Abstract
Vocabulary is one of the important elements in learning Arabic because it helps learners understand and use the language in communication. Indonesian students often face difficulties in learning Arabic military vocabulary because it consists of specialized terms that are rarely used in daily life, requiring appropriate teaching strategies. This study aims to analyze the direct translation strategy in teaching Arabic military vocabulary for Indonesian speakers and explain its implementation in the learning process.This study used a descriptive method with a library research approach by collecting data from books, scientific journals, and previous studies related to Arabic language teaching and vocabulary learning, which were then analyzed descriptively.The results show that the direct translation strategy is suitable for teaching Arabic military vocabulary, especially for beginner learners, because it helps students understand vocabulary meanings quickly and makes memorization easier. This strategy also helps students connect Arabic words directly with their meanings in Indonesian, reducing difficulties in understanding specialized vocabulary. The implementation of this strategy is carried out by presenting military vocabulary in Arabic and directly translating it into Indonesian, followed by repetition and memorization exercises. In this study, the researcher applied twenty-three translated military vocabulary items to help students understand and master military vocabulary more effectively.
