Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the SQ3R method can enhance students' ability to comprehend Arabic texts and to explore the implications of its implementation in improving this skill. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. Three aspects were assessed to measure students’ comprehension: understanding vocabulary (mufradat), grasping the content of the text, and recognizing grammatical structures. Data collection techniques included observation sheets and tests, and the data were analyzed using percentage formulas. The research subjects were students of Grade XII at MA Nuruttaqwa Limboto, District of Limboto, Gorontalo Regency. The findings of the study revealed two main conclusions: (1) the classroom action research was conducted in two cycles; and (2) after the application of the SQ3R method, students demonstrated significant improvement in understanding Arabic texts. This was evident in the average score of Cycle I, where students’ comprehension reached 65%, compared to 40% in the pre-test. In Cycle II, the average score increased to 85%, indicating a substantial enhancement in their Arabic reading comprehension.
