Abstract

The MSMEs-based halal industry is one of the sources that should be taken into account to be developed. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review and analysis of the halal industry and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in their efforts to maintain economic resilience during a Covid 19 pandemic. This analysis focuses on theoretical, established and empirical reviews that focus on the halal industry as a new fiscal source. This study uses a literature study review approach for the halal industry from various literature on the halal industry and MSMEs from Indonesia and overseas. The literature is also limited to the publication of 2015-2020. The findings of this study are that halal industry is the newest source of Islamic economics that can be relied on in raising the country's fiscal. Of course, it is intended for poverty alleviation, distribution of consumption, public service media and other relevant instruments. However, the halal industry integration system can become a "new engine" in economic fundamentals that needs synergy and support from various parties from the government, SMEs, and private sector so that the real issues and conditions for economic recovery amid the pandemic can be better.

Abstract

This conceptual study aims to investigate the synergistic roles of zakat and taxation as fiscal instruments to promote equitable income distribution and foster economic growth within the framework of Islamic economics. Grounded in descriptive qualitative analysis and literature review, the research outlines how zakat and tax policies can be integrated to form a more just and sustainable fiscal structure. While taxes are recognized as essential for state financing and macroeconomic stabilization, zakat—though traditionally religious in nature—emerges as a viable counter-cyclical tool to support poverty alleviation, enhance purchasing power, and drive inclusive development. The study highlights the distinct yet complementary characteristics of zakat and taxes, emphasizing their potential to correct wealth disparities and stimulate productive investment through multiplier effects. By embedding Islamic moral values such as moderation, social justice, and prohibition of usury, this research offers an alternative paradigm for fiscal governance. The study contributes to global economic scholarship by presenting a faith-based fiscal model that may inform public finance policies in Muslim-majority countries and beyond. Future research is recommended to develop empirical models that quantify the macroeconomic impacts of zakat-tax integration and explore its application in diverse economic contexts.

Abstract

This research has several objectives, namely: (1) to know Science in the perspective of Islamic philosophy; (2) to know science in the perspective of the Qur'an; (3) to know science in the Western perspective. The method used to explore this uses a literature study method with qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study are three, namely (1) The characteristics of Islamic epistemology about science are belief in spiritual power, having a harmonious relationship between reason and revelation, interdependence of reason and intuition, Theocentric orientation, and associated Values Development; (2) science in the perspective of the Qur'an is illustrated in Q.S Imran : 190 and Al-Baqarah: 29; (3) Epistemology in the Western view suggests that the concept of science is based on logical principles, hypothesis generation, and verification process. There are three theories of truth, namely coherent truth theory, correspondence theory, pragmatic truth theory. In addition, there are material objects and formal objects in science. The contribution of this research describes how truth can be explained in various perspectives so that the truth becomes scientific.

Abstract

Reading proficiency is crucial for academic success, yet many university students, including those at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, struggle with comprehension due to limited vocabulary, lack of critical thinking, low motivation, and traditional teaching methods; thus, innovative strategies like visual media are needed to foster interest and improve reading skills. One such medium, the wall magazine, has shown promise in primary education but remains underexplored in higher education, prompting this study to evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing students’ reading abilities and to provide insights for more engaging and interactive pedagogical approaches. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with purposive sampling, involving 39 second-semester English Education students at Yogyakarta State University and several key informants to explore the effectiveness of wall magazine media in enhancing reading skills. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques with triangulation strategies to ensure validity and credibility. This study confirms that wall magazine media effectively enhances reading skills by increasing student motivation, comprehension, and engagement. The project-based and collaborative nature of the media fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a sense of ownership in learning. While students and lecturers responded positively, improvements in content updates and display logistics are still needed. Therefore, integrating wall magazine projects into the curriculum offers a sustainable, student-centered approach to developing literacy and 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study explores the levels and dimensions of foreign language anxiety (FLA) among vocational high school (VHC) students in Gresik, Indonesia, consisting on communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive survey design, data were collected from 220 students using the FLCAS. The findings indicate a moderate overall level of FLA (M = 3.08), with fear of negative evaluation being the most prominent dimension (M = 3.19), suggesting that students are particularly concerned about being judged by peers and teachers when using English. Communication apprehension (M = 3.06) and test anxiety (M = 3.03) also contribute to students' anxiety levels, impacting their engagement and performance in English learning. The study highlights the need for pedagogical strategies that address these anxiety dimensions, such as fostering a supportive classroom environment, implementing collaborative learning, and utilizing alternative assessment methods. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the emotional factors influencing language learning, particularly in vocational education contexts, and call for further research to explore diverse student experiences and employ mixed-methods approaches.

