Abstract

This article explores learning experiences and Arabic speaking anxiety by Arabic Students at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University. This study aimed to map the SRL strategy used by Arabic students to overcome speaking anxiety. The method used is qualitative research with ten interview participants from final year students selected purposively and volunteering. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The results showed that they used fourteen strategies which were categorized into five main strategies: 1) Cognitive, including notes-taking, speaking practice, collecting vocabulary, listening, and memorizing; 2) Metacognitive, including preparation, monitoring, and evaluation; 3) Affective, including relaxation and suggestion; 4) Motivation, including environment, watching videos and taking training; and 5) Social, seek-peers. Cognitive, affective, and social deal with physical problems. In contrast, metacognitive is used to maintain rhythmic cognitive strategy, and motivation is applied outside speaking tasks.
