أنشطة فعالة لتطوير مهارة الكلام لدى متعلمي العربية في برامج تعليم اللغة العربية بوصفها لغة ثانية أو أجنبيةً

Abstract EN

The study embarks with the presupposition that conversation is the point of departure in learning any language as the oral aspect is more dominant than the writing aspect in language.

Despite this fact, one who looks into the teaching of Arabic as a second language in a non-Arabic environment, will appears to him/her that it clearly sidelines speaking skill either in ignorance or in disregard of its role.

Some programs that claim that conversation skill is not part of its objectives and was dropped from their content or was not given its due weightage.

In both situation the speaking aspect comes out weak.

In the teaching of Arabic in International Islamic University Malaysia we tried in the beginning to teach our students reading, writing and taking personal notes from the words of the lecturers and it has been showing acceptable results to certain extent but continue to recieve complaints that the students are still unable to converse effectively in Arabic some of the daily needs.

This had prompted the Quranic language division to write four books for teaching four skills that eventually improve students’ language competency despite the complaint on the lenghty period of time needed by students to learn the language generally.

Consequently, the four skills were combined and delivered in a comprehensive manner.

Unfortunately, this had led to the reduction of contact hours between the students and their resepctive lecturers.

This policy however, had affected the students ability in particular coversation skill.

This had prompted the two researchers to dwell on this issue utilizing library researh method.
