Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using the Round Robin strategy to improve the speaking skills of Grade VII D students at SMPN 1 Jombang in the academic year 2024/2025. The study employs a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design. The sample consisted of students from Class VII D. Data were collected through speaking tests administered before and after the implementation of the Round Robin strategy and analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average speaking scores 72,28 from pre-test to 88,13 scores post-test. The t-test revealed a significance value of less than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between students’ speaking ability before and after using the Round Robin strategy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Round Robin strategy is effective in enhancing students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

This study analyzes the difficulties experienced by students in understanding Arabic texts in the maharah qirā’ah learning process at MAN 5 Jombang. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques, which were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal two types of difficulties: linguistic and non-linguistic. Linguistic difficulties include limited mastery of vocabulary (mufradāt), weak understanding of sentence structure (nahwu–sharaf), and pronunciation errors that hinder reading fluency. Non-linguistic difficulties involve low learning motivation, negative perceptions of the Arabic language, insufficient learning media, and monotonous teaching methods. These findings highlight the need to improve linguistic competence, enhance learning motivation, and utilize more varied digital learning media to strengthen students’ qirā’ah skills.

Abstract

Arabic writing skills (mahārah al-kitābah) remain one of the most challenging aspects of language learning in Islamic schools, partly due to students’ anxiety, low confidence, and limited motivational support during instruction. This study aimed to explore how psychoeducational-based learning was implemented in the teaching of Arabic writing at MTsN Pacitan and how it influenced student engagement and competence. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving one Arabic teacher and 32 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis using validated observation sheets, interview guides, and review checklists. Data were analyzed thematically through coding and categorization. The results showed that psychoeducational elements were systematically embedded in learning activities through motivational dialogue, collaborative learning, reflective sharing, and supportive feedback. These practices reduced writing anxiety, strengthened confidence, and encouraged students’ active participation. Students gradually demonstrated greater autonomy and improvement in constructing Arabic sentences and short paragraphs. The findings indicate that writing competence develops more effectively when emotional readiness and psychological support accompany linguistic instruction. This study contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by highlighting the importance of integrating cognitive and affective learning dimensions. Future research is recommended to apply this model in broader contexts using mixed-method approaches.
