Lecturers of Arabic learning media courses have met AFMLTA standards, namely mastering pedagogic, professional, and social competencies. Pedagogic competence is colored by the ability to manage classes. Professional competence is aimed at the formulation of learning objectives before lecturers step into the learning process. Meanwhile, social competence is aimed at creating a learning atmosphere by adjusting the curriculum and culture of the INSURI Ponorogo campus.
