Abstract

As well as other learning process, the successful Arabic learning can be achieved through several steps. This study aims to explain those steps, and it uses library research. Method of this study covers finding data and sources related to the contrastive analysis in Arabic learning; analyzing the data as well as the sources; and drawing conclusion. The approach used in the learning process can be categorized as a learning difficult foreign language, if it is considered as the perspective in understanding the material. The difficult language is particularly the one that has different systems/subsystems with mother tongue. On the other hand, if the approach is considered as a belief, the successful key to achieve is the use of contrastive analysis. We have to work hard to overcome students' learning difficulties by doing contrastive approach and analysis firstly. However, the most significant part is the goal using contrastive analysis. As the result of this study, hopefully learning Arabic occurs progressively, and absolutely the teaching materials and learning steps need teachers’ ability in mastering the contrasted languages. That is the main factor in achieving the learning to be developed further in using this approach.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Language learning is a long life activity as the result of the learners‟ emergent necessary in mastering foreign language. Motivation is considered significant in its role in language learning success Along this line of thoughts, students‟ motivation toward English language learning can, to a certain degree, influence their learning results.. Contrastive analysis is known amongst linguists and educationist as a study used to predict the errors language learners may make in the second language production. They mostly agree that it is systematic study of a pair of languages with a view to identifying their structural differences and similarities.. Keshavarz in Ghasemi defined contrastive analysis (CA) as "the systematic study of a pair of languages in order to identify their structural differences and similarities, usually for translation and teaching purposes. There were finding data and sources related to the contrastive analysis in Arabic learning, analyzing the data as well as the sources, and drawing conclusion

AND DISCUSSION Definition of Contrastive Analysis

Determining the mistake of the second or foreign language learners
