Abstract

The limited availability of interactive and digitally-based vocabulary learning media constitutes a major problem for students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the innovation of vocabulary (mufradat) learning media through an interactive e-book called "VocaQuest" that utilizes barcode technology, focusing on its media characteristics, pedagogical aspects, and integration of digital technology. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative with content analysis using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the analysis show that "VocaQuest" offers innovation in three main dimensions: a thematic vocabulary design accompanied by transliteration and example sentences; a barcode system that enables independent access to audio-visual content; and an evaluation feature with various formats such as multiple choice, word matching, and meaning guessing. This study indicates that the "VocaQuest" e-book is an innovation in Arabic language learning media that combines a communicative approach with digital technology, making it a relevant solution for independent mufradat learning among PBA students in the digital era.
