IMPLEMENTASI PENDAMPINGAN PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA ARAB FASE D DI SMP IMAM BUKHORI YAYASAN SAID MUHAMMAD ABU BAKAR AL-JUFRI BATAM

Abstract

The School Field Introduction Program (PLP) is an academic activity designed to provide university students with direct experience in teaching practices within school environments while also contributing to the improvement of learning quality in partner educational institutions. This activity was conducted at SMP Imam Bukhori, Yayasan Said Muhammad Abu Bakar Al-Jufri Batam, for one month, from January 6 to February 7, 2026. This study aims to describe the implementation of Arabic language learning assistance for Phase D students during the PLP program. The implementation was carried out through several stages, including observation of the school environment, preparation of instructional materials, implementation of Arabic language learning in the classroom, and evaluation of the learning process. Learning assistance was conducted using a teaching module with the theme of ta’aruf (introductions), which was implemented through a communicative approach and supported by interactive learning media. The results indicate that the learning assistance increased students’ engagement in the learning process and encouraged them to use Arabic more actively in conversational activities and group discussions. In addition, the implementation of PLP contributed to the improvement of students’ pedagogical competence, particularly in classroom management, preparation of teaching modules, and the application of communicative learning strategies. However, several challenges were still encountered, including differences in students’ ability levels and limited instructional time. Therefore, more varied and contextual learning strategies are needed to ensure that the Arabic language learning process can be implemented more effectively and optimally
