Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of learning nahwu and shorof to help students understand the yellow book and other Arabic texts, but in reality, there are still many students who have difficulty in understanding Arabic language rules, both in word structure and grammar, so Ustadz has an important role in learning nahwu and shorof to overcome various difficulties faced by students. This research was organized at the Darul Muslimin Muhammadiyah Islamic Boarding School in Pare Kediri and aims to obtain information about the efforts made by the ustadz in improving the understanding of nahwu shorof, the challenges faced by the ustadz in the process, and the ustadz's strategy in overcoming the various challenges that exist. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach; the data collection methods used are in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results of the research are 1) The efforts of the ustadz in improving the understanding of nahwu shorof in the Darul Muslimin Muhammadiyah Pare Kediri Islamic boarding school by using active learning methods, namely not only using the lecture method but also involving students directly through memorization discussions and practice reading the yellow book. Ustadz also conducts periodic evaluations in the form of oral or written exams and daily observations. 2) Obstacles in improving the understanding of Nahwu Shorof at Darul Muslimin Muhammadiyah Pare Kediri boarding school are the low basic ability of students in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to Arabic, and the lack of interest in learning Nahwu Shorof in some students. 3) Efforts made to overcome obstacles in improving the understanding of nahwu shorof are additional tutoring programs outside the main learning hours, aimed specifically at students who still have difficulty understanding nahwu shorof.
