Pemanfaatan Kecerdasan Buatan (Artificial Intelligence) dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Kitabah Bahasa Arab Melalui Penulisan Berita Digital Mahasiswa KPI STAI Sabilul Muttaqin Mojokerto

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology demanded innovation in foreign language education, particularly in mastering writing skills (maharah kitabah). The main problem faced by students was the dual challenge of mastering complex Arabic grammatical structures while simultaneously adhering to the concise format required for digital journalism. This study aimed to analyze the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving Arabic kitabah skills through digital news writing among second-semester students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Study Program at STAI Sabilul Muttaqin Mojokerto. The study used a qualitative case study approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation of students' texts. The results indicated that AI effectively helped students improve vocabulary mastery, correct sentence structure, stimulate idea development, and boost confidence in writing Arabic digital news. However, the study concluded that strict lecturer supervision was still needed to maintain academic ethics, prevent plagiarism, and ensure originality.
