Abstract
The rapid advancement of mobile technologies has created new opportunities for enhancing language learning through flexible and learner-centered instructional media. In response to this development, this study aimed to design and evaluate Talaby, an Android-based digital learning module developed to support Arabic language instruction and improve students’ learning outcomes. The study was conducted at an Islamic senior secondary school (MAN 1 Kediri, Indonesia) and employed the ADDIE development model within a Research and Development (R&D) framework. A total of 26 tenth-grade students participated in the study. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and achievement tests. The validation results indicated that Talaby met the feasibility standards, with media and content validation scores of 78% and 86%, respectively. Furthermore, a paired-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes after using the module (p < 0.05), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d ? 1.30). These findings suggest that Talaby effectively facilitates active, contextual, and learner- centered Arabic language learning, highlighting the potential of Android-based digital modules as innovative instructional media in language education, particularly in secondary education contexts.
