Abstract

This study aims to increase the enthusiasm of 12th-grade female students at Madrasah Al-Imarah for learning Arabic so that they can create an Arabic-speaking environment (bi'ah lughawiyah). Learning through the “Halaqah Arabiyyah” activity can help these students speak Arabic fluently, accurately understand spoken sentences, and practice the language daily both inside and outside the classroom all of which significantly contribute to the creation of an Arabic-speaking environment, particularly in improving speaking skills (maharah al-kalam). Based on these issues, the research questions in this study include how the “Halaqah Arabiyyah” activity is implemented and how effective it is in creating a linguistic environment to develop the speaking skills of 12th-grade female students at Madrasah Al-Imarah in Cikarang Barat, Bekasi. This study employed an experimental approach by comparing the Arabic speaking skills of female students before and after the activity, using instruments such as observation, document analysis, and tests. The results show that the “Halaqah Arabiyyah” activity is effective in creating a linguistic environment for developing speaking skills, as evidenced by a calculated t-value of 2.64202, which is greater than the table t-value of 1.69913 (calculated t-value > table t-value).
