Implementation of Arabic Language Learning in Improving Students' Qur'an Literacy at MTS Perguruan Islam Al-Hasanah Tanjung Leidong
Keywords:
Implementation, Arabic Language, Qur'an LiteracyAbstract
This study aims to determine the implementation of Arabic language learning in improving students' Al-Qur'an literacy at MTs Perguruan Islam Al-Hasanah Tanjung Leidong. The study uses a qualitative case study approach with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that Arabic language learning plays an important role in improving students' ability to read, write, and understand the Al-Qur'an. Supporting factors include teacher competence, availability of learning facilities, a religious madrasah environment, student motivation, and additional programs such as tahsin, tahfiz, calligraphy, tadarus, and kultum using Arabic. Hindering factors include time constraints, differences in students' basic abilities, low motivation among some students, and a lack of digital media. The study confirms that the structured integration of Arabic language learning with religious activities and additional programs effectively improves students' Qur'an literacy.
