Abstract

This study aims to describe the characteristics, supporting factors, inhibitory factors and its implications in improving students' speaking competence at the Al Amien Prenduan Islamic Boarding. The research is conducted using a qualitative approach through data collection methods that include interviews, observations, and discussion groups. The study subjects consist of active students who participate in debate activities and mentors or related teachers. Data were analyzed using NVivo software to perform coding and thematic analysis, which allows for the identification of main themes and sub-themes related to the implementation of the debate program. The research results show that the characteristics of the debate program include the use of Standard Arabic, the active role of mentors, and the structuring of ethically stimulating debate discussions. Supporting factors include teacher support, adequate facilities, and motivation from fellow students. On the other hand, inhibitory factors encompass limitations in preparation time, disturbances from the surrounding environment, and obstacles related to the complexity of the language. The analysis using NVivo reinforces the findings that active student involvement in debate not only enhances speaking skills but also strengthens confidence and ethical conduct during discussions. The implications of this program include the enhancement of communication, effective oral communication skills, and the formation of character-responsive students who engage in ethical speaking.
