Abstract

This research investigates the efficacy of the role-play method in improving Arabic speaking skills among students enrolled in the Islamic Education Management Program at STAI Ma'had Aly Al-Hikam Malang. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach involving observation and interviews, the study reveals that the role-play method significantly enhances students' self-confidence and proficiency in Arabic speaking. Instructors play a pivotal role in shaping and facilitating role-plays, offering constructive feedback to aid in skill refinement. Despite positive student responses, acknowledging the method's relevance and practicality in honing their Arabic communication skills, challenges such as limited resources and initial role discomfort were noted. The findings suggest that the role-play method effectively contributes to students' comprehension of Islamic education contexts and their preparedness for related careers. The research proposes that instructors incorporate this method more extensively into their teaching strategies. Moreover, students can benefit from recognizing the value of role-play in refining their Arabic speaking abilities. To address the identified challenges and provide a comprehensive understanding of the method's effectiveness, future research should explore broader applications and offer deeper insights into the impact of the role-play method.
