ANALYSING THE TYPES OF JIHAH AUXILARY WORDS IN THE FORM FOUR ARABIC TEXTBOOKS FOR THE DINI INTEGRATED CURRICULUM

Abstract

Abstract: The Jihah Auxiliary Words are types of words that change the original meaning of Arabic verb phrases (Madhi and Mudhari) to new meanings in grammatical clauses in a sentence. This study aims to analyse the types of Jihah Auxiliary Words in the al-Lughah al-’Arabiyyah al-Mu’asirah (LAM) textbook for form four.  The study found 6 types of Jihah auxiliary words in the Dini Integrated Curriculum (KBD) form four textbook, which are الْمُتَجَدِّدُ, الـمُنتَهَى بِالـحَاضِر, الـمَقَارِبَة, القَرِيبُ, البَعِيدُ and الـمُحتَمَلُ.  The most frequent is الـمُنتَهَى بِالـحَاضِر with 61.9%, followed by الْمُتَجَدِّدُ and القَرِيبُ with 14.3%, الـمَقَارِبَة is 4.7% and lastly, البَعِيدُ and الـمُحتَمَل with 2.4%. This finding indicates that the الـمُنتَهَى بِالـحَاضِر is the frequently used Jihah auxiliary word, while البَعِيدُ and الـمُحتَمَل is the least used in this textbook of LAM form four. This study’s implication is teachers and students should be exposed to this type of Jihah auxiliary words so that they can understand the changes in the meaning of the sentence structure.
