The Influence of Self-Confidence through Language Development Programs on Arabic Communication Learning Outcomes of Indonesian Students

The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of self-confidence development through language development programs implemented at four universities in Indonesia: IAIN Kudus, UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu, Universitas Ma'arif Lampung, and UIN MalikiMalang, on students' Arabic speaking learning outcomes. The study employs a quantitative ex post facto approach. Respondents in this study are students from the aforementioned universities who participated in language development programs under various names. The total number of informants is 138 students: 41 from UIN Maliki Malang, 35 from IAIN Kudus, 22 from UMALA Lampung, and 40 from UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu. Data collection involved a modified psychological confidence scale focusing on Arabic language-related points and academic scores in Arabic speaking courses. The analysis techniques include instrument trials to test the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using Spearman RankCorrelation. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26. The Spearman Rank Correlation test results show a significance value (p < 0.001), which is less than 0.05, with a correlation coefficient strength of 0.675. This indicates that variable X (self-confidence developed through language development programs) significantly correlates strongly with variable Y (students' Arabic speaking learning outcomes) at IAIN Kudus, UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu, UIN Maliki Malang, and UMALA Lampung. Thus, it canbe concluded that the higher the students' self-confidence, the more it correlates with their Arabic speaking learning outcomes.
