<![CDATA[This research seeks to analyze the causal link between the implementation of image-based visual presentations (via a projector) and the enhancement of students’ interest in learning Arabic among Grade XI D students at MA Al Wathoniyyah in Semarang City, Central Java. The study is motivated by a decrease in student engagement resulting from traditional teaching approaches that are passive, outdated, and heavily reliant on verbal or lecture-based methods. A quantitative method was applied using a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The population comprised all Grade XI students at MA Al Wathoniyyah, with Class XI D assigned as the experimental group and Class XI C as the control group. Data collection was carried out through a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring learning interest, administered via pre-tests and post-tests in both groups. The data were analyzed using prerequisite statistical tests (normality and homogeneity), followed by t-tests to identify differences in mean scores, and N-Gain analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of improvement. The findings reveal that image-based visual presentations significantly enhance students’ attention, participation, and motivation to learn. This is reflected in the experimental group’s N-Gain score, which reached a high level (0.62), substantially higher than the control group's (0.11). Overall, the results demonstrate that using image-based visual media effectively increases students’ interest in learning Arabic.]]>
