This study examines Arabic language learning strategies at the Indonesian School in Cairo (SIC), addressing the challenges posed by the diverse backgrounds of high school students. The students, primarily children of Indonesian Embassy staff, generally exhibit limitations in speaking and writing skills compared to elementary and middle school students, who are more accustomed to an Arabic-speaking environment. The teaching is conducted by native Egyptian instructors using textbooks published in Indonesia. Focusing on 11th-grade students, this study aims to analyze instructional strategies that can help students overcome their difficulties in learning Arabic. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for developing Arabic teaching strategies in similar schools abroad.
