"Teachers’ Strategies in Implementing the Yanbu’a Method to Improve Students’ Qur’anic Reading Skills: A Case Study at MTs Unggulan Al Azhaar Mulyosari Pagerwojo"

This research was conducted because of the importance of using good and organized Qur'an learning strategies, especially for students who have not yet mastered reading according to the correct Tajweed rules. At MTs Unggulan Al Azhaar Mulyosari Pagerwojo, the Yanbu'a method is used as the main foundation in learning the Al-Qur'an. This method is arranged systematically and gradually, with an emphasis on mastering the makharijul huruf, the nature of the letters, and the correct rules of tajwid. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with the aim of understanding the strategies used by teachers in implementing the Yanbu'a method, identifying the obstacles encountered, and analyzing its influence on improving students' ability to read the Qur'an. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document collection. The subjects of the study included Al-Qur'an teachers and several students from various levels in the teaching and learning process. The results of the study showed that the strategies used by teachers, such as grouping students based on their abilities, individual approaches (sorogan), classical learning methods (halaqah), and the habit of carrying out muroja'ah and daily deposits, proved to be very effective. Periodic evaluation and continued coaching also strengthened learning outcomes. Students experienced improvements in reading fluency, mastery of makhraj, and application of tajwid laws, and demonstrated greater self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning. These results are likely to serve as a guide for other Islamic educational institutions in improving how they apply the Yanbu'a method.
