Abstract

English language proficiency plays an increasingly important role in supporting the quality of secondary education, including within Islamic-based schools that emphasize the integration of academic excellence and religious values. SMA Sains Tahfidz Qur’an Al-Ammar Deli Serdang, as a Tahfidz-oriented institution, faces specific challenges in English instruction, particularly in developing spoken dialogues that are both communicative and aligned with Islamic contexts. Many teachers experience limitations in designing and implementing English dialogue activities that reflect religious practices and everyday school life. In response to this condition, a community service program was conducted to provide Islamic-based English dialogue training for teachers. The main objective of this program was to enhance teachers’ understanding, pedagogical insight, and readiness to develop and apply communicative English dialogues that are contextually relevant to Islamic educational settings. The program involved teachers of SMA Sains Tahfidz Qur’an Al-Ammar Deli Serdang as active partners throughout all stages of the activity. The implementation method included needs analysis, training material development, workshop-based training sessions, mentoring, and evaluation. Program outcomes were assessed using a quantitative approach through pre-test and post-test instruments, as well as qualitative methods such as observation and participant reflection. The findings indicate a noticeable improvement in teachers’ conceptual understanding of Islamic-based English dialogues, increased confidence in using spoken English, and greater preparedness to implement meaningful dialogue-based instruction in the classroom. Overall, this community service activity contributed positively to strengthening the quality and relevance of English language learning in an Islamic school context.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the ecranisation process of intrinsic elements, including plot, characters, and settings, from the novel "Cinta dalam Ikhlas" (2017) by Kang Abay into its film adaptation (2024) directed by Fajar Bustomi. The method employed is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques. The ecranisation theory used covers three main processes: reduction (shrinkage), expansion (addition), and variation change. The results show that in the plot aspect, there is a reduction in the main character's middle school memories and a variation change in the exam announcement medium from newspapers to online systems. In the character aspect, there is a reduction in the number of the main character's siblings and the removal of several supporting characters. Meanwhile, in the setting aspect, visual adjustments were made to support the dramatization of the story on the big screen. In conclusion, the transformation from novel to film underwent various significant changes to adapt to the duration and aesthetics of audio-visual media without losing the essence of the religious message in the story.

Abstract

This study examines the use of metaphor in Leony Jardine’s poetry collection The Moon and Her Secrets. The research focuses on how metaphors—particularly structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors as conceptualized by Lakoff and Johnson (2003)—are employed to reflect psychological conflicts, emotional depth, and identity struggles. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes selected poems through close reading, supported by Conceptual Metaphor Theory and a psychological literary approach. The findings reveal that Jardine consistently employs the moon as a central metaphor representing secrecy, vulnerability, and transformation. Ontological metaphors dominate, presenting emotions as concrete entities and allowing abstract experiences to be visualized. These results emphasize that Jardine’s poetry transforms metaphor into a primary medium for exploring inner conflict and self-discovery.

Abstract

This research explores how interpersonal meaning is constructed in the Islamic speeches of Zakir Naik by applying the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Within the context of ‘dakwah’, language operates not only as a channel for delivering religious knowledge but also as an interactive resource through which speakers establish authority, express conviction, and engage their audiences. As an internationally recognized Islamic preacher, Zakir Naik employs distinctive linguistic strategies that warrant systematic linguistic investigation. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach and examines selected transcripts of Zakir Naik’s public speeches. Analysis is conducted using the interpersonal metafunction of SFL, focusing specifically on the grammatical systems of mood. The clause is treated as the main unit of analysis, as it represents the primary locus of interpersonal meaning. Each clause is categorized based on its mood type. The result is declarative clauses are predominantly used, indicating a strong tendency toward asserting information and reinforcing religious authority.
