Abstract

This research is driven by the diverse strategies in teaching Arabic within Islamic boarding schools, specifically comparing bilingual and monolingual programs in developing students' speaking skills. The primary objective is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of these two programs among senior high school students at As-Salam and Amal Jama'i boarding schools in Sukabumi. This study employs a quantitative approach with a comparative research design. The participants consist of 41 students divided into bilingual and monolingual groups. Data collection was conducted through an oral test measuring two key components: fluency and grammatical accuracy. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed no significant difference in fluency between the groups. However, a significant difference was observed in grammatical accuracy, favoring the bilingual group. In conclusion, the findings suggest that an immersive bilingual environment provides better structural support for language acquisition without compromising communication flow. These results offer valuable insights for curriculum developers in optimizing linguistic environments.
