<![CDATA[The advancement of digital technology and social media has brought significant transformations across various aspects of life, including language education, particularly Arabic language learning in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of technology and social media-based Arabic language instruction in Indonesia, while examining the gap between ideal theoretical frameworks of modern pedagogy and the on-the-ground realities faced by educational institutions. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research methodology incorporates literature reviews, policy documentation analysis, and institutional research reports. Findings reveal that despite increased adoption of digital platforms such as WhatsApp, YouTube, and online quiz tools by some educators and institutions, technological implementation still faces major challenges. These include infrastructure limitations, teachers' digital literacy gaps, and cultural resistance-especially within traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Conversely, significant development opportunities exist through localized content innovation, partnerships with global platforms, and the utilization of affordable, accessible technologies. The study recommends an integrated approach combining teacher capacity building, infrastructure development, and government affirmative policies to bridge the divide between theoretical ideals and practical implementation. This research is intended to serve as a foundational contribution toward developing a digital transformation roadmap for Arabic language education in Indonesia.]]>
