This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Think-Speak-Write (TTW) teaching method integrated with word search exercises to help students at MTs Thoriqul Ulum improve their command of Arabic vocabulary. A quantitative approach was adopted, using a quasi-experimental design with a control group and pre- and post-intervention (pretest-posttest) measurements. Forty-four eighth-grade students participated, divided into two groups: the experimental group received the TTW method combined with word search exercises, while the control group received the standard teaching method. The instrument used to collect data was an assessment of Arabic vocabulary skills, which included multiple-choice and short-essay questions. Data analysis was performed using normality and homogeneity tests, independent samples t-tests, and effect size tests with SPSS version 27. The results of the inferential analysis showed substantial differences in academic performance between the experimental and control groups, with a significance level (two-tailed) of.000 (p <.05). Furthermore, Cohen's d value of.813 indicated that the applied learning model was highly effective. Therefore, the application of the Think-Speak-Write model integrated with the word search game has proven effective in improving students' command of Arabic vocabulary.
