This event provided a clear overview of the entire implementation process and its achievements. We would like to add that the active participation of the guest lecturer, students, and all relevant parties was key to the success of this event. We sincerely hope that the practical knowledge and insights shared by the speakers will enhance students' communicative competence in Arabic, make learning more relevant to real-world contexts, and motivate them to continue developing their speaking skills. This activity has achieved its goal of enriching students' knowledge of Arabic speaking skills directly from international academics outside the institution. We hope that the positive synergy between the study program and external parties can continue in the future for the benefit of many parties, especially the University of North Sumatra.
