A qualitative approach with a case study method was used in this research. Data collection techniques include interviews with Arabic language teachers, head of the Amtsilati program, Amtsilati assignment teachers, and active Amtsilati students.

The findings of this research show that Arabic language learning strategies based on the Amtsilati Method from the perspective of Bloom's Taxonomy consist of: (a) the remembering phase which includes reading, remembering, memorizing; (b) the understanding phase which includes teachers explaining sufficiently, students reading 2 example sentences + their meanings + their foundations, teachers providing clear understanding and checking comprehension with questions; (c) the implementation phase which includes familiarizing with reading the yellow book, familiarizing with reading Hadith, familiarizing with reading Tafsir; (d) the analysis phase which involves finding 4 elements in each word, namely the pattern and its type, its meaning or interpretation, its pronoun representation, and the rule of speech law; (e) the evaluation phase which includes daily assignments and exams for advancing to the next level. Both require 3 important steps in practice which are determining its position and movement, determining the stopping points, and providing meaning; (f) the final stage is the creation phase which includes final exams for levels 1-5 with the goal output being students able to read the yellow book and create example sentences. The research findings conclude that the Amtsilati method can help students read the yellow book and can teach the Amtsilati method to the community and/or future generations of religion and nation in a time span of 6 months to one year.
