Abstract: For many years, Arabic language education predominantly relied on the grammar-translation method, which aimed at understanding religious literature; over time, however, it has evolved into methods and techniques that place the communicative dimension of language at the center and seek to develop speaking and comprehension skills.Among the fundamental learning outcomes that support listening, reading, and speaking skills, rich vocabulary knowledge occupies a primary position.Vocabulary repertoire, encompassing both receptive and productive vocabulary-also referred to as passive and active lexical knowledge-plays a critical role in language teaching.Today, the textbooks used in Imam Hatip secondary and high schools, which are among the most widespread institutions for Arabic language education, adopt a communicative language learning approach.In this context, the extent to which vocabulary teaching activities included in the curriculum serve the predetermined objectives has emerged as an important research issue.In the present study, a descriptive analysis method was employed, and the sample consisted of Arabic textbooks used in Imam Hatip secondary schools.During the review process, particular attention was given to vocabulary selection, types of activities, and the ways in which lexical items are presented within context, and the degree to which the textbooks align with the content required by the communicative approach was investigated.The findings reveal that the activities included in the textbooks largely focus on developing receptive vocabulary, whereas activities supporting students' productive vocabulary remain limited.Moreover, the fact that the number of vocabulary items included in the unit-based curriculum exceeds the number of words that students can use productively negatively affects this situation.In order to ensure the communicative language proficiency targeted by the curriculum, it is recommended that greater emphasis be placed on productive vocabulary activities.
