Abstract

Learning Arabic language is essential in Islamic and formal education, especially in institutions that aim to equip learners with linguistic ability and good character. Bilingual schools involve various factors in the teaching and learning process such as institutional policy, learners' background, and teaching approach. This study aims to examine the practice of Arabic language teaching and learning in SMP Bilingual Terpadu Krian Sidoarjo using a qualitative method. Classroom observations were conducted in 12 meetings over two months, followed by semi-structured interviews with one Arabic language teacher and five selected eighth grade students, as well as document analysis. The results indicate that Arabic language teaching practices apply a mixed instructional strategy combining direct explanation and interactive activities, which support both conceptual understanding and active student involvement. Student participation tends to be dynamic, influenced by lesson design, language proficiency, and self-confidence. The use of bilingual instruction helps students understand the material more easily; however, it may reduce exposure to the target language. Challenges include varying levels of student ability and inconsistent participation, while supporting factors include flexible teaching strategies, diverse techniques, and a positive classroom atmosphere. This study provides insights into Arabic language teaching practices in bilingual schools and highlights important considerations for improving effective teaching and learning processes.

Abstract

The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum as a national standard for higher education focuses on measurable achievements and global competencies, but its implementation in Arabic Language Education has the potential to obscure the philosophical, religious, and ideological dimensions of the language of revelation, science, and Islamic civilization. Therefore, this study aims to critique the Arabic Language Education curriculum by examining the suitability of the ideology of Arabic as the language of revelation, science, and Islamic civilization with the technocratic implementation of OBE, and to identify adjustments to remain in line with the vision of Islamic science. This study uses a critical qualitative method with an analysis of the curriculum ideology through a review of OBE documents, interviews with PBA lecturers and students, and a review of philosophical educational literature. The results of the study show four main findings: [1] Philosophical critique of the OBE ideology, [2] Adjustment of the OBE curriculum in Arabic Language Education, [3] Philosophical Dilemmas in the Implementation of OBE, [4] The practical impact of the OBE curriculum on the learning process. This research is expected to harmonize OBE and Arabic language ideology through curriculum design that combines technocratic-pragmatic orientation with philosophical, religious, and ideological dimensions, so that the study program not only meets accreditation standards and global competitiveness but also remains faithful to the mission of Islamic science which is the core spirit of Arabic language education.
