INTRODUCTION
Language is a tool of communication and liaison in everyday life.With language, we can get to know each other.Apart from the local language and the national language, namely Indonesian, we also know foreign languages.Foreign Language is a compulsory subject that must be learned by students at all levels of education.Along with the times, there are several foreign languages that must be learned, especially those that are included in international languages, this is important for everyone, especially students, to master all knowledge and are expected to be able to have competency in the foreign language being studied.Several levels of education in Indonesia, both junior and senior high schools, have made English and Arabic as foreign language subjects.Many students experience difficulties in learning both foreign languages, especially in learning Arabic.
As a Muslim we are obliged to learn Arabic, because Arabic is the language of the Koran.Abdur Rauf Shadry said that Arabic is the human language chosen by Allah to communicate with his servants, which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW through the intermediary of the angel Gabriel who was enshrined in the Koran and alhadith of the prophet then reached us and spread throughout the world because of religion, science, culture, social, politics, economy.The Arabic language has many features, one of which is the privilege in its grammar. 1 There are four skills (maharah) that must be mastered in learning Arabic, namely maharah istima' (listening skills), maharah qiro'ah (reading skills), maharah kalam (speaking skills), and maharah kitabah (writing skills).These four skills have an inseparable relationship with each other.For example, listening skills contribute to speaking skills or vice versa, and in turn these two abilities are strengthened by reading skills.The results of the process of listening, speaking and reading are written in written form (Maharah Kitabah), 2 however, writing has its own character that distinguishes it from other skills.The active and productive nature of writing gives it special characteristics in terms of the method, media, and variety of language it uses.Writing skill (maharah al-kitabah) is the highest skill of the four Arabic language skills.Writing is an activity related to thought processes and skills of expression in written form. 3riting skills material (maharah al-kitabah) can help students channel their thoughts and feelings in written form.Judging from the aspect of proficiency in Arabic, writing is a very complex activity, because writing is the ability to organize ideas in a coherent and logical manner, as well as the ability to present writing in various written

languages.and different writing conventions.Syamsuddin Asyrofi said, there are at least two aspects involved in writing activities, namely skills in forming letters and mastering spelling and skills in generating thoughts and feelings in the form of Arabic writing.This can be interpreted that although it is complicated in forming a piece of writing, writing skills have great benefits as an important supporter of language activities, especially their contribution in helping develop initiative and creativity to seek, collect, process and compile information which is then presented in written form quality. 4 In Arabic writing skills, media plays a very important role5 .Media can be a solution in overcoming students' difficulties in writing Arabic6 .Media becomes an intermediary for teachers in conveying learning material, making it easier for students to understand the content of the material.Gerlac and Eli say that media are people, materials or events that create conditions that enable students to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes.Meanwhile, Atwi Supratman said that media is a tool used to convey messages or information from the sender to the recipient of the message.In learning activities, media is defined as something that can provide information and knowledge in the interactions that take place between educators and students7 One media that can help students be more enthusiastic about learning and make learning more enjoyable is by using learning media in the form of language games.Language game media can help students in learning activities, especially in Arabic writing activities. 8Language game media that can train students' writing skills is crossword puzzle games (TTS).This article will discuss further regarding the use of crossword game media in students' mastery of the Maharah Kitabah.Word games can make students more motivated and enthusiastic about learning Arabic.TTS games provide benefits for students.Students can write the letters of a separate Arabic word, so that students can write and know the correct arrangement of the letters of the Arabic word.Apart from that, crossword puzzle games can also be used as an introduction to mufrodat.9

RESEARCH METHODE
This type of research is library research, namely research that seeks objects with various library information such as books, scientific journals, magazines, newspapers, and documents, using a descriptive qualitative approach.The results of this study indicate that crossword puzzle media (Al Kalimah Al Mutaqati'ah) is a very appropriate medium for teaching materials in the form of writing skills.Arabic learning media through language games such as crossword puzzles (Al Kalimah Al Mutaqati'ah) will make students remember the lesson more.In addition, through this media students are more motivated to be more enthusiastic in learning.This media can avoid boredom during the learning process, so that the lessons that students get either through the teacher's explanations or those that are obtained by themselves will be more easily absorbed, because the concept of language games is to form a pleasant atmosphere and make students gain knowledge.TTS game media can also be adapted to the material and learning objectives, especially in maharah kitabah.This media game also makes students able to master the vocabulary that has been obtained.
Maharah in Arabic comes from the root ‫مهر‬ which turns into the form mashd ‫مهارة‬ which means skill or skill, while the word ‫كتابة‬ which means writing or writing is the mashdar form which comes from the word ‫كتب‬ (kataba) which means writing.Kitabah is interpreted by a collection of words that are arranged and orderly.Etymologically, kitabah is a collection of words that are arranged and contain meaning.Kitabah will not be formed unless there are regular words, with the book, people can freely pour out their hearts according to what is on their minds, and with written expressions, it is hoped that readers can understand what the author says.10

