A Contextual-Based Learning Approach in Enhancing Mastery of Balaghah

Twenty-first century learning aims to produce learners who are critical thinkers and capable of solving problems in everyday life. Conventional teaching methods tend to limit students’ cognitive development as they are often confined to procedural memorisation. This study was conducted to propose meaningful learning in the teaching and learning of Balaghah through the use of a contextual learning approach. Preliminary observations indicate that conventional teaching practices have resulted in students’ low interest in Balaghah, limited understanding of its relevance to real-life contexts, and passive classroom engagement. This article discusses the importance of contextual learning as an approach that should be implemented by lecturers in the teaching of Arabic rhetoric (Balaghah). This approach is expected to stimulate students’ interest and foster enjoyment in learning. Accordingly, several aspects and examples from each element of Balaghah are presented to highlight the importance and continuity of contextual-based learning in Balaghah instruction. This is conceptual framework paper.
