Artful Learning: Enhancing Arabic Vocabulary through Digital Creative Expression with Procreate and Artificial Intelligence
Keywords:
Artful Learning, AI Feedback, Arabic Language Pedagogy, Digital Creative Expression, Procreate, Vocabulary RetentionAbstract
The integration of digital tools and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has opened new avenues for enhancing language acquisition, particularly for Arabic vocabulary, which poses unique challenges due to its complex morphology. This study explores how Artful Learning—an approach merging creativity with structured language tasks—can enhance Arabic vocabulary acquisition through the digital platform Procreate, supplemented by real-time AI feedback. Involving 30 students with artistic backgrounds, the research found that personalized visual representations of vocabulary in Procreate, combined with instant AI corrections, significantly improved student engagement and vocabulary retention. This method strengthened language skills while fostering creativity and critical thinking, making language learning a more interactive and enjoyable experience. These findings confirm the potential of combining digital art and AI as a modern pedagogical tool, offering a visually engaging method to support Arabic language mastery, especially for learners inclined toward artistic expression. This research contributes valuable insights to Arabic language pedagogy in the digital era, proposing that creative digital platforms paired with AI could become a cornerstone of effective language education..
