Abstract

Arabic language proficiency is a vital outcome of pesantren (Islamic boarding school) education, as these institutions are expected to produce graduates who are not only capable of understanding Arabic texts but also able to communicate effectively in the global context. In line with this expectation, Arabic language instruction within pesantren often places disproportionate emphasis on grammatical rules (nahwu), while overlooking the importance of active usage and linguistic discipline. However, it is precisely these aspects, active engagement and disciplined usage, that serve as the foundation for strong language performance among students. This article examined the key determinants of Arabic language proficiency among students at Pesantren Aishwa Nahla by examining their mastery of grammar (nahwu), level of active engagement, and consistency in linguistic discipline. A correlational research method was employed to collect and analyze data from a randomly selected sample of students at the pesantren. The instruments used included written tests and questionnaires. The findings revealed that most students demonstrate a solid understanding of Arabic grammar and show a relatively high level of active language use. Notably, linguistic discipline emerged as the most influential factor contributing to students’ Arabic language competence. These results underscored the need for an instructional approach that emphasized the habitual and integrated use of Arabic, enabling students to maintain focus and discipline throughout the language acquisition process within the pesantren environment. This research contributes to the development of effective Arabic language teaching strategies in Islamic educational institutions within the pesantren system.

Abstract

Professional learning communities (PLCs) are essential for fostering collaboration and continuous school improvement. However, their implementation faces significant challenges, including passive teacher attitudes, limited understanding of PLCs, increased workloads, and ineffective execution by school communities. Addressing these challenges requires a supportive organizational structure that enhances PLCs effectiveness. This study aims to examine the effect of middle leadership (MLT) on PLCs. Specifically, this study also examines the mediating effect of teacher participation in decision-making (TM) on the relationship between MLT and PLCs. Data were collected from 284 secondary school teachers in Penang and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that MLT had a significant effect on PLCs, and TM mediates the relationship between MLT and PLCs. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and school leaders on fostering a collaborative school culture through effective MLT practices, ultimately strengthening PLCs implementation in Malaysian secondary schools. Furthermore, these findings underscore the significance of empowering teachers participation in decision-making to enhance PLCs effectiveness.
