A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based Learning and Conventional Learning in the Development of Arabic Writing Skills: A Systematic Literature Review
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Conventional learning, Maharah kitabah, Systematic Literature ReviewAbstract
The rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies has opened new opportunities in Arabic language teaching, particularly in the development of writing skills. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of AI-based learning with conventional learning in developing Arabic writing skills, using a Systematic Literature Review approach guided by PRISMA guidelines. Data were collected from scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026, drawn from several reputable academic databases, where the screening and selection process ultimately resulted in fifteen main articles used as primary sources for analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic synthesis alongside comparative analysis. The results showed that AI excels in developing ideas, enriching vocabulary, correcting language errors, and providing instant feedback, while conventional learning contributes more significantly to reinforcing grammatical rules and providing direct pedagogical guidance from the teacher. The study concludes that integrating AI with the teacher's role, through a "Human-in-the-Loop" approach, represents a promising and effective strategy for improving the quality of Arabic writing skill learning in the future.
