The present study aims to identify teachers' perceptions of mobile devices use in Arabic learning at junior high schools. Employed a qualitative method with a case study, 24 Arabic language teachers from various junior high schools in the South Tangerang City involved in this study selected by using a random sampling method. Based on the teacher perspectives, the results of the study reveal that the use of mobile devices facilitates students in understanding Arabic lessons and increase their motivation for learning. Time limitations and large classroom sizes were obstacles that decrease teachers’ interest to integrate mobile devices into classroom activities. Reading is by far the main language skill taught by teachers and there is a less focus on productive skills such as speaking and writing. The students have less attention and motivation for learning Arabic while the teachers have attempted to deal with this problem by several measures.The characteristic of Arabic language differs from each context. However, whether for inside or outside classroom activities, active methods are of particular importance for Arabic learning. Arabic teaching and learning practices facilitated by mobile devices require careful planning for a successful implementation lead to more active and effective learning of Arabic.

This research paper was written against the background that the implementation of literacy activities at Payakumbuh City has not been running effectively and efficiently. Several technical and practical problems faced by school principals. The habit of reading 15 minutes at school has not been implemented well, because there is no literacy management model. For this reason, the authors have developed a creativity-based literacy management model as a solution to existing problems. This research and development design uses the Borg and Gall model which consists of ten stages which are constructed into four steps, i.e; preliminary studies, development, field testing and dissemination. The research subjects were the principal of junior high schools, Indonesian language teachers and library managers in Payakumbuh City. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and validation sheets. Quantitative data were processed using SPSS 20 and reduced qualitative data as suggested by Mattew and Huberman. The model validity obtained a mean of 4.53 with a very valid interpretation.

The study used a descriptive survey. The sampling procedure employed for the study was both random and purposive sampling. A sample of two hundred and twenty (220) subjects participated in the study. The instruments that were used in the study were questionnaire and interview schedule. It was found out that most of the students in the public schools have greater access to integrated science text books as against their private school counterparts. Supervision is regularly carried out in the private schools by the head teachers but not much can be seen at the public schools and this has the tendency of improving teaching and learning of science at the private school. It was recommended that effective supervision must be performed regularly by heads of schools during integrated science lessons.
