Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to the educational facilities and infrastructure at SD Islam Negeri 1 Malang and their contribution to improving language literacy. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing SWOT analysis to evaluate the current state of facilities and their impact on Arabic and English literacy. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires, targeting the school principal, teachers, students, and committee members. The results indicate that SD Islam Negeri 1 Malang generally meets the standards set by national regulations, with well-maintained facilities such as Wi-Fi, electricity, sound systems, and digital learning technologies that enhance the learning environment. However, issues such as inadequate water supply during the dry season and suboptimal toilet conditions need to be addressed. The analysis highlights that while the existing infrastructure supports effective language learning, improvements and collaboration with external partners are needed to address the identified weaknesses and threats. Implementing digital resources, interactive materials, and enhancing security measures are recommended strategies to further improve language literacy.
