The mastery of English as a lingua franca faces significant challenges among non-native learners, particularly those with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This study aims to explore the integration of an Arabic language learning model into English instruction as a cross-linguistic approach to enhance linguistic competence. The research was conducted at Pondok Pesantren Darussholah Pontianak using a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group (employing Arabic integration) and a control group (using conventional methods). The findings indicate that the integrative approach based on the 3C model (Communicative, Collaborative, Constructive) significantly improves students’ linguistic abilities, particularly in vocabulary mastery, grammar, and text analysis. Statistical analyses (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test) confirmed significant differences between the two groups, with the experimental group attaining a higher average post-test score of 75.60 compared to the control group’s 67.63. Moreover, the integration of Arabic language elements—such as grammatical analogies (comparing fi‘il māḍī and muḍāri‘ with English tenses) and text analysis techniques (istikhraj al-fawā’id)—proved effective in facilitating cross-linguistic knowledge transfer. This study contributes practical insights for the development of bilingual curricula in Islamic boarding schools and offers recommendations for educators to optimize contextual, learner-centered cross-linguistic approaches. The theoretical implications further extend the understanding of language interdependence (interdependence hypothesis) within the context of Islamic education.References
