Nahwu learning is a crucial aspect of mastering Arabic but is often seen as difficult and monotonous. This study examines the effectiveness of using pantun, a traditional Indonesian poetic form, as a medium to enhance Nahwu learning. A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative data through observation, interviews, documentation, and pretest-posttest assessments. The analysis included validity, normality, Wilcoxon, homogeneity, and N-Gain tests. The results showed a significant improvement in students' scores, with pretest averages of 66.42 rising to 92.38 on the posttest. Statistical analysis using SPSS revealed that the data were not normally distributed, which led to the use of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The test results (p = 0.000 < 0.05) indicate a significant improvement in learning outcomes. The homogeneity test result (p = 0.341 > 0.05) confirmed consistent data characteristics, and the N-Gain analysis showed a high average score of 78.92, categorized as effective. Qualitative data supported this, showing increased student motivation and engagement when pantun was used. This study proves that pantun is an effective teaching medium and contributes to culturally responsive pedagogy in Arabic education. It fills a research gap by demonstrating how local cultural media can enhance traditional grammar instruction.

This study investigates the influence of an Arabic literacy program and learning motivation on students' Arabic learning outcomes at SMP IT Al Amin Padang. The persistent issue of low Arabic achievement highlights the urgency of exploring strategies integrating language literacy with motivational factors. Prior research has often examined these variables in isolation; however, studies that analyze their combined impact, particularly within Arabic language education, are still limited. This research addresses that gap by assessing how both variables jointly affect student performance. Employing a quantitative correlational approach, the study was conducted on 30 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were gathered using a validated Likert-scale questionnaire to evaluate students' perceptions of the literacy program and their motivation, while academic records were used to assess Arabic learning outcomes. Data analysis included tests of validity and reliability, normality checks, and Pearson correlation analysis. Findings reveal a significant correlation between the literacy program, learning motivation, and student outcomes, with a coefficient of determination of 75.2%. The results suggest integrating literacy initiatives and motivational support can significantly improve Arabic learning. This study offers valuable insights for developing more effective Arabic language teaching strategies at the secondary education level.
