Abstract

Naming patterns in Indonesia have shown the influence of geographical, social, and cultural factors on toponymy. Place naming in Aceh, a province in the country, has been based on the genesis and generic patterns that indicate specific objects, historical reasons, and word-forming elements. This study explores the dominant naming patterns found in the West Aceh and Nagan Raya regions by analyzing data sourced from regional databases, government archives, and the SIGAP (Sistem Informasi Gampong-Village Information System). A total of 131 place names from 29 villages were examined through literature review and document analysis as primary and secondary data sources. Thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) framework, was employed to systematically identify recurring linguistic patterns. The results revealed nine dominant naming patterns in these regions, demonstrating a combination of different elements such as alue [aluə] ‘ditch’, blang [blaŋ] ‘rice field’, pasi [pasi] ‘beach’, suak [suaʔ] ‘estuary’, cöt [cət] ‘highland’, often combined with nouns or adjectives. This study illustrates how place names convey linguistic structures and geographical narratives that present Aceh's interconnection between language, landscape, and cultural identity. The findings contribute to broader discussions on the role of toponyms in preserving local knowledge and shaping regional identity.

Abstract

While previous studies have examined formative assessment in various contexts, limited attention has been given to how English teachers in Indonesia’s “Emancipated Curriculum” interpret and implement it within sociocultural frameworks. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore the beliefs of two English teachers at a non-mover school in Banda Aceh through the lens of Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Black and Wiliam’s formative assessment framework. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings revealed two contrasting belief orientations shaped by teaching experience and institutional support. The experienced teacher demonstrated a strong understanding of formative assessment grounded in sociocultural principles such as scaffolding and feedback within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Conversely, the novice teacher perceived assessment mainly as a tool for measuring performance, showing limited engagement in interactive or collaborative practices. Both acknowledged the importance of formative assessment but faced barriers related to time, resources, and training. The study highlights the influence of sociocultural factors on teacher beliefs and calls for continuous professional development and digital integration to foster equitable and effective learning environments.

Abstract

There have been many studies on first language interference towards learners’ second or foreign language learning, but not many on the otherwise. This study investigates the effects of learning Japanese as a foreign language towards learners’ first language use, Indonesian. The data for this qualitative study were obtained from five Japanese learners who had different backgrounds of Japanese learning. Observation and interview were used as the research instruments to collect the data in this study. The results were found that the learners showed foreign language effects; grammatical aspects and borrowing. In short, learning a foreign language (FL) influences learners’ first language (L1), which means that learning Japanese language had affected the learners’ first language, Indonesian. It can be concluded that learning a second or foreign language may interfere a learner’s first language.

Abstract

This research showed the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Aceh who struggle in learning English writing as they had a lack of interest in it. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to find out in what ways Facebook Group facilitate the enjoyment of the students in learning this skill. Data were collected using interviews and analyzed through thematic analysis. Ten students from UIN Ar-Raniry were purposely chosen for the interviews that was done one by one at a time. The research findings show that there are four themes causing participants enjoyment of the learning writing in the group: (1) it provides unlimited timing; (2) it facilitates the participants’ freedom and creativity; (3) it provides the interactive feedback; and (4) it helps them in brainstorming the ideas. These four themes directly enhance the students’ situational interest in learning writing related to an environmental factor, but it results in the development of their individual interest. This research suggests that the teacher should combine the learning process in the classroom with the Facebook group media to fasten the enhancement of the learners’ writing skills. For the learners, it is suggested that they should utilize their social media such as Facebook group not only as their communication media but also for developing their learning in writing.
