Employing</p> <p class="p1">a qualitative methodology through a systematic literature review, the study analyzes 40 selected</p> <p class="p1">publications from 2015 to 2025 that discuss the concepts, characteristics, advantages, and limitations</p> <p class="p1">of each approach. Findings indicate that intensive reading enhances linguistic accuracy and analytical</p> <p class="p1">comprehension through detailed text analysis, whereas extensive reading promotes reading fluency,</p> <p class="p1">intrinsic motivation, and global comprehension through high-volume reading. The synthesis of</p> <p class="p1">findings yields an “Intensive–Extensive Cycle” model, beginning with detailed classroom analysis,</p> <p class="p1">followed by independent extensive reading, and concluding with integrative discussion. This model</p> <p class="p1">effectively combines reading accuracy and fluency. The study recommends that Arabic language</p> <p class="p1">teachers in Indonesia, particularly in <em>madrasahs</em> and <em>pesantrens</em>, integrate both approaches in a balanced</p> <p class="p1">manner.</p>2025-08-27T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 mahmudi ar
