ABSTRACT: Arabic language has been taught in Malaysian primary
schools since 2005 and now, this language already spreads and reaches the non-Malay pupils
including Bidayuh pupils. As for Bidayuh,
this language is their foreign language whereby it took about their fifth place
after their mother-tongue and other languages such as English and Bahasa Melayu
Sarawak. By that, clearly it is a tough
work to do for the teacher to teach this language. This paper will discuss
qualitatively what are the challenges faced by the teacher to teach the
Bidayuh’s pupils Arabic. It is found that there are seven challenges that the
teacher needs to resolve. This paper also seeks and highlights the reasons why
it happens and suggests several solutions that relevant for the teacher to
apply in order to make the lesson more interesting so the pupils are more excited
to learn.
