Peningkatan Kemampuan Membaca Kata dan Kalimat dalam Bahasa Arab Santri Musholla Al-Masykurin Melalui Metode Interaktif

The ability to read in Arabic is a basic skill that is very important for santri in understanding religious texts. However, many students still experience difficulties in reading Arabic words and sentences due to less interactive learning methods. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of interactive methods in improving the reading skills of students at Musholla Al-Masykurin. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the application of interactive methods, such as group discussions and the use of audiovisual media, had a positive impact on improving santri reading skills. Group discussions help students understand the text collectively, increase confidence, and improve pronunciation. The use of audiovisual media, especially in the form of songs and learning videos, makes it easier for students to remember words and sentences, and makes learning more fun and interactive. With an increase in the average score of students' reading skills by 23.08%, it can be concluded that the interactive method is effective in improving reading skills of Arabic words and sentences. Therefore, this method is recommended to continue to be applied and developed in order to create a more optimal learning process for students.
