Abstract

Owing to legislative restrictions, Malaysia cannot provide education for refugee children. Instead, the state invites numerous parties, including NGOs, to construct alternative refugee schools. Because education for refugees is an alternative, the goal is directed at practical skills to help refugees work and integrate with Malaysian society or the following country for future resettlement. All of Malaysia's alternative schools for refugees place a strong emphasis on English language acquisition. Even with free education, refugee children struggle to learn English as a Second Language. Psychological phenomena, such as language anxiety, trigger obstacles in learning English. However, learning about language anxiety in the context of alternative education in Malaysia has rarely been studied. Using the mixed-method methodology (MMR) brings about post-positivism and interpretivism. This study had two goals: (1) bridging research gaps on anxiety in learning English as a second language from the viewpoint of alternative school actors and students in refugee communities, and (2) providing solutions for alternative education for refugee communities in Malaysia to understand and address foreign language anxiety. Our study focuses on refugee students from three alternative schools in Klang Valley: the United Learning Center (ULC), Save School Malaysia, and Refugee Academy. The quantitative technique used 92 students to complete the English Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (ELCAS), derived from the Foreign Language Classroom Scale (FLCAS). In addition, we interviewed two persons and one teacher from each school for the qualitative approach. For data analysis, we used SPSS 19 for a quantitative and interpretive approach to the qualitative data. Qualitative results indicate that refugee children from three Klang Valley alternative schools experienced medium foreign language learning anxiety. Most refugee children were anxious about English courses, regardless of gender or stream group, emphasizing the necessity for educators and other stakeholders to understand refugee children's anxiety levels and take action with extensive knowledge of anxiety and compassion. Counselors must also work with teachers to create interventions to assist refugee children in handling their anxiety while studying English. Finally, instructors must use fascinating teaching approaches to minimize refugee children's anxiety, motivate them with empathy and compassion, and avoid overcorrection.

Abstract

In its implementation, companies providing online food delivery services serve not only as mere delivery service providers. Beyond that, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), this service serves as a platform that offers opportunities for small and medium-scale culinary entrepreneurs to reach a wider audience in introducing and marketing their food products or cuisines. The utilization of the marketing mix by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) operators enables their culinary products to become widely recognized due to the convenience of ordering culinary products through online food delivery services. The data analysis method employed is qualitative descriptive with non-participant observation data collection techniques, where the researcher obtains primary data and secondary data through short interviews and review of various literary sources. The research findings have the potential to contribute knowledge to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by providing insights into marketing strategies that can be adopted by MSMEs to advance their businesses.

Abstract

The emergence of upper middle-class Muslims in Indonesia does display not only religious piety on the one hand but also new consumption patterns on the other. This change in new consumption patterns simultaneously influences Islamic business people to manage their business activities in new ways oriented to market logic. This article discusses the market-based Umroh program in contemporary Indonesia. Based on nethnographic work on social media, this study found that the Umroh business captures economic opportunities from the identity and lifestyle of upper-middle-class Muslims. For middle and upper-class Muslims in Indonesia, pilgrimage to the holy land is a matter of worship and an experience to enjoy other countries, which are their modern identities. Umroh businesses capture this Islamic expression to provide umroh services and tours to visit countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In addition, this Umroh program is massively distributed through their social media channels.

Abstract

This study investigates the childfree decision among urban Muslim youth in Indonesia, focusing on the negotiation between contemporary personal autonomy, patriarchal traditions, and religious expectations. Employing a qualitative methodology centered on discourse analysis, the research utilizes a dual framework of feminist theory and progressive Islamic interpretation. It explores the interaction between feminist ideals of reproductive rights and gender equality and the religious discourses of Indonesia's two largest Islamic organizations, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. The findings indicate that NU adopts a conditional, permissible (mubah) stance on childfree choices when justified by health or economic considerations, whereas Muhammadiyah embraces more progressive, modernist perspective that frames the decision as a matter of social responsibility. From a feminist standpoint, the childfree choice is conceptualized as an assertion of autonomy and resistance to the patriarchal "motherhood imperative." The study identifies substantial tensions between the rights-based discourse of feminism and the permission-based reasoning characteristic of progressive Islam. Nevertheless, it also identifies opportunities for alignment through reinterpretive strategies that foreground Islamic principles of public interest (maslahah) and the prohibition of coercion. The research concludes that fostering dialogue between feminist hermeneutics and progressive Islamic thought can promote a more inclusive understanding of family and personal choice, thereby reconciling religious faith with the evolving realities faced by urban Muslim youth in Indonesia.
