Abstract

This research delves into the motivational linguistic elements present in the "Ta’lim Muta’allim" book, a fundamental text in Islamic education. Drawing upon metadiscourse theory, specifically focusing on boosters and engagement markers, the study aims to analyze how these linguistic resources are utilized to motivate and engage students. Through a qualitative approach utilizing corpus linguistics, data from the book's translation is collected and analyzed to identify the frequency and distribution of these elements. The results reveal a significant presence of boosters such as "harus" (should/must) and engagement markers like "jangan" (do not), indicating a strong directive tone and clear behavioral guidelines within the text. The discussion highlights the implications of these findings for student motivation and engagement, emphasizing the importance of linguistic resources in shaping the learning environment. Overall, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language can be used effectively to inspire and guide students in their educational journey.
