This study is a qualitative research by collecting data from multiple sites that discuss the importance of learning the Arabic language for the people of Indonesia. Top 5 sites with those keywords are Rumaysho.com., BelajarIslam.com, Islampos.com, Kompasiana.com., and kiblat.net. From those five sites will be analyzed with  the Yasir Suleiman’s language and religious identity perspective which shows that language has a function as an instrument of communication and also, a symbol of identity. This study found that stereotyping against the Arabic language makes it even more exclusive and closed to non-Muslims in Indonesia. Learning the Arabic language itself is not limited to the religious orientation, but making it as a function of language itself, as a medium of communication. Arabic language has been ‘sacred’ with its strategic position in political, economical, ideological, and academic field.

The researchers used Miles and Huberman’s technique applied resting upon the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.

They were 1) pre-listening which contained vocabulary delivery, 2) the listening process which used videos from the learning.aljazeera.net website which were repeated at least 4 times, and then 3) the post-listening stage, covering the evaluation of listening activities from the simplest form to the most complex form of evaluation. The learning process of listening using the learning.aljazeera.net was a type of intensive, creative, concentrative, and explorative listening activity.

This study aims to determine the madrasah strategy in internalizing the values of religious character to students. The type of research the writer uses is descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, documentation and participatory observation. Data analysis techniques in this study used data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The internalization stage or inculcation of religious character values for classes 1-2 MI Nurussalam is at the value transformation stage, classes 2 (process) and 3 are at the value transaction stage, while classes 4, 5 and 6 MI are at the value trans-internalization stage. MI Nurussalam's strategy in internalizing the values of religious character is divided into two fields, namely the academic and non-academic fields. The strategy in the academic field of MI Nuruusalam is to develop the Madrasah curriculum from grade 1 to grade 6 by adding special Islamic subjects and fostering a love affair with Arabic (the key to opening Islamic insights). In the non-academic field, MI Nurussalam integrates religious character values into routine activities, spontaneous activities, exemplary activities, and the Madrasah environmental conditioning system.
