Enhancing Arabic Language Learning with Microlearning: A Case Study of the Arabiyatuna YouTube Channel
Abstract
This study aims to describe the Arabic language learning patterns based on microlearning on the Arabiyatuna YouTube account and to evaluate the repetition of materials on the account based on Hermann Ebbinghaus's theory. The research employs a qualitative method with descriptive analysis techniques. An in-depth study was conducted on the Arabiyatuna YouTube account, which discusses Arabic language learning, linking it to the microlearning concept and Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve. The results show that the Arabiyatuna account presents the four Arabic language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in a microlearning format. However, material repetition is still suboptimal, as it is done only one to three times with intervals that are too long between repetitions.
