<![CDATA[Vocabulary mastery is a crucial element in learning Arabic. However, classroom instruction often lacks active student engagement. This community service activity aimed to introduce the Running Dictation method as an effective active learning strategy to enhance student involvement and vocabulary acquisition. The activity was conducted in Grade VIII at MTs Ummul Quro Al-Islami, Bogor, utilising a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The Running Dictation method integrates reading, memorising, listening, speaking, and writing skills into a series of collaborative and enjoyable activities. A total of 37 students participated, divided into six small groups. The implementation took place from March to May 2025, with a focus on Arabic verb vocabulary. The results indicated that this method increased students' enthusiasm, fostered teamwork, and strengthened vocabulary mastery through movement-based and interactive learning. Evaluation was conducted through direct observation, field notes, and reflective interviews with students. The findings revealed that students felt more motivated and engaged in the learning process. Thus, Running Dictation proved to be an effective, meaningful, and enjoyable active learning strategy, particularly suitable for Islamic junior high school contexts.]]>
