<![CDATA[This community service activity aims to introduce basic Arabic, particularly self-introduction expressions, to children in Jorong Padang Tarok, Nagari Salareh Aia Utara, Palembayan District, Agam Regency, through an Arabic language tutoring program carried out as part of a student community service program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN). The activity applied an expository learning approach combined with practice and evaluation, consisting of material delivery, ice breaking, paired introduction-dialogue practice, and a quiz session. The program was held at the Nurul Ikhsan Mushala and involved 18 children as participants throughout the 40-day KKN period, from 2 June to 11 July 2026. The results show that most participants were able to practice Arabic self-introduction expressions reasonably fluently and answered the quiz questions correctly, accompanied by high enthusiasm throughout the learning process. Constraints in the form of limited sound amplification equipment and audio-visual media were addressed by maximizing the use of the whiteboard and direct interaction between the facilitator and participants. These findings indicate that an expository approach combined with direct practice and evaluation is fairly effective for introducing basic Arabic to children in rural communities, and that similar programs should be continued regularly to ensure sustainable benefits.