Writing is the process of writing using a writing tool on a certain page.In order for writing to be well understood, an author and recipient of writing must have the same understanding.One letter mismatch, it will be difficult to communicate.Suparno argues that writing is an activity of conveying messages using written language.There are four components in communication, including the author as the messenger (writer), the message or content of the writing, the channel or media in the form of writing, and the reader as the recipient of the message. 11hile writing skills according to Abdullah Al-Ghali and Abdul Hamid Abdullah is the process of making writing clear while still paying attention to the integrity of words according to the rules of Arabic writing, so that a writer can interpret his writing.Acef Hermawan, argues that Maharah Kitabah is the ability to express thoughts, starting from simple aspects such as writing words to complex aspects, namely composing.Moh Amin Santoso defines Maharah Kitabah as the skill of forming letters and the skill of expressing thoughts or feelings in written form.From some of the opinions of the experts above, it can be concluded that the definition of writing skills (maharah kitabah) is the ability to express thoughts in written form while still paying attention to the rules of Arabic writing.. 12 The procedure for writing Arabic is different from Indonesian.The difference is most visible at the beginning of writing.In Indonesian, letters start from left to right.Conversely, writing letters in Arabic starts from right to left.Arabic has its own uniqueness among other languages.The uniqueness can be seen from the sound symbol and the letters.One letter in Arabic can take several forms depending on its position in a word, that is, when written alone or separately from other letters, it is written at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the word, just like the letter itself.'ain ‫,)ع(‬ if at the beginning it is written ‫عمل‬ , if it is in the middle it is written as ‫,شعر‬ and if it is at the end it is written as ‫.صنع‬There are also letters that cannot be connected with the next letter, such as the letters za' ‫,)ز(‬ waw ‫)و(‬ and others. Arabic has two types of texts, namely texts that contain vowels or shekels and texts that are written without punctuation.In general, students who can read the Al-qur'an will be able to read Arabic texts that have vowels, but if asked to read Arabic texts that do not have vowels, these students will have difficulty.This difficulty will cause students to also experience difficulties in writing words, sentences and texts in Arabic, if students do not Dikte (al-imla').Imla' is a category of writing that emphasizes the posture or shape of letters in forming words or sentences.According to Mahmud ma'ruf, the meaning of imla' is to write letters according to their place.This is done so that there are no errors in interpretation.Imla' itself is divided into 5 types, namely: first, Imla' hija'i.In this lesson students are asked to rewrite the hijaiyah letters in the book.Second, Imla' al-manqul (copying dictation'), namely transferring writing from certain media into student books.Imla' is suitable for beginners.Learning to write that is given to students for the first time is to provide writing practice by imitating written words or short sentences.Third, Imla' al-manqul (imla' observing), the activity is to look carefully at the writing on a particular media, then students rewrite the writing without looking at the writing again.Fourth, Imla' al-istima'i (imla' listening) is listening to the words spoken and then writing them down.Five, Imla' al ikhtibari (imla' test), namely imla' which is used to measure students' abilities in the imla' that has been studied.Listening skills, memorization skills and writing skills are needed in this case, because in this lesson a teacher reads several Arabic texts then students are asked to rewrite them without looking at the text.
Calligraphy (khat).Calligraphy (khat) is a category of writing that not only emphasizes aspects of letter posture in forming words and sentences, but also emphasizes aspects of beauty.

