This research describe the leveled punishment and symbolic sanctions applied by the language department at Madrasatul Muallimat al-Islamiyah Baitul Arqom Islamic Boarding School in Balung Jember. It employed the qualitative approach and a case study design. Data collected through observation, interviews and documentations, analyzed using Miles and Huberman model. The findings revealed three main results. First, the Language Department implements a leveled punishment system with three categories: minor (1–3 times), moderate (4–6 times), and severe (more 6 times or using a local language). Second, symbolic sanctions include a necklace bearing "المتجوّزات قسم إحياء اللغة" for moderate offenders and a red hijab for severe offenders. Third, the monitoring system is collective, involving the language department and other student organization members. The novelty lies in the accumulation of violations from the start of the languange departement, the combination of symbolic sanctions displayed in public, and the cross-organizational collective monitoring. This study contributes to developing Arabic teaching strategies, particularly implementing a structured and socially charged punishment system in the islamic boarding school environment.
