: Difficulties in learning Arabic become an obstacle in the learning process, such as lack of
time, place and learning methods. This research aims to determine the Arabic language learning
process in Arabic extracurriculars and to determine the role of Arabic extracurriculars in Arabic
language learning at MAN 1 Langkat. The method used in this research uses a qualitative approach
with descriptive methods through observation, interviews and documentation and data analysis
techniques using the Miles & Huberman theory, namely data reduction, data presentation and
drawing conclusions. The results of this research are that the Arabic language learning process in
the MAN 1 Langkat Arabic extracurricular is carried out once a week with several activities such as
Arabic content, Arabic games, Imla', Muhadharah, Muhadatsah, Drama and questions and answers
at the Arabic language olympiad using the discussion method through learning media in the form of
cellphones, dictionaries and books. The existence of the Arabic extracurricular role makes students
interested in learning Arabic and makes it easier for students to understand Arabic language
learning as well as improving learning outcomes and achieving many achievements in several
branches of Arabic language competitions
