Abstract

This study aims to analyze the design and impact of the integration of Arabic language curricula between the salaf and khalaf pesantren approaches in the Arabic Language Program at Madrasah I’dadiyah Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Sukorejo Situbondo. This integration is carried out in response to the challenges of contemporary Arabic education, which requires mastery of classical texts as well as modern communication skills. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving the curriculum, teachers, students, and institutional management. The results of the study indicate that the integrative curriculum successfully combines the strengths of the salaf pesantren—which emphasizes the understanding of classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning)—with the advantages of the khalaf pesantren, which focuses on communicative competence. The pedagogical approaches employed include the sorogan, bandongan, hiwar, muhadatsah, and qirā’ah methods, all of which have proven effective in enhancing students’ abilities in both understanding Islamic texts and actively using the Arabic language. Substantively, this curriculum has produced graduates who are adaptive, communicative, and ready to compete in both academic and global arenas. This research provides both conceptual and practical contributions to the development of a contextual and sustainable pesantren-based Arabic language curriculum.
