Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Arabic speaking instruction (mahārat al-kalām) at STIBA Ar Raayah through the interaction between educational management practices and the application of ACTFL proficiency levels. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design, the research draws on classroom observations, interviews with students and instructors, and document analysis of curriculum materials and ACTFL-related guidelines to capture institutional patterns of curriculum organization, instructional practice, and assessment. The findings indicate that Arabic speaking instruction at STIBA Ar Raayah is institutionally concentrated during the preparatory year (Iʿdād), supported by centralized curriculum management, staged instructional design, and sustained Arabic exposure through residential living and Arabic-medium instruction. ACTFL proficiency levels function as a guiding framework for instructional alignment and formative assessment rather than as rigid benchmarks for outcome measurement. Extracurricular speaking activities operate as complementary spaces for practice and refinement, while the immersive language environment (bī’ah lughawīyah) provides continuous opportunities for language use beyond formal instruction. Overall, the study presents a context-specific best practice model in which curricular alignment, proficiency frameworks, and learning environments interact to support Arabic speaking development. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how educational management can sustain proficiency-oriented language instruction within institutional contexts.

Abstract

Arabic speaking skill acquisition in Arabic Language Education (PBA) programs often faces challenges due to the lack of interactive teaching methods aligned with the language's complexity. This study addresses the gap by applying Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, which posits language develops through social interaction. This study addresses the prevalent gap in effective Arabic speaking pedagogy by integrating Vygotsky's sociocultural theory into a simulation-based learning model. It explores how such an approach enhances the speaking skills of students in an Arabic Language Education (PBA) program. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research investigates student experiences and perceptions within this interactive framework. Findings demonstrate a significant improvement in students' Arabic speaking proficiency, accompanied by elevated confidence and motivation. The study concludes that simulation models grounded in sociocultural theory offer a potent pedagogical innovation, contributing valuable insights to the discourse on communicative language teaching and the practical application of social learning paradigms in foreign language education.
