Journal EDUCATIONEEDUCATIONE Abstract

Effective Arabic learning requires innovative methods that are able to improve students communicative skills, especially in speaking skills (Maharah Kalam) which are often a challenge at the madrasah level. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of the Role Play method on increasing the Maharah Kalam of grade VII students at MTs Ar-Riyadh Pangkalan Balai. This study uses a mixed method method by combining quantitative and qualitative data through a one group pretest–posttest design, where all students receive learning treatment using the Role Play method. The results of the study show that the Role Play method has a significant positive influence on improving students speaking skills. This can be seen from the increase in the average score from 64.90 in the pretest to 87.80 in the posttest, with a difference of 22.90 points and a significance value of p < 0.001, which confirms the existence of a very statistically significant increase. These findings are in line with Vygotskys scaffolding theory which emphasizes the importance of social interaction in language acquisition, as well as the theory of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) which makes language production the core of learning. Thus, Maharah Kalam learning based on Role Play is considered effective in increasing students fluency in speaking, courage, and activeness, and is feasible to be applied as a strategy to improve the quality of Arabic learning in madrasas.

Conclusion

The application of the Role Play method has a positive and significant impact on improving the Maharah Kalam of grade VII students at MTs Ar-Riyadh Pangkalan Balai.This is evidenced by a substantial increase in average scores, from 64.80 in the posttest, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.These findings align with Vygotskys scaffolding theory and the principles of Communicative Language Teaching, highlighting the importance of social interaction and real-world communication in language acquisition.Therefore, the Role Play method is a viable and effective strategy for enhancing students fluency, confidence, and overall communicative competence in Arabic.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the long-term effects of the Role Play method on students Arabic speaking proficiency, extending the observation period beyond the immediate post-test to assess sustained improvements. Additionally, studies could explore the adaptation of Role Play techniques for diverse learning contexts, such as online or blended learning environments, to broaden its applicability and accessibility. Finally, it would be beneficial to examine the impact of varying levels of teacher training and support on the successful implementation of Role Play, identifying best practices for equipping educators with the necessary skills to facilitate engaging and effective learning experiences. These investigations, building upon the current studys positive findings, will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how to optimize the Role Play method for enhancing Arabic language learning and fostering communicative competence among students, ultimately leading to more effective and engaging pedagogical approaches.
