Problem-based learning, Maharatul Kalam, Arabic language proficiency, Ma’hadAbstract
This study is motivated by the low level of Maharatul Kalam proficiency among students at Ma’had Ibnu Zubair, Padang, despite their adequate mastery of Arabic vocabulary and grammatical rules. This phenomenon indicates a gap between teacher-centred, theory-oriented instruction and the demand for communicative speaking skills in real-life contexts. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method involving observation, interviews, documentation, and focus group discussions. The findings reveal that although students are able to memorise vocabulary and understand grammar, they struggle to use Arabic spontaneously in communication, experience difficulties in comprehending authentic conversations, and tend to be passive during learning activities. These problems are influenced by limited exposure to real communicative contexts and insufficient opportunities for meaningful language practice. Therefore, this study recommends the consistent implementation of Problem-Based Learning by positioning real-life problems at the centre of the learning process, supported by improved instructional design, enhanced learning facilities, and expanded opportunities for language interaction to ensure the development of speaking proficiency becomes more functional, natural, and sustainable in accordance with students’ communicative needs within the ma’had environment.
