Malay Language Teaching Strategies and their Impact on Students' Psychological Development

This study explores various teaching strategies for the Malay language and their impact on students' psychological development. In modern education, effective teaching methods play a crucial role in enhancing students’ interest, motivation, and overall emotional and social well-being. Therefore, this study examines key approaches such as student-centered learning, interactive methods, online learning, and the integration of digital technology in teaching. Findings indicate that strategies such as student-centered learning and interactive methods, including collaborative learning and language games, enhance students’ confidence and comprehension. These approaches create a more dynamic and engaging learning experience. Additionally, online learning, which incorporates digital materials and interactive applications, helps boost students’ intrinsic motivation while allowing for more flexible self-paced learning. The study also reveals that teaching strategies affect not only academic performance but also students’ psychological well-being. Methods that consider psychological factors can reduce academic stress, enhance self-confidence, and foster a positive attitude toward learning. Therefore, educators should adopt teaching strategies that align with technological advancements and students' psychological needs. A balanced approach will ensure that Malay language learning becomes more effective, engaging, and of high quality.