Kitabah Learning Objectives (Writing Skills)
Mahmud Kamil an-Naqah said that, the purpose of teaching Arabic writing is:Write Arabic letters and understand the relationship between the shapes and sounds of the letters,Write Arabic sentences with separate letters and continuous letters with different letter shapes at the beginning, middle and end, Mastery of how to write Arabic clearly and correctly,The mastery of writing calligraphic copy or patches is both easier to learn, Mastering/able to write from right to left, Know the punctuation marks and their directions and how to use them, Know the principles of imla' and know what is contained in Arabic, Translate ideas in writing sentences using Arabic grammar according to the word,Translating ideas in writing the correct sentences using the correct words in the context of changing word forms or changing meaning constructions (mufrad, mutsanna jama', mudzakar, muannast, idhafat, etc.),Translate written ideas using proper grammar, Use a language style that matches the title or idea used, Writing speed reflects the personal character of the writer with correct, precise, clear and expressive language.The purpose of learning to write according to Hasan Syahatah is: Familiarize students to get used to writing Arabic properly and correctly, Students are able to describe something they see or experience carefully and correctly, Students can explain something quickly, Train students in expressing ideas and thoughts freely.Train students to get used to choosing vocabulary and sentences that are appropriate to life, Train students to get used to thinking and expressing it in written form appropriately, Train students in expressing ideas, thoughts, ideas and feelings in Arabic expressions that are correct, clear, easy to remember and imaginative, Train students to be careful in writing Arabic texts in various conditions, Train students' minds to become wider and deeper and accustomed to thinking logically and systematically. 14eanwhile, according to Iskandarwassid and Dadang Sunendar, the objectives of learning writing skills are:15 For Beginner level are copy simple language units,Write simple language units, Write simple statements and questions and Write short paragraphs.For Intermediate level are Write a statement, Write paragraphs, Write a letter, Write a short essay, Write reports.ForAdvanced are Write paragraphs, Write a letter, Write different types of essays and Write reports.

Kitabah Learning Principles (Writing Skills)
The principles contained in the teachings of maharatul al-kitabah are as follows: 16 The theme and other provisions must be clear, Suggested themes come from real life or the author's direct experience, The teachings of insya' must be related to qowa'id and muthala'ah because insya' is the right medium to apply the qowa'id method whose ideas are obtained from muthala'ah, Student work must be corrected by the educator, if this is not done it will be bad for students, students will not know their mistakes, so they will make the same mistakes in the future, In correcting student errors, the teacher must sort them based on importance and must be discussed in special lessons.Maharah Kitabah Learning Stages are: 17 The teacher directs students to pay attention to writing Arabic letters starting from right to left,The teacher exemplifies how to write hijaiyah letters to students, The teacher introduces letters that are almost the same shape in the same meeting to students, The teacher explains the difference in the pronunciation of letters whose makhraj is difficult for students to distinguish, The teacher introduces 6 Example: LKS (lembar kerja siswa) untuk memastikan kemajuan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi yang telah diajarkan.

Maharah al-Kitabah Learning Technique
Learning techniques are effective methods used by educators during the learning process.The writing learning technique is a method used to convey Arabic material to writing skills.Some general instructions in the process of learning maharah al-Kitabah are: Clarify the subject matter, Explain learning objectives to students, Teach students to write enough time. in the sense of not wasting time, Teach students gradually, starting from the easy first to the difficult.Easy lesson examples: Copy letters, Copy words, Write simple sentences, Write a few sentences in text or conversation, Write answers to questions, Imla', Arrangement of directions (eg with pictures), Free writing.The next technique are Freedom to write, Khat learning, and Imla' learning.
Stages and learning techniques in writing skills (Maharah Kitabah) are: First, Skills Before Writing Letters.For example, students are taught how to hold a pen correctly, the teacher teaches and exemplifies how to line correctly.Second, Teaching Writing Letters.The steps in writing a letter are:The teacher teaches students to practice writing letters separately first, before practicing writing letters in series, The teacher teaches and exemplifies how to write letters alphabetically or by paying attention to the similarities in shapes properly and correctly, The teacher teaches students to always write letters first before writing words or syllables, The teacher instructs students to write one or two new letters at each lesson, The teacher starts writing examples of writing, then the students start writing on their notebooks.The things that must be considered by a teacher in teaching writing letters are: The teacher teaches students how to hold a pen correctly and supervises and corrects it so that they get used to writing correctly, The teacher guides students how to sit correctly when writing, The teacher gives directions and warnings about the importance of maintaining harmony between one letter and another, The teacher gives directions and warnings about the importance of maintaining harmony between one letter and another.
Third, Copy Teaching (Naskh/Naql).After finishing practicing writing, students are taught how to copy the lessons they have learned.Fourth, Dictation Lesson (Imla').This

