Tarannum Interactive Audio Book Model: Towards a Harmonious Assimilation of Information and Communication Technology into Quranic Education

This article presents an investigation on the effectiveness of audiobook application in Tarannum learning for beginners, especially among Muslims with no foundation in Tarannum. This study aims to analyze the suitability of this alternative Tarannum learning method for beginners, as well as to identify the appropriate content to be incorporated in the audiobook. Finally, this study also aims to develop a model of the new platform for Tarannum learning; the Tarannum Interactive Audiobook Model. The qualitative approach is used in this study to collect the library data from books, articles, and journals to form a research model. Furthermore, this study also uses the interview method by asking relevant questions to some experienced respondents to get their views on the suitability, requirements and potential issues on the application of audiobooks for Tarannum learning. This study found that there are existing studies on the use of audiobooks for the teaching and learning process but not in the context of Tarannum. Therefore, this study has contributed in developing an audiobook model. This model will be used as the main reference to guide the development of the actual Tarannum Interactive Audiobook, which can further facilitate beginners and students in learning Tarannum al-Quran more effectively.
