Abstract

Mastery of Arabic-speaking skills has been a never-ending issue in Malaysia. Various studies showed that the level of students' mastery of Arabic speaking skills among the Malay students is still at an unsatisfactory level, whether at the school level or higher education level. Numerous efforts were implemented, especially through the curriculum, teaching, and learning methods; however, the mastery level still needs more attention. Simultaneously, studies also showed that debate is a potential tool to improve speaking skills. Therefore, this particular study attempts to qualitatively investigate the impact of Arabic debate on the Arabic speaking skills of two Malay students at Sekolah Menengah Agama (Atas) Sultan Zainal Abidin. The data for this study were collected using a face-to-face, semi-structured interview. The results showed that Arabic debate helps students gain improvements in two aspects, namely language improvement and self-improvement. The findings revealed that students do not only improve Arabic speaking skills but also self-confidence, soft skills, and motivation.
