Abstrak

This study explores effective strategies for teaching Arabic in multicultural madrasah environments. It aims to analyze how teachers plan and implement Arabic instruction that reflects students’ linguistic diversity, cultural backgrounds, and learning needs. The research applies a qualitative case study design across several madrasahs with data collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of instructional documents. The findings show that adaptive and inclusive strategies such as communicative methods based on cultural context, differentiated instruction, collaborative learning, and the use of digital media increase students’ engagement, motivation, and communicative competence. The study also highlights the importance of teachers’ creativity, intercultural awareness, and technological skills in managing diverse classrooms. The results contribute to the development of innovative Arabic language teaching models that are relevant to multicultural education and provide practical insights for teachers and policymakers to improve Arabic education quality.
