Social and Cultural: It enriches students’ understanding of Arab-Islamic culture through artistic
activities, communication, and global interaction, contributing to the development of a well-balanced
academic identity and character.
Novelty
The E-Manual stands out as it was developed in an interactive digital format, incorporating infographics, visual
icons, flowcharts, and a user-friendly PDF design. It systematically documents nine core activities while
integrating elements of education, culture, arts, communication, and technology.
By merging education, technology, and culture, the E-Manual streamlines the implementation of Language
Week. It enhances student motivation, facilitates lecturers’ work, and supports the aspirations of digital
education. Moreover, the product holds strong potential for adoption and expansion to other institutions.
Future Research Recommendation
Future research should aim to strengthen the effectiveness and broader adoption of the E-Manual of Arabic
Language Activities. A pre/post-test or control group study is recommended to provide stronger evidence of
learning outcomes and better understand the manual’s impact on students’ Arabic language proficiency. To
support data-driven improvements, the digital manual should be enhanced with usage tracking features, such as
click data, time spent on tasks, and rubric scores. Usability can be improved through iterative testing, including
expert reviews and think-aloud sessions with users, with documented revisions based on feedback. For
transparency, future studies should include full measurement tools, such as rubrics and questionnaires, in an
appendix, and reflect on potential developer bias in the design and evaluation process. The literature review
can be expanded to include recent research in educational user experience (UX), learning analytics, and digital
tools for language learning. Lastly, a clear sustainability and commercialization plan should be developed,
addressing technical requirements, multilingual support, accessibility features, and steps for institutional
adoption across other campuses or language programs.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The authors would like to express their gratitude to UiTM Negeri Sembilan Branch, the lecturers, the students
of TAC401, TAC451, and TAC501, as well as the development team for their invaluable contributions in
realizing the E-Manual of Arabic Language Activities. It is hoped that this innovation will bring meaningful
benefits to the teaching and learning of languages in a digital and systematic manner.
