Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method in enhancing literacy skills in Arabic language among eighth-grade students at SMPIT Bilingual Karawang. The implementation of CIRC demonstrated significant positive outcomes, including increased student engagement, improved reading comprehension, and enhanced writing skills. Through collaborative learning experiences, students actively participated in discussions and group activities, leading to a higher interest in Arabic language learning. Feedback from both students and teachers indicated that CIRC not only fostered a supportive learning environment but also cultivated essential social skills and teamwork. However, the study also identified challenges such as diverse student abilities and limited classroom resources, which were addressed through strategic grouping and adaptive teaching methods. The findings align with existing literature that supports cooperative learning, emphasizing the potential of CIRC as an integrative approach to language instruction. Based on these results, it is recommended that educators adopt collaborative strategies like CIRC in their teaching practices. Further research is suggested to explore the application of CIRC in different educational levels and contexts to enhance Arabic language learning outcomes across diverse settings.
