(University of Abuja, 2025) Tajudeen Yusuf
Abstract This study stems from the urgent need of promoting ethical values in the contemporary society, amid growing challenges that threaten social cohesion. It aims to analyze the moral values embedded in the story of "The King of the Jungle and the Little Mouse", as an educational model that reflects the concepts of humility, cooperation, and mutual respect in building a strong and sustainable human community.

The study adopted and employed the textual analytical method by deconstructing the elements of the story, interpreting its symbols, and examining its moral content in light of modern psychological and sociological theories. The findings indicate that the story offers a deep lesson emphasizing the necessity of integration among individuals despite differences in their abilities or status, and that such values are foundational pillars for achieving social cohesion and collective well-being. Accordingly, the study recommends integrating moral stories into educational curricula and utilizing them as effective tools for cultivating value awareness among younger generations, in addition to encouraging research that explores the impact of folk tales on personality formation and the strengthening of human relationships. Keywords: Moral values, folk tales, humility and cooperation, story-based education, social cohesion.

The study is grounded in empirical research conducted across several educational institutions where interdisciplinary approaches have been implemented. By analyzing quantitative data from student performance metrics, enrollment figures, and retention rates, alongside qualitative data from student and faculty interviews, the paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of these programs. The findings indicate that students enrolled in interdisciplinary Arabic programs exhibit higher engagement and improved language proficiency compared to those in traditional language courses. Furthermore, these programs have been shown to attract a more diverse student body, including those who may not have otherwise pursued Arabic studies. However, the research also identifies significant challenges, such as the complexity of curriculum design and the need for specialized faculty training. The paper concludes with recommendations for best practices in developing and sustaining successful interdisciplinary Arabic language programs, emphasizing the importance of strategic resource allocation, robust faculty collaboration, and targeted recruitment efforts. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on language education, offering a model for enhancing the relevance and accessibility of Arabic language learning in a globalized context.

(مجلة الحكمة للدراسات الأدبية و اللغوية Eissn :2600-6421 Issn: 2353-0464, 2024) Tajudeen Yusuf
Arabic is a significant language, serving as a means of communication in Arab countries and numerous Muslim nations. It is also an official language in major international organizations such as the Arab League, African Unity Organization, UNESCO, and the United Nations. Despite its global importance in diplomacy, business, and cultural studies, Arabic language programs in many Nigerian tertiary institutions face low enrollment. Several factors contribute to this issue, including the perceived lack of relevance of Arabic to students' careers and the challenges of learning the language's complex script and grammar. Institutional limitations, such as inadequate resources, unqualified instructors, and poor program visibility, further exacerbate the problem. This paper explores these challenges and proposes solutions, including updating curricula to include practical language use, cultural immersion, and careeroriented modules. Additionally, enhanced marketing and 2 increased institutional support are recommended to attract students and improve program quality, ultimately revitalizing Arabic language education in Nigeria.

Politeness in Arabic and Yoruba: Personal Pronouns as a Case Study
(Asian Journal of Language, Literature and Culture Studies, 2022) Tajudeen Yusuf
Politeness as social rule which consolidates interpersonal communication and effective interactions in human society exists in all cultures and languages, however, the specific language and communication strategies that are employed to speak in a language may not work as well in other languages. One can use a wide range of grammatical structures, have a large vocabulary, and have a clear, understandable pronunciation. However, when speaking in a second or foreign language, one may not appear to achieve the desired outcomes. Perhaps the speaker lacks the cultural knowledge of the target language to demonstrate linguistic etiquette, resulting in overly direct discourse. Using descriptive and contrastive methods, this paper addresses linguistic politeness in using personal pronouns in both Arabic and Yoruba languages; it gives an insight into the similarities and differences that exist in the politeness culture of the Yoruba and Arabic languages. The study reveals that while both languages have some similarities in subcategories of personal pronouns, the areas of dissimilarity are obvious. A special focus is given to the use of honorific pronoun.

The Power of Words: Exploring the Constructive and Destructive Forces of Language in Surah Ibrahim
(JOURNAL OF QURANIC SCIENCES AND RESEARCH e-ISSN: 2773-5532 JQSR Vol. 5 No. 2 (2024) 47-54 https://publisher.uthm.edu.my/ojs/index.php/jqsr, 2024) Tajudeen Yusuf
This study provides a linguistic and communicative analysis of Surah Ibrahim (14:24–26), examining how language functions as both a constructive and destructive force through Qur'anic metaphorical imagery. The verses use the metaphor of the "good tree" and the "evil tree" to illustrate the profound effects of speech on behavior and society. Through advanced linguistic frameworks, rhetorical analysis, and communication theory, this paper highlights how these metaphors reflect language's role in shaping moral values, social interactions, and psychological states. The study employed both qualitative and interdisciplinary approach The findings emphasize the Qur'anic perspective on the ethical implications of language, offering insights for contemporary communication practices. Positive language, like a firmly rooted tree, fosters constructive communication and strengthens societal bonds, while harmful speech leads to instability and social fragmentation. In contemporary contexts, these principles recommend promoting ethical communication, focusing on sincerity, truthfulness, and respect. Moreover, further research on cross-cultural communication could explore how these ethical guidelines apply in modern media and interpersonal relations.

(LISANIA: Journal of Arabic Education and Literature P-ISSN: 2614-4425 E-ISSN: 2580-1716 Vol.8, No.2, 2024, pp.155-169 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18326/lisania.v8i2.155-169, 2024) Tajudeen Yusuf
ENGLISH ABSTRACT This paper investigates the teaching of Arabic studies in Nigerian universities, focusing on the challenges and factors contributing to the underrepresentation of female students and educators. Arabic holds significant religious, cultural, and historical value in Nigeria; however, female participation in the field remains limited. Through an in-depth exploration of societal, cultural, and institutional barriers, this study identifies major obstacles that discourage women from enrolling in and pursuing careers in Arabic studies. Key barriers include restrictive gender norms, minimal female faculty representation, and perceptions of limited career prospects, which collectively reinforce gender disparities in the field. The study also reviews current initiatives that promote gender equity in Arabic studies and proposes actionable strategies, such as curriculum reform, community outreach, and mentorship programs, to enhance female enrollment and retention. By addressing these socio-cultural and institutional challenges, the paper seeks to encourage policies and reforms that foster inclusivity, support female advancement, and improve the overall quality of Arabic education in Nigeria. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at achieving gender equity and strengthening the academic landscape of Arabic studies in Nigerian universities, thereby contributing to a more balanced and inclusive academic field.
