Utilization of the Wondershare Filmora Application in Compiling Arabic Teaching Materials Based on Local Culture

Abstract

Arabic is one of the international languages that is widely studied and used in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The government determines Arabic as a foreign language that must be mastered by students who study in Islamic-based educational institutions, such as Islamic universities. There are many obstacles that occur in the field related to the Arabic learning process, including the unsuitability of the teaching materials used with the situations and conditions of students. The use of video editing applications such as Wondershare Filmora is expected to improve the ability of students in Arabic, especially combined with a local cultural approach in the process of compiling teaching materials. The preparation of Arabic teaching materials based on local culture utilizes the Wondershare Filmora application in its presentation process with the aim of increasing students' interest and ability to speak Arabic. This study uses the Research and Development method by carrying out the method proposed by Borg and Gall. With the preparation of Arabic teaching materials which contain local culture-based material and compiled using the Wondershare Filmora application, it is hoped that students will be able to use simple Arabic in daily communication or as the language of instruction in the learning process.
