The results of this study concluded that the learning process in Islamic boarding schools was good in improving students' istima' skills.  This can be described since before entering class the teacher has prepared the material to be delivered and arranges giving assignments to the students starting from the students writing in their respective notebooks the important points that have been learned that day, the media used are visual and audio and The curriculum used is the independent curriculum. By using visual and audio media, it is more interesting for students to take part in istima skills learning in that class.
