“Teach my son by praising him (appreciating) and speaking softly to him. He is not the type of person that should be trained under punishment or abuse.

For adults: motivation is directly related to attrition rates, because while students may have the initial impetus to take up study, this needs to be sustained.
With young Muslims, if we demotivate them we RISK disengaging them from Arabic and consequently their overall relationship with the religious texts. Dörnyei, Z. (2001). Motivational strategies in the language classroom. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
