Abstract

This study examines the challenges of teaching Arabic writing skills (insya’) in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), where learning is often based on memorization and lacks structured, context-based teaching materials. This research aimed to develop, validate, and test the effectiveness of insya’s teaching materials to improve students’ Arabic writing skills. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) method adapted from Borg and Gall, consisting of needs analysis, design and development, expert validation, limited trial, and revision. The participants were students at Pondok Pesantren Al-Ittihad Cianjur. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, validation sheets, and pretest–posttest writing tests. The needs analysis showed that students needed simple, step-by-step, and context-based materials related to their daily life in the pesantren. Expert validation results showed that the materials were suitable for use, with an average score of 3.71, and only minor revisions were needed. After improvements, especially the addition of varied writing exercises and better visual design, the trial showed a clear improvement in students’ writing skills. The average score increased from 65.7 to 80.6, especially in sentence structure, vocabulary, and idea organization. In conclusion, the developed insyā’ materials are valid, practical, and effective. They provide a useful model for improving Arabic instruction in pesantren through structured, context-based learning.

Abstract

This article examines the role of Religious-Based Organizations (RBOs) as non-state actors in peacebuilding and regional governance in Southeast Asia. The study addresses the increasing relevance of religion in International Relations (IR), particularly in a region characterized by religious diversity and recurring ethno-religious conflicts. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this article analyzes the activities of major RBOs in Indonesia and the Philippines, including Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, and the Bishops-Ulama Conference (BUC). The analysis employs Constructivist and Liberal perspectives to explain how RBOs contribute to norm diffusion, interfaith dialogue, conflict mediation, and humanitarian diplomacy. The findings show that RBOs possess moral legitimacy, grassroots networks, and transnational connections that enable them to influence peacebuilding processes beyond formal state mechanisms. However, their effectiveness remains constrained by weak state collaboration, bureaucratic exclusion, political instrumentalization of religion, and internal ideological fragmentation. The article argues that RBOs function as strategic actors in promoting social cohesion and regional stability in Southeast Asia, although their long-term contribution depends on institutional recognition and stronger multi-level cooperation between religious organizations, civil society, and state actors.
