Peningkatan Motivasi Belajar Bahasa Arab melalui Pendekatan Pembelajaran Kreatif dan Menyenangkan di TPA Qurrata A'yun Kota Makassar

Arabic language learning in Qur'anic educational institutions offers considerable opportunities for developing basic language competencies while fostering students' interest in Arabic as the language of the Qur'an. Common challenges in teaching Arabic to young learners include low learning motivation, limited vocabulary acquisition, and instructional practices that have not fully utilized creative learning media and activities. This community service program is designed to improve students' motivation to learn Arabic through creative and enjoyable learning approaches at TPA Qurrata A'yun, Makassar City. The proposed approach integrates educational games, picture cards, songs, contextual vocabulary introduction based on students' surroundings, and simple conversational practices. The program is organized into several stages: needs identification, program planning, instructional media development, learning assistance, and evaluation. The indicators of success include students' interest in participating in lessons, active engagement, confidence in pronouncing Arabic vocabulary, ability to recognize mufradat, and participation in group activities. This approach is expected to create a more interactive, contextual, and developmentally appropriate learning experience. The article proposes a practical model of Arabic language learning assistance that can be adapted by non-formal religious educational institutions to foster learning motivation and basic Arabic language competencies.
