Empowering Students to Improve Arabic Learning in Madrasah Diniyah. This community service program aimed to improve Arabic learning at Madrasah Diniyah Tanwirul Futuh, Sebandung Village, Sukorejo District, Pasuruan Regency, through student empowerment and teacher mentoring. The program used Participatory Rural Appraisal by involving the head of the madrasah, teachers, and students from grades 1 to 6 in problem mapping, lesson design, classroom implementation, and reflective evaluation. The intervention emphasized contextual mufradat, simple hiwar, language games, group work, short text reading, and preparation of a simple Arabic learning module. The results showed stronger student participation, better confidence in pronouncing and using Arabic expressions, more varied teaching practices among teachers, and reusable teaching materials. The program indicates that empowerment-based mentoring can shift Arabic learning from teacher-centered instruction to a more communicative, enjoyable, and sustainable learning culture. Its implication is a replicable mentoring design for similar nonformal Islamic education institutions in rural communities.
