Abstract
This article examines the potential adoption of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in the curriculum of Arabic language education in Indonesian madrasahs. In the context of educational globalization and the growing demand for learners’ communicative competence, CEFR provides a systematic descriptive framework for defining measurable, standardized, and internationally comparable learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the relevance of CEFR to Arabic language instruction, its compatibility with national education policies, and the challenges and opportunities of its implementation at the madrasah level. A qualitative approach was employed through an in-depth literature review of educational policy documents, national and international research publications, and theoretical works on language learning and competency-based assessment. The findings indicate that CEFR holds significant potential to enhance curriculum coherence, clarify language proficiency standards, and improve the quality of assessment in Arabic language learning. However, its implementation requires careful contextual adaptation to accommodate the linguistic characteristics of Arabic, the diversity of madrasah contexts, and the objectives of Islamic education. This article recommends a selective integration of CEFR principles through the alignment of learning outcomes, systematic teacher capacity building, and the adaptation of assessment systems in accordance with Indonesia’s national education standards.
