This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with the subject of Arabic language learning using the Role Play method. The data sources include teachers, students, and learning documents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the Role Play method is implemented through stages of providing context, role assignment, dialogue practice, and role performance in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between vocabulary mastery in Arabic rhetoric terms and the speech proficiency of members of Jamiyyatu-l-Khuthaba' at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. Arabic rhetoric requires strong vocabulary mastery to facilitate the effective delivery of ideas, thereby enhancing speech proficiency. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with a correlation method. Data were collected through observation, written tests to measure vocabulary mastery, and oral tests to assess speech proficiency. Data analysis was conducted using the product-moment correlation technique at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the average vocabulary mastery score was 33.7, while the average speech proficiency score was 33.8, both at an adequate level. The correlation coefficient between vocabulary mastery and speech proficiency was found to be very high, at 0.935. This indicates that vocabulary mastery has a significant relationship with speech proficiency. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the management of Jamiyyatu-l-Khuthaba' enhance vocabulary training, provide exemplary speeches, and encourage members to recognize the importance of vocabulary in improving their speech competencies. Keywords: Arabic Rhetoric, Correlation Analysis, Jamiyyatu-l-Khuthaba', Speech Proficiency, Vocabulary Mastery.

Abstract

Arabic, as the language of the Quran and Hadith, plays a central role in gaining a deep understanding of Islamic teachings. In the context of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), the ability to read Kitab Kuning is a fundamental skill for students. This research aims to identify, compare, and conduct an in-depth analysis of various methods of teaching Kitab Kuning reading that have been implemented in various pesantren. Through a qualitative and bibliometric approach, this study examines seven learning methods most commonly found in the relevant literature. A comparative analysis is conducted to reveal the unique characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each method, both those rooted in classical traditions and those adopting modern approaches. The results of this study are expected to make a significant contribution to the development of curricula and the practice of Arabic reading instruction in pesantren. By understanding the strengths and challenges of each method, teachers and pesantren administrators can select and adapt the most suitable methods for the characteristics of students and learning objectives. Furthermore, this research is also expected to serve as a reference for further research in the field of Islamic education, especially related to Arabic language learning. Keywords: Kitab Kuning, Learning Method, Pesantren, Reading Skills.

Abstract

The researcher chose this subject from a change in the curriculum in Indonesia from the 2013 curriculum to the independent curriculum, and of course many differences between them. The researcher found that some of the school's pupils were weak in Arabic speech, because some were afraid to make a mistake when speaking. Some pupils are vulnerable in their tendencies to learn Arabic, as some are lazy in the education process. The aim of this research is to reveal the result of the tests using the Plotagon Story method for pupils' independent curriculum and use, and to reveal the effectiveness of this method in teaching speech skill. This research followed a semi-empirical study based on the quantitative input, its design from the experimental group and control group, and its community of seventh grade pupils in the Soebono Mantofani Islamic School of 120 pupils, and appointed the researcher to 20 pupils as pilot group and 20 pupils as control group. The researcher used data collection methods as direct observation, personal interview, tests, and questionnaires. After analyzing the data, the researcher reached the averages of the tribal and postgraduate tests. Based on the average results of the pilot group on the value of 47.4 and the average results of the control group on the value of 17,05, the average results of the pilot group are greater than the average results of the control group. I came up with the analysis of the data with the test rule "v" as a result of the calculation (t0) is 9, 2 the table is at the level of 5% indication of the value of 1, 677 and the level of 1% indication of the value of 2, 407 that shows that the zero hypothesis (h0) is unacceptable and the alternative hypothesis (ha) is acceptable. This means that the use of Plotagon Story method of teaching speech skill from the perspective of the independent curriculum of the pupils of this school is statistical.

Abstract

The quality of a learning outcome exam is heavily influenced by the quality of its items, hence it is vital to assess the test items to enhance its quality. Language learning is a complicated learning process that involves four skills: listening, speaking, writing, and reading. The challenge in this study is determining which tactics are used to assess language examinations and how to use them. The research methodology used is library research, which entails acquiring data from a variety of scientific journals for the study. The study's findings suggest that test items may be analyzed in two ways: qualitatively and quantitatively. In qualitative analysis, four variables are considered: material analysis, question creation analysis, cultural/language analysis, and test accuracy about student ability. In addition, quantitative research looks at the test's internal properties, such as test validity, reliability, difficulty level, test item discrimination power, and distractor function efficacy. Keywords: Analysis Techniques, Language, Test Items.
