Abstract

Teaching Arabic in a Muslim community is both essential and fundamental to understand pertinent sources as a way to realize religious values in their life. Its reason lies in the fact that religion’s teaching sources that contain these values, primarily the Quran and the Prophet’s tradition, are all written in Arabic. Teaching Arabic language in Darul Arqam Boarding School in Garut, Indonesia, is an effort by its teachers to help spread these religious values among students. The main problem here is whether this teaching of Arabic language may run in harmony with the child-friendly environment needed by children. This paper analyzes this problem through studying all these teaching components: the proficiency and awareness of the teachers, teaching materials, learning process and evaluation, and also the students as the receivers of the child-friendly treatment. Using descriptive analysis as a method, it elaborates how these related components of Arabic teaching comprising of educators, students, materials, learning process and its evaluation, put into work, and how these connect closely to child-friendly values. Based on the results of the study, teaching Arabic in Darul Arqam Boarding School has all its components as child-friendly. Teachers transfer knowledge in a way convenient and inspiring to the students; it encourages them to seek further, and they also communicate with them effectively and in a friendly manner so that suitable environment required for a good development of skill and knowledge in Arabic language may be attained. In general, the components of teaching comprised of educators have been put in full commitment to meet the requirements needed in any child-friendly environment
