Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing Arabic creative writing skills among eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Mukhtariyah Tasikmalaya. Employing a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, the research integrated systematic planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Students’ creative writing performance was assessed using an analytic writing rubric covering idea development, linguistic accuracy, creativity, and text organization. The findings reveal a notable improvement in students’ writing competence, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 59.28 in the first cycle to 70 in the second cycle, accompanied by a rise in learning mastery from 52.38% to 71.43%. Beyond quantitative gains, the PBL model fostered higher learner engagement, collaboration, and creative expression in Arabic writing tasks. This research contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by providing empirical evidence on the pedagogical value of PBL at the lower secondary level and highlights its potential as an instructional alternative for developing creative writing skills. Practically, the findings underscore the importance of teacher-designed project activities in facilitating meaningful and student-centered Arabic writing instruction.

Abstract

Indonesian students pursuing Arabic studies in Saudi Arabia often face a significant decline in learning motivation during their first year due to culture shock, language barriers, and academic pressure. This phenomenon represents a complex inner journey of adaptation that has not been deeply explored within the specific context of the University of Tabuk. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Arabic learning motivation among newly enrolled Indonesian students at the University of Tabuk during their first academic year. It seeks to describe the dynamic shifts in motivation and identify the internal and external factors influencing these changes. Employing a descriptive qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using a phenomenological analysis model to identify significant themes regarding the participants' lived experiences. The results reveal a dynamic trajectory where motivation initially surges due to religious and academic idealism, declines caused by adaptation challenges, and eventually restabilizes through a shift toward intrinsic motivation. Key factors facilitating this resilience include a supportive academic environment, the integration of spiritual values (ibadah), social connectedness, and the utilization of technology for independent learning. This research offers novelty by identifying spiritual values as a unique primary anchor for resilience, distinguishing Indonesian students from general international students who rely mostly on academic integration. The study suggests that future research employ longitudinal approaches over the full four-year program and comparative studies across other Middle Eastern universities to validate whether the "Tabuk experience" is a regional phenomenon.
