Arabic as the language of instruction, (2) the process of increasing student's speaking skills after attending lectures using
Arabic as an introduction, and (3) analyzing efforts to improve the quality of lectures. So far, this aspect has not been paid
attention to in existing studies. This research approach is qualitative with a case study model. The research data is collected
through interviews, observation, and documentation methods. Data analysis starts from data collection, data description, and
data reduction, then verification in detail. The results showed that students benefited from using Arabic as the language of
instruction, namely the addition of new vocabulary and terms, mastery of sentence structures, and the courage to express
themselves in Arabic. Improving speaking skills is characterized by increased self-confidence, fluency in speaking, and more
information to support speaking skills. The need to improve the quality of lectures by squeezing and the leader motivates the
lecturers to use Arabic as the language of instruction, provides many opportunities for students to be active, and Arabicization
