<![CDATA[Pesantren are recognized as traditional Islamic educational institutions that play a vital role in preserving Islamic intellectual heritage. However, many pesantren still face limitations regarding learning resources and supporting facilities, particularly concerning access to traditional texts. This study aims to examine the integration of technology into traditional education through the digitization of kitab kuning (traditional Islamic texts) as an effort to boost students' interest in learning and support their Arabic language skills at Pesantren Wali Songo Sukajadi. The study employs a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through interviews with students and instructors, direct observation of learning activities, and documentation of the digital learning materials used at the pesantren. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques, comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the digitization of kitab kuning via social media platforms and digital applications has enhanced student engagement in learning and expanded their access to classical Islamic texts. The use of digital media allows students to review learning materials with greater flexibility and fosters more interactive learning through online discussions and communication. The implementation of this technological innovation follows the stages outlined in the Diffusion of Innovations theory, wherein students gradually accept and utilize digital media as part of their learning process. Overall, the integration of technology through the digitization of kitab kuning contributes positively to increasing students' learning motivation and supporting the development of Arabic language competence within the pesantren learning environment.]]>
