Background: The problem that arises in Arabic language learning carried out by MAN 1 Brebes is the difficulty of reading Arabic texts and translating them into three aspects, namely, linguistic aspects, non-linguistic aspects, and cultural aspects. Purpose: This study focused on Arabic language learning in MAN 1 Brebes. The main is the application of Qira’ah and Tarjamah methods. This method teaches Arabic grammar first and then translates. Method: This research uses a type of descriptive qualitative research. The data collected and analyzed is in the form of words and images and is not related to numbers. Results and Discussion: The strategies in qiroah learning used by MAN 1 Brebes teachers are: The first stage, qira’ah Jahriah or reading aloud, has a very high significance for first-level learning because this type focuses on practicing pronouncing vocabulary or letters correctly so that students understand between the sound of hijaiyyah letters and the symbol of the sound or hijaiyyah letters. The second stage is to read silently. In reading silently, students are trained to deepen the material. Students understand the meaning of words, the meaning of words within sentences, and the overall meaning of sentences in paragraphs. At the last stage in qiro’ah learning, the teacher analyzes the grammar in the qiroah reading text. This grammatical analysis is not only to understand the manuscript but also to strengthen the grammatical material that has been given previously. Conclusion and Implications: Qiro’ah teaching strategies with the Tarjamah grammar method in MAN 1 Brebes can be summed up into three categories: qiro’ah strategies, Tarjamah grammar methods, and learning techniques. The use of the Qiraah Wa Tarjamah strategy in Arabic language learning at MAN 1 Brebes effectively enhances students' text comprehension, making it advisable to be widely implemented with the development of teaching materials, teacher training, and appropriate evaluation.

Background: The implementation of the Audio-Lingual Method is crucial in teaching Arabic vocabulary. Therefore, careful planning, precise implementation, and accurate evaluation are necessary to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Purpose: To describe the three main steps: Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in the application of the audio-lingual method for Year 10 students at MAN Kota Pekalongan. Method: This research is qualitative, with data sourced from Arabic language teachers, the Deputy Curriculum Head, the Principal, and students. Data collection techniques refer to the theory by Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that the planning stage includes the preparation of teaching administration, lesson plans, and teaching materials. The implementation activities begin with classroom organisation, presentation of learning objectives, and delivery of lesson content. Evaluation is used to assess students’ understanding of vocabulary through relevant exercises. Challenges faced in the application of this method include limited facilities, low student interest, and the heavy administrative burden on teachers, which hinders effective teaching. Conclusions and Implications: The conclusion of this research shows that although the Audio-Lingual Method has great potential in teaching Arabic vocabulary, various challenges need to be addressed to enhance its effectiveness. The implications of this research include the need for adequate support facilities, increased student motivation, and a reduction in the administrative burden for teachers. With these steps, it is hoped that Arabic language teaching can become more effective and engaging for students.

Background: This research was conducted due to interest in the learning of the Arabic language at the An-Najah student Islamic boarding school in Purwokerto, especially in the Foreign Language complex called the An-Najah Arabic Javanese English Community (AArJEC). There, the students appeared happy to learn because of the teacher's creativity in teaching, which helped them understand the Arabic language easily. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe the learning models of mahārah al-istimā' and mahārah al-kalām at the An-Najah Student Islamic Boarding School in Purwokerto. Method: This research employs a descriptive qualitative research approach to investigate the Learning Model of mahārah al-istimā' (listening skills) and mahārah al-kalām (speaking skills), with data sources obtained from students at the An-Najah Islamic Boarding School in Purwokerto. The data collection process involved interviews, participatory observation, and documentary study, with data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation, and verification. Results and Discussion: The research findings show that the learning models used for mahārah al-istimā' were the niteni (observing) model and the translation model. As for the Mahārah al-kalām learning models, they included the free conversation model as well as language activity models such as khitabah (public speaking), theatre, and Arabic discussion forums. Conclusions and Implications: The learning of mahārah al-istimā' and al-Kalam at the An-Najah Islamic Boarding School utilizes the Niteni and Translation models, which combine active listening, vocabulary acquisition, and contextual understanding. These findings can be considered in the development of Arabic language curriculum and teaching methodologies.

