Multi-Language Methods of Santri on The Development of Arabic and English at Pondok Pesantren

Abstract

Islamic boarding school is one of Indonesia's educational institutions that teaches general subjects and religious lessons. In general, the pesantren is only a group of buildings consisting of the Kiai's house, a mosque, the residence of the santri, and the study room of the santri. Here the santri live for several years and learn directly from the Kiai in religious knowledge. However, the importance of foreign languages ​​is very much needed to be taken seriously as a value-added ability from the main goal of the Islamic boarding school itself. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach—data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis uses water techniques. This study resulted that asatidzah's efforts in using foreign language methods to improve the ability of students in Arabic and English at Islamic boarding schools played a role as a motivator, developing methods, and good classroom management. The methods used by the asatidzah at the Kiai Syarifuddin Islamic Boarding School are the grammatical and translation method, the direct method, and the reading method.
