This study examines the learning outcomes of Arabic language learning during and after the COVID-19 pandemic at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al-Inayah in Bandung City, Indonesia. Qualitative research methods, including interviews, observations and documentation, were used to analyze the effectiveness of learning methods and factors influencing student learning outcomes. Purposive sampling was employed to select 15 ninth-grade students studying Arabic. The findings of the study reveal several important points. First, there were differences in the learning situation between home and school. Students must help understand Arabic material during online learning and catch up when returning to face-to-face classes. Second, students preferred to learn at school due to a more engaging and interactive environment, while online learning was associated with distractions and reduced motivation. Third, students perceived online methods as monotonous and less effective than post-pandemic methods. Fourth, various learning media were utilized during online learning. Additionally, students reported that even the online platforms couldn't help them study the Arabic language. The study emphasizes the importance of interactive and engaging methods to enhance student learning outcomes. The results contribute to a broader understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Education and provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers.
