Istikhdām Kitāb "Belajar Bahasa Arab Secara Tepat" fī Ta‘līm al-Lughah al-‘Arabīyah lil-Ṣaff al-Thālith bi-Madrasat Binnur al-Thānawīyah al-Islāmīyah Rembang

This study aims to describe the use of the textbook "Belajar Bahasa Arab secara Tepat" in teaching Arabic to third-grade students at Binnur High School, Sulang, Rembang, and to identify its strengths and weaknesses. Employing a qualitative descriptive field approach, the researcher collected data through observation of teaching processes, interviews with students and teachers, analysis of curriculum documents and the textbook, and a questionnaire involving 20 students. Data analysis involved reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that the textbook supports the acquisition of language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) within 2-2.5 years, with a 95% student satisfaction rate. Its strengths include a systematic structure and practical exercises, while limitations include reliance on teacher explanations and limited alignment (20%) with the national curriculum (KMA 183/2019). The findings suggest the textbook’s potential for effective Arabic instruction in pesantren contexts, though adaptations are needed to enhance alignment and support diverse learners. Further research is recommended to test generalizability across other institutions.
