This study seeks to analyze the informal strategies as well as practices that students at Islamic dormitory use to improve their English language skill outside of formal classroom settings. The research adopted a qualitative case study design involving five 11th-grade students residing in the Islamic dormitory. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, direct observations of student interactions and speaking abilities, along with field notes and checklists to ensure data validity. Interviews and observations took place directly within the dormitory context, focusing on students use of English in daily activities. Data analysis was conducted through data compression, structured presentation, and thorough conclusion drawing to interpret the qualitative findings. The results revealed a wide variation in students English proficiency, ranging from beginner to advanced levels, mainly influenced by the supportive dormitory environment fostering language fluency. Social interactions guided by tutors and senior students were identified as critical to accelerating practical language mastery outside the classroom. Furthermore, the research highlighted the importance of a supportive social environment and dormitory facilities in enhancing English language skills.

The study concludes that the Islamic dormitory environment effectively supports English proficiency development through its interactive, supportive, and socially rich atmosphere.Students enhance their English skills through informal learning activities outside formal classes, such as daily conversations and interactions.The findings emphasize the importance of combining formal classroom instruction with non-formal dormitory activities to optimize students speaking skills.

Further research could explore the specific types of dormitory activities that most effectively promote English fluency, potentially through comparative studies of different Islamic boarding schools. Additionally, investigating the role of digital technologies and online resources in supplementing informal English learning within the dormitory context would be valuable. Finally, a longitudinal study tracking the long-term English language development of students who participate in these dormitory programs could provide insights into the sustained impact of this learning environment, and whether the benefits extend beyond their schooling years. These investigations should consider the students motivation, learning styles, and the availability of resources to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing their English language proficiency. Such research could inform the development of more effective language learning programs tailored to the unique context of Islamic boarding schools, ultimately contributing to improved English communication skills and broader academic success for students.
