However, field observations indicate that many students still face difficulties in expressing their ideas and constructing grammatically correct sentences, in addition to feeling hesitant and lacking self-confidence in their speaking skills. This study aims to describe in detail the strategies implemented by the teacher to overcome speaking difficulties among seventh-grade students at the Quran Memorization Middle School in North Sumatera. The study adopted a qualitative approach using the case study method. Data were collected through direct observation of the learning process, in-depth interviews with the Arabic language teacher, and dokumentation of students’ educational activities. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which involves data reduction, presentation, and drawing of conclusions.
