Abstract

This research is motivated by the significant potential of Arabic loanwords in the Indonesian language, which can be utilized to facilitate the learning process for beginners. The primary objective of this study is to identify commonly used loanwords and formulate strategies for their utilization in teaching vocabulary (mufrodat) to Indonesian students at the A1 level based on the CEFR framework. The method used is descriptive-analytical through library research and document analysis, applying the Miles and Huberman model for data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The results show two main categories of loanwords: 106 equivalent words classified into six fields (ethics, worship, law, eschatology, social-administration, and thought/knowledge) and 33 false cognates. The strategy for utilizing these words is implemented through creative teaching materials such as dialogues, artificial stories, and contextual exercises relevant to the students' daily environment. In conclusion, the integration of contrastive and etymological approaches is crucial to distinguish semantic shifts and correct linguistic interference, making vocabulary learning more systematic, effective, and capable of increasing learning motivation at the early stages
