Abstract

 Arabic holds a significant role in Islamic education, particularly at the junior secondary level in faith-based schools. Mastery of the language not only supports students’ linguistic competence but also deepens their understanding of Islamic teachings through religious texts. This exploration of Arabic language teaching practices at SMP Mawaddah, Depok, West Java, reveals various challenges faced by teachers and the strategies employed to overcome them. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Key challenges include low student motivation and interest, limited instructional time, and diverse student backgrounds and proficiency levels. To address these obstacles, teachers implement personalized approaches, utilize simple and contextual learning media, enhance student motivation, and manage time efficiently. These findings offer a clear picture of the dynamics of Arabic language instruction in Islamic-based schools and encourage the adoption of more adaptive and effective teaching strategies.

Abstract

Student motivation for learning Arabic in secondary school appeared low, indicating a discrepancy between the learning objectives of developing communication skills and the teaching methods, which still focused on memorisation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining habituation, memorisation, and vocabulary understanding in shaping positive attitudes among students. The study used a descriptive, qualitative method, observing classes and interviewing Arabic teachers. The results showed that familiarisation through vocabulary media helped students become accustomed to the language, structured memorisation improved memory, and communication exercises provided confidence and a positive attitude. By combining these three strategies, Arabic language learning became more balanced in developing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. This study made theoretical contributions to the development of an integrated Arabic language learning model and offered practical suggestions for educators to create a more contextual and communicative learning environment.
