Abstract

There are various ways of learning Arabic including the Blended Learning Substitute (PTG) which was applied at the Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia a year ago. The study therefore seeks to analyse its effectiveness in the Arabic Language for Culture And Health course among students of the Bachelor of Arabic Language with Communications. The study aims to understand the extent to which PTG affects students' achievement in the subject. The study focuses on the impact of PTG on improving the ability of these students to understand the subject. It also aims to reveal students' perceptions of using PTG in their learning. This study draws on a descriptive quantitative analysis approach, distributing a set of questionnaires containing questions regarding the effects of PTG on this substance. The study obtained the test results and analyzed them in the Social Science Statistical Analysis Programme (SPSS). Questionnaires are also distributed to students to identify solutions for this study. One of its most important results is the rapid adaptation of students to the PTG method of learning cultural and health Arabic during the second year of their studies. The impact of students on this PTG is more comprehensive as mentioned. One of its most important recommendations is to increase interest in providing more comprehensive improvements to students in the follow-up of subjects that have been applied in the current PTG method in the Arabic learning process in this university.
