Integrasi Laboratorium Alam dan Laboratorium Buatan: Inovasi Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab di Era Teknologi

Abstract

Arabic language learning in the technological era requires innovation that combines traditional methods with modern technological developments. This study examines the integration of natural and artificial laboratories as an innovation in Arabic language learning. Natural laboratories utilize real environments such as traditional markets, mosques, and native speaker communities to provide authentic learning experiences. Meanwhile, artificial laboratories use technologies such as mobile learning, virtual reality, and e-learning platforms to create flexible and personalized learning environments. With a qualitative approach through literature studies and case studies, this study found that the integration of the two types of laboratories can improve students' learning motivation, contextual understanding, and communication skills. This integrated learning model is recommended as a new paradigm that optimizes the potential of the real environment and technology to support Arabic language learning effectively and innovatively.
