Maharah Kalam is one of the most important skills in Arabic language learning, because speaking skills are the real application of language mastery. One of the relevant theories in improving this skill is Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, which emphasizes the importance of social and cultural interaction in language development. This study aims to describe the application of Role-Play technique based on sociocultural theory in learning Maharah Kalam in Dauroh Ocean Pare program, as well as identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in the learning process. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study. The data collection techniques used include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing of the Miles, Huberman & Saldana model. The results showed that the application of Role-Play technique in learning Maharah Kalam at Dauroh Ocean Pare was carried out through several stages, namely the interaction stage, the thinking stage and the tamsiliyah stage. Role-Play proved to be effective in improving students' speaking skills, especially in the aspects of speaking courage, fluency, accuracy of language structure, and the ability to interact according to the context of Arabic culture. The main supporting factors in the success of this learning include teacher professionalism, a conducive Arabic language environment, and flexible material provision by the teacher. The inhibiting factors found are students' different language abilities, lack of supporting media and limited learning space.
