Abstract

The existing Islamic religious education curriculum shows a clear separation between subjects like Al-Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, Aqidah, and the history of Islamic culture. Full integration of these elements is lacking, but it has the potential to improve students' religious experiences by providing comprehensive support for worship. Madrasah institutions face challenges related to ownership, environment, and teachers adapting to technological advancements in the current era. This study aims to explore how PAI (Islamic Religious Education) teachers implement innovative approaches in madrasahs. Employing a qualitative research design with a literature review methodology, information was gathered from various regulations, books, and magazines. We opted for a qualitative approach to explore innovative curriculum changes that can improve the quality of millennial-era madrasahs with Islamic characteristics. The literature review exposed a predominant focus on subject-centric designs influenced by teachers and infrastructure in constructing Islamic religious education curricula in madrasahs. In response, a proposed ideal model emphasizes an integrated learning approach tailored for the millennium era. This model strives to enhance Islamic language skills through integration. The study concludes by underlining key themes: innovation, curriculum development, Islamic religious education, madrasah, and the era of Society 5.0.

The results demonstrated that the spinning wheel media could be used in vocabulary classrooms since it can engage learners, boost their enthusiasm, and improve their vocabulary.

Speaking is a practical skill and serves as a crucial indicator of one's proficiency in English. Generally, an individual is considered to have a strong command of the English language if they can effectively communicate verbally. Mastery of speaking skills is particularly challenging, as it necessitates consistent practice. To address the challenges faced by students in developing their English speaking abilities, researchers implemented the English-Speaking Practice (ESP) application as a resource for facilitating English conversation. This study aimed to enhance students' speaking skills across various dimensions, including pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Employing a participatory action research methodology, data was gathered through observations, interviews, and assessments. The findings indicated that the ESP application, featuring a "Listen, Quiz, Practice, and Record" function, successfully improved speaking abilities, as evidenced by an increase in scores across four evaluated sections: 58.55, 64.73, 70.18, and 78.18, respectively.
