Abstract

The pamali tradition is part of the local wisdom of the Bugis community, containing various customary prohibitions passed down from generation to generation. This tradition is believed not only to function as a set of restrictions but also as a medium for moral and ethical development within social life. This study aims to identify the forms of pamali traditions that are still practiced by the community, the character education values embedded within them, and the application of pamali values in the lives of Bugis people in Maros Regency. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research instruments include interview guidelines, observation sheets, and documentation records. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was tested using triangulation of techniques, sources, and time. The findings reveal that the Bugis pamali tradition embodies character values such as religiosity, responsibility, discipline, honesty, politeness, and social awareness. The tradition continues to be practiced and transmitted through the roles of traditional leaders, religious figures, parents, and the wider community as a form of cultural preservation as well as character education for younger generations. The values embedded in the pamali tradition align with the principles of national character education and Islamic value perspectives in shaping the morals and personality of the nation’s youth.

Abstract

Background: Reading ability is a foundational literacy skill that plays a crucial role in children’s academic development. One of the key predictors of early reading success is phonological awareness, which refers to the ability to identify and manipulate sound structures in spoken language. Despite its significance, many early-grade learners still experience difficulties in decoding words due to low sensitivity to phonological components. Research Objectives: This study aims to examine the influence of phonological awareness on children’s reading ability and to identify which aspects of phonological awareness most strongly support word recognition and reading fluency at Ummusshabri School, Kolaka. Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive design involving early-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and document review of students’ reading assessments. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns that reflect the relationship between phonological awareness skills and reading performance. Results: The findings show that students with stronger phonological awareness, particularly in phoneme segmentation, blending, and initial sound discrimination—demonstrated more accurate and fluent word reading. Students with limited phonological awareness exhibited difficulties in decoding, frequent mispronunciations, and slower reading rates. Teachers also reported that targeted phonological activities improved students’ reading progress over time. Conclusions: The study concludes that phonological awareness plays a substantial role in shaping early reading ability. Strengthening this skill through structured and engaging phonological instruction is essential for supporting students’ literacy development. Further research may explore intervention models to enhance phonological awareness in diverse classroom contexts.

Abstract

Background: English language proficiency is essential in today’s globalized world, yet students in many developing countries, including Indonesia, exhibit varying levels of language proficiency. This study investigates the relationship between students’ self-perception as language learners and their motivation to learn English, focusing on how learners' beliefs about their abilities affect their engagement in learning activities. Research Objectives: The primary objective of this research is to examine the correlation between students' self-perception and their motivation to learn English. Specifically, it seeks to determine whether students who perceive themselves positively as language learners are more motivated to engage in English learning activities. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was employed, using a survey with two validated instruments: the Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) to measure self-perception, and the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) to assess motivation. The study involved 21 secondary school students from a rural Islamic school in Indonesia. Descriptive statistics, normality tests, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation were used for data analysis. Results: The results revealed a positive but statistically non-significant correlation between self-perception and motivation (r = 0.343, p = 0.128). Students demonstrated moderate self-perception and relatively high motivation levels, with motivation being slightly higher than self-perception. Despite a positive trend, the correlation did not reach statistical significance, suggesting that factors beyond self-perception influence motivation. Conclusions: Although the correlation was not significant, the results suggest that students who perceive themselves positively tend to report higher motivation. These findings imply that fostering learners’ confidence and beliefs in their language ability may be beneficial. Further research with larger and more diverse samples is recommended to validate these results and explore mediating factors.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of memory strategies in vocabulary learning among junior high school EFL learners in an Indonesian Islamic school context. Although vocabulary memorization is commonly emphasized in classroom practice, limited attention has been given to how young learners cognitively process and retain lexical items. This study addresses this gap by examining the types and frequency of memory strategies used by students in a daily “password class” routine, where learners recall English words before entering the classroom. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 21 seventh-grade students. Data were collected using an adapted version of Gu’s (2018) Vocabulary Learning Questionnaire (VLQ 6.4), focusing on three categories of memory strategies: rehearsal, encoding, and activation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis (One-Way ANOVA and Tukey HSD). The findings revealed statistically significant differences among the three strategies (p < .001), with encoding strategies showing the highest mean score (M = 3.70), followed by activation (M = 3.34), and rehearsal strategies (M = 2.89). These results indicate that learners tend to engage more in deeper cognitive processing, such as association, visualization, and contextual use, rather than relying solely on repetition. This study contributes to understanding vocabulary learning strategies among young EFL learners by emphasizing the roles of encoding and activation strategies in vocabulary learning. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that meaningful, communicative activities should complement memorization routines to enhance vocabulary retention and productive language use.

Abstract

This study investigates paraphrasing techniques, quality, and challenges in EFL academic writing among undergraduate students at IAIN Parepare, Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative approach, data were collected from a paraphrasing test and semi-structured interviews involving 19 English Education students. The analysis integrates Pieterick’s framework of paraphrasing strategies, Keck’s taxonomy of paraphrasing quality, and Shi’s model of learner challenges, supported by thematic coding using NVivo 15. The findings reveal that semantic strategies, particularly synonym substitution, are the most dominant technique (42%), indicating students’ reliance on surface-level transformations. In terms of quality, the majority of students (84%) fall into the Moderate Revision category, suggesting partial modification with limited structural and conceptual transformation. The study also identifies linguistic and cognitive challenges as the primary constraints, including limited vocabulary and difficulties in comprehending and reconstructing meaning from source texts. These findings demonstrate that paraphrasing is a complex cognitive-linguistic process shaped by the interaction between language proficiency and higher-order thinking skills. The study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated perspective that links paraphrasing strategies, quality, and learner challenges within a unified analytical framework. Pedagogically, the findings highlight the need for instructional approaches that move beyond synonym substitution toward developing critical reading, vocabulary expansion, and idea restructuring skills to support more effective and original academic writing.
