Abstract
Purpose - This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a digital dictionary application in improving Arabic vocabulary comprehension among Arabic Language Education students at UINSU Medan. The main problem faced by students is the limitation in understanding and memorizing new vocabulary by using traditional learning methods, such as memorization, which has proven to be less effective in the long run.
Design/methodology/approach - This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, observations and assessment tests of even semester students, namely semesters 2, 4, 6, and 8 of North Sumatra State Islamic University Medan who use digital dictionary applications.
Findings/results – The results showed that the digital dictionary application significantly helped students in improving their understanding and mastery of Arabic vocabulary. Students reported that the app made it easier for them to find word meanings, understand synonyms, and apply vocabulary in a wider context. In addition, the interactive features offered by the app increased students' motivation to learn independently and interact more frequently with the Arabic language.
Originality/value - This finding supports previous research which shows that a more contextualized and interactive learning approach can improve vocabulary retention and application in everyday communication.
