Abstract

Arabic language education for non-native speaker is increasingly important along with globalization and the need to understand Arabic culture. However, challenges arise when teaching materials do not pay attention to the local cultural context which can hinder the learning process. This research aims to explore the integration of local culture in Arabic language education for non-native speaker so that learning becomes more contextual and relevant. The research method used was a qualitative descriptive method through observation and interviews with teachers and students at MTsN 2 Padang, West Sumatra. The results showed that the integration of local culture can improve Arabic language understanding, facilitate adaptation, and make the learning process more interesting and effective. In conclusion, the incorporation of local cultural elements in the Arabic language education curriculum not only enriches the learning experience, but also accelerates language acquisition and encourages students to appreciate cultural diversity.
