Berbicara dalam Bingkai Fikih: Desain Materi Tematik al-Dayn untuk Keterampilan Kalam

Speaking skills (maharah al-kalam) in Arabic are an essential competency for students in the Arabic Language Education Study Program. However, field observations indicate a lack of contextual and thematic teaching materials, particularly those that integrate Islamic scholarly content such as fiqh. One important yet underrepresented theme in Arabic teaching materials is fiqh al-dayn (Islamic jurisprudence on debt), which holds high relevance in students’ social and economic lives. This study aims to develop thematic Arabic speaking materials based on fiqh al-dayn, tailored to the needs and characteristics of students in the Arabic Language Education Program, specifically at STAI Darul Ulum Banyuanyar. The research employed the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), comprising: (1) analyzing student needs; (2) designing thematic learning materials; (3) developing materials based on the design; (4) implementing the materials in classroom settings; and (5) evaluating their effectiveness. The results indicate that the developed materials significantly improved students’ speaking abilities, as reflected in the comparison between pre-test and post-test scores. While some students still required additional support, the majority showed meaningful improvement in their speaking performance. The contribution of this study lies not only in the development of Arabic teaching materials but also in reinforcing the integration between language instruction and Islamic jurisprudence content within the context of Islamic higher education. This integration supports both linguistic and religious competencies in a holistic and relevant manner
