<![CDATA[This research investigates how the pesantren environment shapes students' motivation and attitudes toward learning English and suggests strategies to improve English education in these institutions. The study employed a qualitative approach, involving eight English language teachers from pesantren schools in Cirebon and nearby regions, selected via a distributed teacher data form.The results highlight that students' motivation and attitudes are significantly influenced by institutional support, well-structured programs, and teacher-student collaboration, rather than whether the pesantren is categorized as modern or semi-modern. Pesantrens that foster immersive English environments and implement clear programs show higher levels of student motivation. Conversely, a lack of structured support contributes to disengagement. This study concludes that robust institutional strategies and collaborative efforts are pivotal for advancing English education in pesantren, offering insights into improving religious-based learning contexts.]]>
