Methods of data collection using observation, interviews, implementation of learning programs and documentation. The data analysis technique uses Miles and Huberman's theory which includes data reduction, display or presentation of data, then conclusions. The efforts made in this study were to use an Arabic language learning model which was packaged in an attractive way so as to show the enthusiasm of the local community and foster their love for learning Arabic.
