The learning media used are google meet, zoom, Schoology, WhatsApp, PowerPoint, or pdf. The learning method used is the method of discussion and information search. The evaluation system uses assignments and a structured exam which is divided into two, namely the mid-semester exam and the end-semester exam. 2) The effectiveness of learning Arabic cannot be separated from the development of methods applied by teaching lecturers.
