Abstract
This research has two focuses: (1) Examine the use of TikTok applied in the teaching of Qira’ah Shamitah (QS) for Arabic Language Education (ALE) students at Walisongo State Islamic University Semarang; (2) Investigate students’ perceptions of the suitability of TikTok for teaching QS at the university level. This study was designed as explanatory field research with mixed methods, by quantitatively describing students’ opinions through questionnaires presented on a Likert scale and combined with interviews, accompanied by qualitative observations of QS learning activities among students. The students involved in this case study were 106 students from the 2022-batch of the ALE department. Data was collected through a questionnaire, observation, and interview. Data were analyzed qualitatively using Spradley’s model. The results indicate that the scope of skills in teaching QS encompasses understanding the content of the text, pronouncing it correctly, comprehending the meaning of the text, utilizing information from the text, recognizing and understanding written words, improving silent reading speed, analyzing content structure, and thinking critically about the text. The suitability of TikTok regarding perceptions of QS learning shows that 23.48% strongly agree, 13.44% agree, 13.04% are neutral, 26.24% disagree, and 23.8% strongly disagree. These results identify the potential involvement of TikTok in their Arabic Language Learning (ALL) at the university level, by following up on the obstacles encountered in the process of its use. The implications of TikTok on QS learning are that it fosters group collaboration and student engagement in learning Arabic texts, as well as providing videos for independent and repeated learning.
