This research uses qualitative research case study method. The research location is one of the tarbiyah colleges in Bekasi with five participants in semester 4 students. Participants were taken by simple random sampling technique. Data sources were obtained through questionnaires and interviews via whatsapp messages. After the data is collected, it is then analyzed by reducing the data, presenting the data and finally making conclusions. As a result, the author found intrinsic motivation in students related to the ideals / aspirations / desires that exist in themselves, their ability to follow the learning process and their interest in the courses they followed. While their extrinsic motivation is influenced by language elements in related courses, friends around them and teachers who teach. From all the findings obtained, the author found several interesting things to be tried by all students in increasing motivation to learn Arabic, especially Maharah Al-Kalam courses, namely by often watching Arabic videos, and talking to friends and teachers using Arabic even though only a word they were able to. Coupled with teachers who always provide motivation before or after lectures so that student motivation increases. By maximizing the existing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and trying to understand and solve the obstacles experienced during learning yourself, it turns out to be quite effective in increasing self-motivation and the smooth learning process.]]>
