The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The management theory referred to is management theory related to quality according to Deming. The results showed that in planning language learning, Mts Al-Musyahadah Cimahi used three program levels, namely short-term programs, semester programs, and annual programs. Based on interviews, observations, and documentation studies at MTs Al-Musyahadah Cimahi and SMP Plus Nurul Aulia Cimahi, it can be concluded that the two institutions apply the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) cycle in language learning management. Learning planning is done by developing detailed plans, including short-term, semester and annual programs. Implementation of learning is carried out according to plans that have been made, using various methods and innovative learning media. Checking learning is done through process and outcome evaluation, with planned monitoring and assessment. Follow-up was carried out to correct the weaknesses found and improve the quality of language learning. This PDCA cycle is effective in achieving continuous improvement in learning.
