Formal classroom instruction often proves ineffective in developing students' proficiency in speaking Arabic. Enrolling in external language courses is currently an alternative to enhance Arabic speaking fluency. This study aims to investigate how students perceive the Takallam Program at a language course in improving their Arabic speaking skills. This qualitative case study involved eleven students and alumni from the Al-Azhar Arabic Course Institute in Pare, Kediri, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically using Atlas.ti software. The findings reveal that the Takallam program effectively enhances students' Arabic speaking proficiency through the implementation of the mubasyarah method, reinforcement of mufradat and qawaid, practice of muhadasah and debates, a supportive learning environment, and the application of enjoyable learning strategies by creative instructors.
