Data collection techniques are tests, questionnaires. The results showed: 1)
the students' Arabic writing ability obtained an average score of 64.99 with the category of moderate. 2) There
are 6 types of errors found in writing imla'iyah, namely distinguishing the sound of letters (phonemes) that are
similar and close, writing alif lam syamsiah, writing hamzah washal, connecting and breaking the writing of
words, hazaf and ziyadah alif, waw, ya and badl harf. 3) There are two problems as factors that cause students'
writing ability to tend to be low, namely (a) musykilah lughawiyah: a review of the characteristics of Arabic
writing and imla'iyah rules that have not been mastered well by students and the mastery of mufradat is still
minimal, (b) musykilah ghair lughawiyah: not used to writing Arabic, have never learned the rules of Arabic
writing, imla'iyah writing skills have received less attention at the madrasa/school level, diverse school
backgrounds, students' listening ability in identifying and distinguishing sounds is not good. The strategy to
improve imlak writing skills is to apply the imla' istima'iy mukatstsaf method at the beginning of each lecture,
the drill and mentashwib method directly, provide mufradat reinforcement, independent assignments with
reproduction techniques.
