The Implementation of the community language learning (CLL) method to improve the listening and speaking skills of Arabic of class VIII students at the Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic boarding school

Introduction

The implementation of the community language learning (cll) method to improve the listening and speaking skills of arabic of class viii students at the al-faruqi kampar islamic boarding school. Discover how the Community Language Learning (CLL) method effectively improves Arabic listening and speaking skills for Class VIII students at Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School.

Abstract

This experimental research uses a quantitative approach, which aims to determine whether there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class in improving the listening and speaking skills of class VIII students in Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School. The formulation of the problem in this study is "Is there a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class in improving the listening and speaking skills of class VIII students in Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School?". The population in this study was all class VIII students at the Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School in the 2024/2025 academic year, while the sample in this study was 44 students in class VIII 1 and VIII 2. Data collection using observation and tests. Based on the results of data analysis on listening skills, the value of to = 5.69% is greater than tt at a significance level of 1% (2.02) and a significance level of 5% (2.72), and on speaking skills the value of to = 6.67% is greater than tt at a significance level of 1% (2.02) and a significance level of 5% (2.72). So Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, namely there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class in improving the listening and speaking skills of Arabic students in grade VIII at the Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School, so that the community language learning method is declared effective in improving the listening and speaking skills of grade VIII students at the Islamic Boarding School Al-Faruqi Kampar.

Review

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Community Language Learning (CLL) method in enhancing the Arabic listening and speaking skills of eighth-grade students at the Al-Faruqi Kampar Islamic Boarding School. Utilizing a quantitative experimental approach, the research clearly states its objective: to determine if a significant difference exists between an experimental group (exposed to CLL) and a control group. The focus on practical skill development within a specific educational context makes this study relevant for language educators, particularly those teaching Arabic in similar institutional settings. The abstract effectively introduces the research problem and the chosen methodology. The methodology employed includes an experimental design comparing two groups, drawing a sample of 44 students from the entire eighth-grade population. Data collection relied on observations and tests, which are appropriate methods for assessing language proficiency and classroom dynamics. A significant concern arises in the reporting of statistical results within the abstract. The 'to' value (presumably *t*-observed) is presented as a percentage ("5.69%"), which is unconventional and likely a misrepresentation; *t*-values are absolute numerical values. Furthermore, the critical *t*-values ('tt') for the 1% (2.02) and 5% (2.72) significance levels appear to be incorrectly assigned, as the critical value for a 1% significance level should typically be higher than for a 5% level, given the same degrees of freedom. Clarification and correction of these statistical reporting details are crucial for the integrity and interpretability of the findings. Despite the identified issues in statistical reporting, the study concludes that the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, indicating a significant difference in skill improvement between the groups. This leads to the declaration that the Community Language Learning method is effective in improving Arabic listening and speaking skills among the target students. The findings suggest practical implications for integrating CLL into Arabic language curricula, especially in boarding schools. For future research, it would be beneficial to elaborate on the specific CLL activities implemented, discuss potential limitations such as the short-term nature of the intervention, and explore the long-term retention of these skills.
