Application of Fuzzy Delphi Techniques to Identify Content Elements and Implementation Methods for Teaching Arabic Speaking Skills Based on Quranic Verses

The Arabic language has uniqueness in its nuances, grammatical structure, syntax, and style that are clearer in the Qur’an. The use of verses from the Quran is often used in learning Arabic grammar. However, there is less research that focuses on the use of Quranic verses for teaching Arabic speaking skills. This study aims to apply the Fuzzy Delphi technique to identify the content elements and implementation methods for teaching Arabic speaking skills using Qur’anic verses, ultimately proposing a content model named QUL. The questionnaire was built based on the Design and Development study (DDR) by referring to Gagne’s learning theory which consists of nine learning elements and the Arabic Primary School Curriculum Standard Document (KSSR) which contains four elements that must be present in a curriculum. This questionnaire consists of 28 items that have been distributed to ten experts in the field of teaching and learning Arabic at several selected higher education institutions. The collected data is analyzed according to the data analysis process based on the Fuzzy Delphi method through Fuzzy Triangle Numbering and Fuzzy Evaluation (Fuzzy A Score). The findings of the study reveal that the key components of the QUL model for teaching Arabic speaking skills include the integration of vocabulary and grammar, the use of Qur’anic verses, value-based modules, student-centered learning, the incorporation of digital tools, and effective assessment of speaking skills. This model represents an innovative instructional approach aimed at enhancing Arabic speaking abilities through thematically organized, concise Qur’anic verses. Future research will focus on developing the QUL module content specifically for teaching Arabic speaking skills, with a particular emphasis on its application in Malaysia.
