It was not possible to go beyond the aesthetic interest to establish an integrated philosophical system, because beauty is constantly present within the general perception, which justifies the overlap of the principle of existence with the theory of knowledge with the moral perception, and there are many books and philosophies that have studied the subject of beauty. From before Plato and Aristotle in the Greek era until Croce, the existentialists, and the symbolic trend in the modern era, these books were concerned with transmitting the basic ideas and their categories in aesthetics, with some differences and features between this or that philosophy.</p> <p>The topic of beauty remains one of the topics that raises problems around which many opinions and ideas revolve, some of which agree and others differ, as it is difficult to frame it and determine its essence, as well as to be familiar with all its aspects. This is what we will try to find out through this research. </p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> beauty - aesthetics - art - philosophy - literature</p> Hanan Mohamed El Marrakchi Copyright (c) 2024 Hanan Mohamed El Marrakchi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/SIBAWAYH/article/view/8916 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Causes of Students Facing Difficulties in Speaking Arabic and Methods to Overcome It Among Arabic Students at UPSI https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/SIBAWAYH/article/view/9539 <p>This study explores the challenges faced by Arabic language students at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) in speaking Arabic and examines methods to improve speaking skills. This study is a quantitative study, using a questionnaire as the main instrument. The study involved 108 participants selected through simple random sampling. The results of the study revealed several key challenges, including shyness and fear of ridicule when speaking in Arabic, insufficient mastery of grammar, and lack of encouragement to use Arabic in an academic setting. Although the teaching materials are seen as sufficient, students express the need for more interesting teaching to increase motivation and interest in speaking skills. To address this challenge, among the methods that can be used is to create a learning environment that supports speaking skills, improve the teaching of grammar through interactive methods, encourage the use of Arabic in an academic setting, and provide additional speaking practice opportunities. This study contributes to the existing literature on the teaching of Arabic as a second language and provides insights for educators and researchers who wish to improve the teaching of Arabic.</p> Muhammad Faris Suhaimi, Abdul Salam Ahmad Sabri Copyright (c) 2023 Muhammad Faris Suhaimi, Abdul Salam Ahmad Sabri http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/SIBAWAYH/article/view/9539 Wed, 20 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Strategy to Increase Arabic Vocabulary Size among Secondary School Students in Setiu District, Terengganu https://ojs.upsi.edu.my/index.php/SIBAWAYH/article/view/9538 <h1>Learning strategies are essential for effective language learning and acquisition, helping students learn new words and strengthen their understanding and application in real-life contexts.
