<![CDATA[This community service project addressed limited pedagogical competence among Arabic course instructors at Pondok Pesantren Mambaus Sholihin, Gresik. Focusing on improving practical teaching skills and classroom management for basic-to-intermediate Arabic classes, the intervention aimed to enhance instructors’ ability to design lesson plans, apply communicative activities, and assess learning outcomes effectively. The program deployed a blended accompaniment model combining workshops, classroom coaching, peer lesson observations, and reflective feedback over three months. Data were collected through pre‑ and post‑competency assessments, classroom observation rubrics, participant journals, and focus-group interviews. Results showed measurable improvements in instructors’ pedagogical competence: average lesson‑planning scores increased by 38%, use of interactive communicative techniques rose markedly, and formative assessment practices became more systematic. Participants reported greater confidence in managing mixed-ability groups and adapting materials to pesantren contexts. The project produced a practical teaching guidebook and a set of adaptable lesson templates for Arabic courses. Recommendations include institutionalizing periodic pedagogical coaching, expanding the accompaniment model to other pesantren, and conducting longitudinal evaluation of student learning impacts.]]>
