This type of research is field research. The method and approach used is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this research were Arabic language teachers and class X students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews and documentation. This research found that the strategies used by teachers to increase students' maharah al-kalam were the use of the al-hiwar method, giving mufradat, qira'ah method, peer tutoring, and evaluation. Supporting factors in increasing students' maharah al-kalam are: the availability of school facilities/infrastructure and extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors, namely students' lack of basic understanding of Arabic and students' low application of Arabic, make it difficult for them to communicate.
