated that the integration of visual literacy, digital literacy, and hands on practice effectively strengthened practical Arabic literacy competencies. Therefore, this program contributes to fostering greater independence and enabling pilgrims to perform their religious obligations in the Holy Land with increased confidence, safety, and spiritual focus.
