Metode Muhadatsah: Pendekatan Komunikatif dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab di Era Globalisasi di Pondok Pesantren Darunnajah

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Muhadatsah method in Arabic language learning at Pondok Pesantren Darunnajah, a well-known Islamic educational institution in Indonesia. The Muhadatsah method, which emphasizes active communication and interaction, aims to enhance students' speaking and listening skills in Arabic. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using case study methodology, to understand the practical application of the method. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document studies, and analyzed using thematic analysis and Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that the Muhadatsah method significantly improves students' Arabic speaking and listening skills, while also contributing to their reading abilities. However, the method shows less impact on writing skills. Challenges in implementation include a lack of trained educators, varying student proficiency levels, and the creation of a conducive learning environment. The study concludes that with proper teacher training, adaptation to student needs, and supportive classroom dynamics, the Muhadatsah method can be an effective strategy for enhancing Arabic language proficiency.
