Penerapan Conversation Card Berbasis Mufrodat untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Kalam Siswa Kelas X MAN Purwakarta

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Conversation Card based on mufrodat and its use in improving the kalam skills of tenth-grade students at MAN Purwakarta. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), beginning with a pre-action stage and followed by one cycle consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 30 tenth-grade students at MAN Purwakarta in the 2026/2027 academic year. Data were collected through tests, observation, kalam practice assessment, and documentation. The test was used to identify changes in students’ learning outcomes, while observation and kalam practice assessment were used to describe students’ participation and performance during the learning activities. The results showed that the students’ average score increased from 89.76 in the pretest to 96.15 in the posttest. The percentage of students achieving mastery also increased from 83.33% to 100%. During the implementation of Conversation Card, students were given opportunities to use mufrodat in simple conversations with their peers. In general, students were active and showed confidence in participating in the speaking activities. The use of cards provided visual stimuli and opportunities for students to practice vocabulary through simple oral communication. However, some students still experienced difficulties in Arabic pronunciation, indicating the need for continuous pronunciation practice. These findings indicate that Conversation Card based on mufrodat can be used as a supporting medium for kalam learning by providing opportunities for students to practice vocabulary in simple oral communication and participate more actively in speaking activities.
