Abstract
This study investigates the application of contrastive analysis between Arabic and Sundanese pronouns in teaching Arabic to Sundanese-speaking learners. Arabic pronouns are characterized by a complex grammatical system involving gender distinction, number differentiation (singular, dual, plural), grammatical position, and pronoun attachment types, whereas Sundanese pronouns primarily reflect socio-pragmatic functions and speech-level hierarchy. Using a qualitative library-based approach and a descriptive-analytical contrastive method, the study compares the pronoun systems of both languages to identify potential learning difficulties faced by Sundanese learners of Arabic. The findings reveal five major categories of difficulty: gender agreement, dual forms, implicit pronouns, attached pronouns, and socio-pragmatic interference resulting from Sundanese speech levels. The study further proposes contrastive-analysis-based instructional strategies and practical exercises designed specifically to address these difficulties. The results demonstrate that contrastive analysis provides a systematic framework for predicting learner errors and developing more effective Arabic teaching materials for Sundanese-speaking students. This study contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by linking theoretical contrastive analysis with applicable classroom-oriented teaching practices.
