This study aims to analyze the relationship between Generation Z’s digital habits and students’ interest in learning Arabic at Madrasah Aliyah. The study employs a mixed-methods approach with an embedded design, focusing primarily on qualitative data supplemented by quantitative data. The results indicate that students’ digital habits are characterized by high device usage intensity, a predominance of visual content consumption, and a tendency toward entertainment-oriented digital media use. On the other hand, students’ interest in Arabic tends to fluctuate and is influenced by perceptions of difficulty as well as low exposure within the digital environment. Findings also indicate that exposure to visually packaged and engaging Arabic-language content can enhance learning interest, albeit in a situational manner. Conceptually, the relationship between digital habits and learning interest is not linear but is mediated by content quality, presentation format, and the learning context.
