The development of affective characteristics is crucial for learning foreign languages. Among these affective characteristics is motivation, which guarantees a student's interest in the language of instruction and their constant endeavor to acquire it. The main motor for starting and continuing learning a foreign language is motivation. Given its significance, this study aims to identify the motivational barriers that low-motivated students at Imam Hatip middle schools encounter when attempting to acquire Arabic as a foreign language and to provide recommendations for overcoming these barriers. An explanatory sequential mixed research model was used in the study. Students at Imam Hatip middle schools were asked to complete the "Motivation Scale for Learning Arabic" to determine their motivation levels for learning the language and to identify those who lacked it. A semi-structured interview was performed to identify the motivating barriers. The participants of the study were 34 students with “negative” and “very negative” motivation out of 434 students who filled out the scale and 9 Arabic teachers who taught these students. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that students encountered a total of 14 different motivational barriers under internal and external factors. Students' most frequent internal motivational challenges include aimlessness, low self-efficacy beliefs, difficulty in language skills, negative attitudes toward the course and language, and difficulty in cognitive perception. These findings are largely consistent with similar studies in the literature.

Duyuşsal özelliklerin gelişimi, yabancı dil öğreniminde kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu özellikler arasında yer alan motivasyon, öğrencinin öğrenmekte olduğu dile karşı ilgi duymasını ve bu dili edinme sürecinde sürekli çaba göstermesini garanti eden temel etkendir. Yabancı dil öğrenimine başlama ve bu süreci sürdürmede en önemli itici güç, motivasyondur. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın amacı, İmam Hatip ortaokullarında öğrenim gören düşük motivasyonlu öğrencilerin Arapçayı yabancı dil olarak öğrenme sürecinde karşılaştıkları motivasyonel engelleri belirlemek ve bu engellerin aşılmasına yönelik öneriler sunmaktır. Araştırmada açıklayıcı sıralı karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, İmam Hatip ortaokullarında öğrenim gören öğrencilere, Arapçayı öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyon düzeylerini belirlemek ve düşük motivasyona sahip bireyleri tespit edebilmek amacıyla “Arapça Öğrenme Motivasyon Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Motivasyon engellerinin derinlemesine incelenebilmesi amacıyla da yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya, ölçeği dolduran 434 öğrenciden motivasyon düzeyi "olumsuz" ve "çok olumsuz" olarak belirlenen 34 öğrenci ile bu öğrencilere Arapça dersi veren 9 öğretmen katılmıştır. Veri analizleri sonucunda, öğrencilerin hem içsel hem de dışsal faktörlerden kaynaklanan toplam 14 farklı motivasyon engeliyle karşılaştıkları tespit edilmiştir. En sık karşılaşılan içsel motivasyon engelleri arasında amaçsızlık, düşük öz-yeterlik inancı, dil becerilerinde yaşanan güçlükler, derse ve dile karşı geliştirilen olumsuz tutumlar ile bilişsel algıdaki zorluklar öne çıkmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, mevcut literatürde yer alan benzer araştırmalarla büyük ölçüde örtüşmektedir.
