Abstract

One of the evident phenomena observed in West Java is the decline in learners’ interest in learning the Arabic language, despite the significant increase in the number of Quran memorizers in the region. This is notable considering the strong and close relationship between the Arabic language and the words of Allah, the Almighty. This phenomenon was mentioned by the Vice Governor of West Java during the opening ceremony, where he emphasized the importance of the Arabic-language Tafsir (interpretation) competition. He highlighted how its content helps to stimulate external linguistic motivation among participants in particular, and learners in general, to Arabic speaking skills with optimal performance.This study aims to explore the effect of the Arabic-language Quran Interpretation Competition in developing the speaking skills of participants in West Java, as well as to identify the benefits gained from participating in this competition. The researcher employed both qualitative and quantitative methods within a sequential exploratory design, using specific tools such as interviews, observations, and document analysis, followed by a questionnaire distributed participants.The study reveals that the competition serves as an educational tool that enhances speaking skills, offering benefits that surpass those of other language activities such as academic debates, speech delivery, and others.
