Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the subjective experiences and motivational labyrinth of students learning Arabic language at SMP Muhammadiyah 6 Ngawi. Through in-depth interviews with 12 participants and classroom observations, this research investigates how students navigate their motivational journey in Arabic language learning, uncovering the complex interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic factors, challenges, and coping strategies. Using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, four main themes emerged: (1) Religious and Cultural Connectivity (students’ deep connection to Islamic identity and desire to understand religious texts), (2) Academic and Social Pressures (external demands from family, school expectations, and peer influences), (3) Linguistic Complexity and Learning Barriers (challenges in Arabic grammar, pronunciation, and limited practice opportunities), and (4) Adaptive Resilience and Support Systems (strategies students develop to overcome obstacles and maintain motivation). The findings reveal that Arabic language learning motivation is a dynamic, multifaceted phenomenon influenced by students’ religious identity, social environment, and individual learning experiences. These insights contribute to understanding motivation in second language acquisition within Islamic educational contexts and provide implications for pedagogical approaches in Arabic language teaching.

Abstract

This qualitative phenomenological study explores affective experiences of lower-secondary students during Arabic writing (kitabah) learning, identifying triggers of positive and negative emotions and mapping how emotional dynamics shape motivation and learning outcomes. Data collection techniques proposed for field implementation include in-depth interviews with students, analysis of post-lesson reflection journals, and non-participant classroom observations. Synthesis across Arabic education studies highlights that enjoyment, pride, and confidence emerge when tasks are scaffolded, feedback is supportive, and peer collaboration is active, whereas anxiety, frustration, and shame arise from grammatical load, unfamiliar script conventions, monotonous teaching, and low self-efficacy. Emotional states modulate effort, persistence, and performance: reduced anxiety and enhanced self-efficacy correlate with higher engagement and better writing quality, while persistent anxiety depresses attention and recall, undermining outcomes. The study formulates a practical framework integrating supportive climate, iterative practice, multimodal media, and reflective routines to regulate emotion, sustain motivation, and improve kitabah performance. Implications inform teachers, curriculum designers, and school leaders seeking evidence-based, emotionally attuned Arabic writing pedagogy at the junior secondary level.