exercise is done to test their writing skills about what they hear.This method is the same as the imla' method, a teacher reads a word in Arabic, then students rewrite what the teacher said.Fifth,Teaches writing systematically (Insya' Muwajjah), Sixth,Teaching writing for free (Insya' Hurr).In teaching free writing skills, a teacher carries out the following stages: Freewriting preparation, Free writing activity, and Freehand correction.
At the Ibtidaiyah level, maharah al-kitabah learning can be realized through guided composing (Insya' Muwajjah) then guidance is given in stages until finally it develops into free composing (Insha' Hurr).Maharah kitabah learning at the madrasah ibtidaiyah (MI) level is carried out in stages.Students compose under the guidance of the teacher, if students can do it, then students can compose freely.
The simplest form of guided writing is copying which then develops into activities to change the form of sentences.For example replacing one of the missing sentence elements, perfecting or completing an unfinished sentence, changing the fi'il, changing the passive sentence to be active, changing positive sentences to negative sentences and so on.The next step is to compose sentences by making appropriate sentences to describe events.
The technique used in the stages of this change is: Abbreviate the reading by retelling it in written form using the students' own language, Retell the pictures you have seen, Tell me about your usual activities, Practice writing free essays about events students have experienced or events that have occurred. 18

Learning Media
In language, the word media comes from Latin, which is the plural form of the word medium, which means a tool (means) to achieve something.In other references it is stated that the media comes from the Latin "medius" which means middle or introduction.The Association for Education and Communication Technology (AECT) defines media as anything that is used in message distribution activities.Media plays an important role in the learning process.The use of media in the learning process functions as an intermediary tool for messages conveyed by educators to recipients of messages, namely students. 19ile the notion of learning media is media used in learning that does not recognize place and time.The use of learning media in the teaching and learning process can arouse students' enthusiasm and interest, foster motivation in learning activities, and can have a psychological influence on students.The use of learning media will also increase student activity in the learning process.Education about the development of learning media is very important, this serves to overcome the scarcity and limited supply of media.Media can be self-developed by teachers or educators who aim to avoid media inaccuracies against each other's needs, resource capabilities and environmental conditions, so that the use of media can increase teacher creativity and innovation so that teacher professionalism increases. 20 Well-designed learning media can generate internal dialogue within students, so that communication between students and teachers can run well.Thus, the purpose of the media in the learning process is so that the messages conveyed by the teacher are easily absorbed by students to the fullest.With the existence of learning media, students can receive information quickly, so that learning will feel more comfortable and enjoyable.
According to Surakhmand, learning tools in terms of the level of student experience can be divided into three groups, namely tools in the form of real objects.such as tables, markers, whiteboards, replacement objects in the form of imitations such as pictures, spoken and written language.Mustofa classifies language learning media into three types: audio-visual aids (as Samiyah al Bashariyah), activity series groups (majmuatul amal), and practicum (majmuatul mulakhadhah).Meanwhile, Muh Ahmad Salim in Imam Makruf suggested that Arabic learning media that can be used are Language Laboratory; Audio media, such as radio visual media, such as print media, projection media and so on audio-visual media, such as sound films, video and television programmed learning media. 21 Learning media is very important, because it can generate a sense of fun and excitement for students, renew their enthusiasm, create a sense of comfort, increase knowledge, and liven up lessons.The use of media requires movement and work.Thus, whatever the learning material, especially Arabic.Media use is very important.because it 20 Chusna Widyasari, "Media Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Untuk Kemahiran Menulis (Maharah Al-Kitabah)," n.d. 21Wakhidati Nurrohmah Putri, "Pengaruh Media Pembelajaran Terhadap Motivasi Belajar Bahasa Arab Siswa Madrasah Tsanawiyah," LISANIA: Journal of Arabic Education and Literature 1, no. 1 (2017): 1-16.

Definition of Arabic Game
The term language game in Arabic is known as the term ‫اللغوية‬ ‫العاب‬ (Al-Al'abul Lughowiyyah), while in English it is known as Language Games.Language games are competitive activities carried out by students in understanding a language to achieve learning goals.Language games are not only for fun, but are used in learning activities to provide opportunities for students to apply their language skills.
Language games aim to have fun and train students' language skills, which include listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills, writing skills, and literary skills as well as skills in linguistic elements such as vocabulary and grammar.If the game creates fun, but does not acquire language skills or certain elements, then the game is not a language game.Conversely, if an activity aims to practice language skills or certain elements, but there is no fun element, then the activity is not called a language game.Thus, an activity can be called a language game if the activity contains elements of fun and trains language skills. 23 The benefits of language games are:

Crossword puzzles (al-Kalimah al-Mutaqoti'ah) are one of the learning media that can be used in writing skills.A crossword puzzle usually consists of several questions and then small boxes are provided for answers in a horizontal and descending position.This media can be used for all levels, be it beginner, intermediate or advanced, besides that the material can also be selected according to the needs of students.In addition, this media also greatly facilitates the teacher as a teacher. 27 A crossword puzzle is a game where the way to play is to fill in the empty spaces in the form of boxes with letters so that they form a word according to the instructions.
