Acquiring a second language needs several linguistic factors such as the environment and language activities. This article aims to describe the process of acquiring Arabic Language based on Skinner’s theory in Darussalam Gontor the second campus for girls. This research is qualitative research using three methods to collect data; observation, interview, and written documents. And for the data analysis used the Miles and Huberman method including data collection, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The researcher concluded (1) the language activities and the language environment in this institute stimulated and supported Skinner's language acquisition process which is held with a strict system, so then the students are accustomed to using Arabic. (2) The linguistic activities in this institute that match Skinner’s theory are many, such as the morning conversation, the evening supplementary subject, theatrical representation, and others. From here, it appeared that the acquisition of the Arabic in this institute is identical to Skinner's theory. The researcher suggests this research can give some additional thought to Arabic Teaching as the second language in other Islamic Institutions by adopting examples from several language exercises in this article that match with Skinner's theory for building the Arabic language system in each institution.
