The primary use of technology in teaching and learning language in the current era has become a desired and popular method, keeping pace with the new generation. The current generation is attracted to and interacts with technological methods. We are now utilizing a new modern technology, ChatGPT. This technology utilizes the power of artificial intelligence.

The study employs a descriptive and analytical approach as well. The study describes and analyzes data obtained from primary and secondary resources like seminars, discussions, scientific articles, periodicals, etcetera. This is accomplished by surveying the opinions of specialists in the field of language teaching for specific purposes. This study has shown a great remark upon what we have discovered, the most important of which is that the ChatGPT model is a modern technology based on artificial intelligence. It can interact with users through a variety of conversations (chat), answering questions in general, both complex and ordinary. It can also analyze texts simply by obtaining a string of words or a short description of your own words. These words and expressions are transformed into texts, images, or vice versa. We have found that this application can also serve people with the function of teaching and learning the Arabic language. Especially teaching the four language skills in the literal private field.

The concept of communication politeness in Islam can be referred through the discussion contained in the Quran (al-Khatib, 2012). The Qur'an contains rhetorical verses that illustrate the beauty of communication between people in accordance with the purpose to educate noble character. The ethics of communication are found in several surahs in the Quran. First, the qaulan sadida (QS.4 an-Nisa': 9) which speak words of appropriate justice, valid, and precise. Second, qaulan ma'rufa (QS.4 an-Nisa': 8) which suggests that humans communicate with language that does not touch the soul and feelings of the audience. Third, Qawlan baligha (QS.4 al-Nisa': 63) which emphasizes that information disseminated to the community can have a profound impact on their souls. Next is the qaulan maisura (QS.17: al-Isra': 28) which warns humans that the information disseminated must be understandable according to the level of capability of the listeners. Fifth, qaulan karima (QS.17: al-Isra': 23) which explains that the language and words expressed must have good and noble values. This paper explores the beauty of rhetorical language style in communication-themed verses in the Quran and brings new models with the addition of several new elements. The methodology of the study is qualitative by analyzing Quranic verses related to the theme of communication impressions as well as tafsir and Arabic rhetorical books, journal articles and other related sources. The study finds that the ethics and practices of polite communication in the Quran contain rhetorical elements. In addition to the qaulan verses mentioned above, the aspect of tone of voice, the use of the best and appropriate language as well as the technique of repetition are very important rhetorical elements in the communication process. This can be described as a guidance of strategies and methods in the characteristics of effective communication.

Aspek emosi dan hubungannya dengan ciri-ciri komunikasi yang sejahtera merupakan perkara penting dalam interaksi manusia. Kajian berkaitan kedua-dua bidang tersebut banyak dibincangkan dalam disiplin ilmu masing-masing. Namun, fokus perbincangan makalah ini merujuk kepada hubungan emosi dengan kesopanan komunikasi khusus dalam konteks ilmu psikologi dan retorik al-Quran. Justeru, makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perspektif psikologi dan retorik al-Quran terhadap aspek emosi dan kesopanan komunikasi dalam al-Quran. Kajian kualitatif ini cuba menjelaskan beberapa ayat-ayat Al-Quran bertemakan emosi dan kesopanan komunikasi dengan fokus ulasan daripada sudut psikologi dan retorik al-Quran.

Subjek ilmu Balaghah atau Retorik merupakan satu subjek yang ditawarkan kepada pelajar yang mengikuti kursus Bahasa Arab di peringkat Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) dan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Swasta (IPTS). Walaubagaimanapun subjek Balaghah di peringkat Universiti ini tidak dapat menarik minat pelajar dan sukar melahirkan pelajar yang memahami dan menghayati keindahan bahasa Arab melalui retorik teks-teks sastera Arab. Dengan demikian, kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mengenal pasti bahan-bahan rujukan yang sedia ada yang telah digunakan di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dengan menganalisis isi kandungan dan silibus buku teks Balaghah yang menjadi rujukan pelajar Institusi Pengajian Tinggi. Hal ini kerana setiap universiti telah menggunakan pelbagai buku rujukan dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran Balaghah. Kajian ini telah menganalisa data dengan menggunakan kaedah Analisis Tematik untuk menganalisis kandungan buku-buku rujukan subjek Balaghah yang digunakan di IPTA/S. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa buku-buku yang sedia ada ini tidak sesuai untuk dijadikan sebagai bahan pengajaran di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi, ini kerana kandungan ubahsuai tidak dapat mencapai ciri-ciri buku rujukan yang perlu memenuhi standard dan kualiti sumber pembelajaran utama dalam kuliah oleh guru dan pelajar
