backgrounds at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level in various regions. The research results show
that; 1) Teacher Professional Program activities play a role in improving teachers' pedagogical

preparing teaching materials in the form of language skills and language elements, identifying
teaching material designs that originate from learning objectives, identifying images and sounds,
video creation and media product validation with experts. Research findings confirm that
teacher creativity in developing media can improve the quality of Arabic language learning
