This study uses qualitative research methods with descriptive analysis techniques and content analysis sourced from documentation data in Arabic textbooks for Class XI MA Curriculum KMA 183 in 2019, related books, articles, and journals. The results of the study show that the Arabic language textbooks for class XI KMA 183 in 2019 as a whole have met the criteria of Mackey's theory in four aspects. In the element of selection, the book has met three criteria for validity in the content and components of the book, including the parts of learning objectives, the level of students' abilities, and the type of language used. Furthermore, the gradation aspect of each subject matter in chapters 1 to 6 consists of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and tarākib skills, each related to and supporting one another with deductive and inductive sequencing methods. In the presentation aspect, three procedures are used in the book: differentiation, intensive and pictorial procedures. Each stage of the book presentation uses two languages, Arabic and Indonesian, utilizing the help of image object media to make it easier for students to understand the material. In the aspect of repetition, several tadribāt and materials are presented repeatedly with different themes in each chapter in the four Arabic language skills. The analysis of Arabic skills on Arabic books for class XI KMA 183 in 2019 according to the ACTFL standard perspective is divided into three levels: intermediate, low, mid, and high. Each group is classified according to the content of the material, indicators, and evaluation of learning in each of the four mahārah in six chapters, namely mahārah istimā', kalām, qirā’ah, and kitābah.
