Reducing Speaking Anxiety Through Community Language Learning (Cll): A Qualitative Inquiry Into Arabic Speaking Self-Efficacy at Mak al-Hikmah 2 Benda, Brebes
Abstract
His study investigates how Community Language Learning (CLL) enhances students’ Arabic-speaking self-efficacy at MAK Al Hikmah 2 Benda Brebes. It uses a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and student reflections. These methods explored both the challenges learners faced and the changes that occurred during the intervention. Findings reveal that students initially struggled with significant speaking anxiety, fear of making mistakes, and strong dependence on the teacher. When CLL was introduced, notable improvements appeared. Anxiety decreased, willingness to participate increased, peer collaboration strengthened, and autonomous speech developed gradually. These results align with Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and studies highlighting the value of humanistic learning frameworks. The study concludes that CLL is a promising approach for strengthening speaking confidence in Arabic classrooms. Its practical implications suggest that emotionally supportive, community-based instruction can meaningfully improve learners’ communicative performance
