Abstract

Learning Arabic at the beginner level often faces difficulties in mastering phonetics, particularly in pronouncing Arabic sounds that do not exist in learners^ native languages. This study aims to develop an inclusive and engaging learning model for Arabic phonetics through the integration of Talking Book media and the Audiolingual Method. The Talking Book serves as an effective tool to provide authentic audio input that can be repeatedly accessed by learners, allowing for adaptive learning according to different learning styles and abilities. The Audiolingual Method reinforces habit formation in pronunciation through repetitive listening and imitation of accurate speech patterns.

This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The participants are beginner-level students enrolled in Basic Arabic courses. The results indicate that integrating the Talking Book with the Audiolingual Method significantly improves learners^ phonetic accuracy and confidence in pronouncing Arabic letters. Moreover, this media proves effective for inclusive learning, as it accommodates learners with varying learning speeds and promotes creative and participatory learning environments.