Background: Thematic Arabic language test items are crucial to be analyzed, but the interesting aspect is to determine whether the Arabic language questions used meet the criteria of HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill) questions. Purpose: To analyze HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills)-based thematic Arabic language questions, which involves the analysis of test items that meet the criteria and possess high-level thinking skills. Method: This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, as the analysis in this research requires examination from these two perspectives to generate accurate verbal and numerical results. The research sample consisted of 101 individuals from 3 classes. Data collection was conducted by distributing the test items to the students and analyzing them using the Anates application.. Results and Discussion: The analysis results show that the existing test items still contain a low level of LOTS (Low Order Thinking Skill) thinking, therefore improvements and revisions are necessary so that they can be re-tested in the next stage. Specifically, based on the analysis, there are several questions that still fall into the C3 criteria (items 6 and 15), C2 (item 14), and C1 (items 7-12). Meanwhile, in terms of quality, as measured through the Anates application, the XY correlation has a value of 0.63, the test score reliability is 0.78, and the difficulty level is found in items 2, 14, 11, and 15, which still need to be corrected and revised. Conclusions and Implications: The thematic questions that have been tested meet the HOTS criteria, but in terms of quality, they are still relatively moderate, with some questions leaning towards LOTS, therefore requiring revisions. Research Implications: The findings of this study can be used as a reference for educators to design and analyze HOTS-based questions in Arabic language learning, particularly in relation to the enhancement of students' higher-order thinking skills. These results can also encourage the development of more comprehensive assessment instruments that align with the current curricular demands.

Background: This research is motivated by the gap between the importance of learning Arabic and the difficulties faced by students in learning Nahwu through the Al-Jurumiyah textbook. Purpose To determine the application of Nahwu learning methods, identify the problems of Nahwu learning, and evaluate the efforts made by educators to overcome the problems of learning Nahwu using the Al-Jurumiyah textbook for Ibtida' Awwal B students at Pondok Pesantren Padepokan Padang Ati. Method: This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study design that focuses on the problems of Nahwu learning, especially in the Al-Jurumiyah textbook. Data was collected through observation and field notes. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Furthermore, triangulation was carried out to ensure the validity of the data. Results and Discussion: This research identified two constraints faced by students in learning Nahwu using the Al-Jurumiyah textbook, namely linguistic constraints (difficulty in writing and reading meaning) and non-linguistic constraints (background, interest, physical condition, and classroom atmosphere). To overcome these problems, educators use simple language, provide examples, deliver easily understandable material, utilize dictionaries, and apply learning methods through games. Conclusions and Implications: This research concludes that educators have applied various Nahwu learning methods, such as the use of simple language, providing examples, and utilizing games, to overcome the linguistic (difficulty in writing and reading meaning) and non-linguistic (background, interest, physical condition, and classroom atmosphere) problems faced by students. This finding implies the importance of improving the pedagogical competence of educators in designing effective Nahwu learning according to the needs of students in Islamic boarding schools

Background: The writing of the Qur'an often involved the use of two forms of the letter ta', namely Ta' Marbuthah and Ta' Maftuhah. Inconsistencies in this writing, according to the rasm Usmani, raised the need for a deeper understanding of its writing rules. Purpose: This article aimed to discuss the writing of Ta' Marbuthah and Ta' Maftuhah in the Qur'an, evaluating its orthographic rules and implications. Method: This research employed a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis of the Qur'anic text and related literature on Arabic orthography. Primary sources included both classical and modern works that discussed rasm Usmani. Results and Discussion: It was found that Ta' Marbuthah was generally used at the end of words indicating feminine gender or mu'annats, while Ta' Maftuhah was more often found in words with endings that did not necessarily indicate mu'annats. Additionally, in some contexts, words that conformed to general Arabic writing rules still used different forms in rasm Usmani. Conclusions and Implications: A correct understanding of the writing rules of Ta' Marbuthah and Ta' Maftuhah was crucial to maintaining consistency and accuracy in the writing of the Qur'an. This also helped in understanding the proper meaning and pronunciation according to rasm Usmani.
