This study aims to analyze the difficulties experienced by eighth-grade students in learning Arabic at MTs YPPU Sapak Hulu, Subah District, Sambas Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving Arabic language teachers and students. The findings revealed that students encountered difficulties in several aspects of Arabic learning, including reading (qira’ah), writing (imla’), vocabulary mastery (mufradat), and grammar (qawa’id). These difficulties were influenced by internal factors, such as low learning motivation, limited interest in Arabic, and insufficient language competence, as well as external factors, including conventional teaching methods, limited use of educational technology, and a lack of Arabic language exposure outside the classroom. To overcome these challenges, several strategies were implemented, including providing additional learning guidance, developing instructional materials tailored to students’ abilities, and creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. These efforts are expected to improve students’ Arabic language proficiency and learning outcomes.
