Description
Summary:The Arabic language is taught in primary schools as one of the additional subjects. It is hoped that this basic exposure will arouse the children's interest in learning the language and help them to be competent in using the language later on. However,research shows that students' level of competency is still very low. This is due to several reasons such as the exam oriented educational system, teaching pedagogical approaches which do not focus on language competency and lack of using the appropriate teaching aids and gadgets. Consequently, this research aims at using the interactive multimedia applications specifically focusing on the listening and speaking skills.The process is based on Hanafin & Peck (1988) model as a guideline with some modifications to its flow charts. Its finding reveals a prototype interactive multimedia application in a form of Compact Disk for year one learners.This research finding is based on application process which uses both the qualitative as well as quantitative research. A structured interview is used in the qualitative research and all data which are taken from four Arabic pedagogical experts will be analysed manually.The quantitative research uses questionnaires as its instrument. Data are collected and analysed using SPSS 21.0 from thirty respondents who are teachers of Arabic language.The reseach finding shows that the Arabic Language interactive multimedia prototype applications for year one needs to be upgraded to improve year one learners' both listening and speaking skills.