Abstract

This study investigates how English for Specific Purposes ESP learners’ view on the importance of the four macro-skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening in professional and business settings among Indonesian university learners. Despite widespread recognition of English as a key medium in global workplaces, empirical evidence regarding students’ prioritisation of these skills remains limited, particularly in Indonesia. A quantitative survey was conducted among 47 university learners enrolled in ESP programs employing a structured questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale to capture perceptions across the four skill areas. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the questionnaire had been reviewed through expert validation to ensure content appropriateness. Descriptive statistical analyses showed that reading had the highest mean score (3.553), followed by speaking (3.547), writing (3.542), and listening (3.516), indicating consistently high perceived importance across all four macro skills. The findings underscore the need for ESP curricula to integrate all four skills and cohesively align instructional practices with workplace expectations. This study contributes to the literature by providing a holistic view of learners' views on English macro-skill importance and offers practical implications for curriculum designers and educators seeking to enhance learners’ readiness for global professional communication.

Abstract

Language learning has become increasingly effective with the support of artificial intelligence, particularly in English language learning contexts. This study aims to explore how English as a Foreign Language learners utilize artificial intelligence to support personalized learning and to examine their perceptions of this technology. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, beginning with quantitative data collection followed by qualitative exploration. Quantitative data were collected through a structured questionnaire involving 200 undergraduate learners from the English Education Department of a public university in Indonesia, while qualitative data were obtained through semi structured interviews with 10 selected participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence features such as real time feedback, adaptive content, voice recognition, and gamified tasks contribute to improvements in learners’ writing, reading, speaking, and listening skills. In addition, artificial intelligence provides interactive and accessible learning support that allows learners to engage flexibly in personalized learning. However, limitations related to meaningful interaction and contextual understanding remain challenges when artificial intelligence is not used judiciously.

Abstract

English speaking fluency plays a crucial role in supporting students’ academic achievement and global employability. However, many learners continue to struggle with spoken English despite years of formal instruction. This study investigates key factors influencing speaking fluency among university students in the Indonesian higher education context, focusing on personal attributes, cultural and social influences, and pedagogical practices. A mixed-methods approach was used, with data collected through questionnaires from 105 students and semi-structured interviews with 10 participants. The findings indicate that psychological barriers, such as anxiety and lack of confidence, are significant obstacles to speaking fluency. Additionally, limited exposure to authentic English practice and teacher-centered pedagogical approaches contribute to the challenges faced by students. However, the study also highlights positive factors that enhance fluency, such as interactive teaching strategies, vocabulary development, and the provision of constructive feedback. These elements were found to significantly improve students’ fluency and boost their confidence in speaking. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of peer interaction, supportive learning environments, and the integration of technological tools in promoting speaking proficiency. The results suggest that these factors play a critical role in developing students’ communicative competence. Based on these findings, the study offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions to address students’ specific challenges and improve their English speaking skills in the context of Indonesian higher education. Keywords: speaking fluency, psychological barriers, interactive teaching, higher education, language learning strategies.

Abstract

This study investigates learners’ use of the mother tongue in English for Specific Purposes classrooms and examines students’ perceptions of lecturers’ use of the mother tongue as part of instructional practice. Drawing on a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 66 students enrolled in ESP courses at a public university in Indonesia. The participants, drawn from several intact classes, completed an online questionnaire adapted from an established instrument and contextualized to the Indonesian setting. The questionnaire explored the frequency and functions of students’ mother tongue use as well as their evaluations of teachers’ use of the mother tongue in explaining vocabulary, grammar, instructions, and discipline related content. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages. The findings indicate that learners do not rely on their first language indiscriminately but use it selectively to support comprehension, peer collaboration, and expressive clarity in cognitively demanding situations. In addition, students perceive lecturers’ use of the mother tongue as pedagogically appropriate when it serves specific instructional purposes, particularly in clarifying technical terminology and complex professional concepts. English remains recognized as the primary medium of instruction, while the mother tongue functions as a supportive resource. These findings provide empirical support for a balanced and context sensitive approach to mother tongue use in ESP instruction and contribute to ongoing discussions on multilingual practices in higher education. The study is limited by the use of convenience sampling, the relatively small sample size, and reliance on self-reported questionnaire data, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
