Abstract

This study aims to delve deeper into the understanding of metacognitive
strategies in students’ Arabic writing. Metacognitive strategies in Arabic
writing are crucial because this language is not their mother tongue in their
habits. Moreover, there are substantial differences between sounds and
writing symbols in Arabic that have distinct characteristics compared to
foreign languages, like European languages in particular. Using the non
experimental method, we used 40 samples of mid-year students studying in
the Arabic Language Study Program. They are given instructions to write
an Arabic essay within the allotted time. We tested the data from the
questionnaire using statistical descriptive and Pearson's correlational
techniques. Meanwhile, the results of student essay writing were assessed
according to the criteria of Holly L. Jacob. Through statistical descriptive
tests, it was found that the average use of metacognitive strategies (MS)
was 71.70, while the average essay score (ES) was 80.60. Based on
Pearson's correlation test, it was found that Sig. (2-tailed) MS and ES were
0.078 and Pearson correlation was 0.282. Through these calculations, it
shows that there is no correlation between the x and y variables, positive
correlation values, and weak degrees. Meanwhile, based on the observation
of the assessment results, it shows that there are repeated errors in
organizing, language use, and writing techniques. These findings show that
MS that is good at writing Arabic without adequate writing knowledge will
produce less quality writing. And vice versa, adequate author knowledge
without a good MS will result in less structured and coherent writing.
