Penggunaan Permainan Berburu Kalimat untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Membaca Bahasa Arab Siswa Kelas XI MA Ghozaliyah

Abstract

Reading skills are an essential aspect of learning the Arabic language, requiring students to be able to understand the content of texts thoroughly. However, at MA Ghozaliyah Jogoroto Jombang, the reading instruction is still dominated by conventional methods that tend to make students passive and less enthusiastic. This study aims to describe the use of the game "Sentence Hunting" in improving the reading skills of 11th-grade Science students in Arabic. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the game "Sentence Hunting" can create an enjoyable learning atmosphere, enhance learning motivation, enrich vocabulary, and help students understand the structure of sentences in Arabic texts. The competitive and collaborative nature of this game also encourages students to be more active in the learning process. These findings suggest that game-based learning methods can be an effective alternative to address the low reading skills in Arabic among students. The implications of this research highlight the importance of innovation in Arabic language teaching methods to improve student engagement and learning outcomes more optimally.
