Kudus, 19-21 September 2019, witnessed the achievements made by two students of the Arabic Language Education Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta to participate in the Arabic Language Camp competition (KBA) organized by DPW III ITHLA (Language Student Association) Arabs in Indonesia). This KBA competition activity was held at HMPS PBA IAIN Kudus as the host. This event was attended by 270 participants from 16 campuses throughout Central Java and Yogyakarta. In this activity, PBA FITK dispatched 16 students to participate in these activities.

The two female students delegated to the competition were Marsha Alief Noermayanti, who took part in the Insha competition, and Elis Sakinatul Puadah, who participated in the Arabic Poetry competition. Both are third-semester students who are also actively participating in the An-Nasyath Student Autonomy Body (BOM), one of the BOMs in the FITK PBA Department.

"One of the things that makes us quite heartened in this KBA competition activity is the presence and appreciation which is very positive and motivates the participants from the Deputy Governor of Central Java, namely Taj Yasin," said Marsha and Elis in expressing their joy. that Arabic in Indonesia is no less important than other foreign languages, be it English, French or German. Arabic is also a foreign language often used in several countries. Therefore, Arabic is essential to learn.

A precious experience felt by all participants from the entire series of activities. They hope similar activities or even more significant events will involve participants from other countries. Participants will get more experience and opportunities to hone themselves at more challenging levels.
