PROJECT-BASED LEARNING FOR IMPROVING MOTIVATION AND STUDENT'S SPEAKING ABILITY IN ARABIC TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

The challenge faced in Arabic teaching and learning in Indonesian formal schools is the lack of student's motivation to follow this lesson. Their abilities are also limited to theoretical abilities, not yet to the ability of proficiency, especially speaking skill. Various curricula and strategies are presented to solve these issues. One of curriculum that is offered by government is Kurikulum 2013 and one of the learning models offered is a project-based learning model. This learning model allows learners to actively construct their knowledge. It is expected that through this learning model the student's motivation can be improved because they are actively and collaboratively given the opportunity to design the learning in order to solve real problems through a project.
