Nahwu (Arabic grammar) is a fundamental discipline in learning the Arabic language, helping to prevent errors in speech and serving as a primary key to clearly understanding Islamic legal texts. However, in practice, the teaching of Nahwu often faces complex challenges, particularly the lack of active participation among female students and their uneven mastery of the subject. Therefore, this study aims to explore the problems in teaching Nahwu at Al-Madani Islamic Boarding School in Cikalong and to identify the factors causing these issues. This study aims to: (1) reveal the problems faced by second-grade female students of KMI in learning Nahwu at Al-Madani Islamic Boarding School in Cikalong, and (2) identify the contributing factors influencing the emergence of these problems. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The researcher used three data collection techniques: classroom observation, in-depth interviews with the Nahwu teacher, and questionnaires distributed to the students. For data analysis, the researcher applied the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, data triangulation techniques were used. The results of the study indicate that the problems are divided into two main aspects: (1) learning-related problems, including the gap between memorization of grammatical rules and their application (i‘rab), high levels of academic anxiety, and decreased classroom concentration; and (2) contributing factors, including methodological factors, linguistic-psychological factors, and classroom management factors. The researcher suggests that teachers adopt more interactive teaching methods and media, as well as innovative visual tools to reduce the abstract nature of Nahwu materials and enhance students’ functional understanding. Additionally, activating “Halaqah Nahwiyyah” (grammar study circles) in dormitories is recommended to overcome psychological barriers and improve students’ linguistic confidence.

The use of social media in Arabic language learning is becoming increasingly significant in today's digital age. Social media has become an integral part of students' and teachers' daily lives, opening up great opportunities to create more interactive, collaborative and engaging learning experiences. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok can increase students' motivation to learn, make materials more accessible, and improve students' Arabic language skills. This study aims to identify the opportunities and challenges of using social media in Arabic language learning using library research method. The results show that social media is often utilized by teachers and students to improve communication, facilitate the distribution of teaching materials, and enrich the Arabic learning experience. The use of social media has also been shown to increase student motivation to learn through active engagement in discussion and collaboration. However, there are some challenges such as unequal access to technology, high potential for distraction, limited internet quota and network problems and digital security risks. The use of social media can be an effective tool in Arabic language learning if integrated with appropriate teaching strategies and accompanied by digital literacy training for teachers and students, as well as the development of creative and safe educational content. This study recommends the development of policies and guidelines for the use of social media in schools and universities, so that the potential of social media in supporting Arabic language learning can be optimally utilized. 

Arabic writing is one of the important skills in learning Arabic, but many students have difficulty in mastering it. This study aims to identify strategies used by teachers in overcoming students' difficulties in writing Arabic. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the main difficulties experienced by students include limited vocabulary, understanding of grammatical structures (nahwu and sharaf), and lack of directed writing exercises. To overcome these problems, teachers apply several strategies, including: the use of interactive learning media, a contextual approach in teaching vocabulary, gradual structured writing exercises, and providing regular feedback. In addition, teachers also encourage students to read simple Arabic texts as an effort to improve their understanding of sentence structures and enrich their vocabulary. These strategies have been proven to help improve students' writing skills gradually. This study concludes that the active role of teachers, creativity in learning, and an approach that suits students' needs are very important in overcoming difficulties in writing Arabic among students.
