Abstract

This study investigated the role of the Naqshbandiyya al-Waliyya Ṭarīqa in promoting religious moderation among the students of Dayah Mudi Mesra Samalanga, Aceh. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research aimed to understand how the teachings and spiritual practices of TNW shape a tolerant and balanced religious environment. The findings indicate that TNW’s practices significantly contribute to transforming the students’ attitudes from exclusive to inclusive and tolerant, characterized by high levels of social solidarity and openness towards others, regardless of their religious or ethnic backgrounds. The leadership of Abu Mudi as TNW’s murshid significantly contributes to instilling values of moderation. This study offers a new perspective on the interaction between Sufi rites and the promotion of religious moderation, a topic rarely discussed in previous literature, enriching the discourse on the role of Islamic spiritual movements in fostering peace and tolerance in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

Despite the critical role of personality in academic success, schools frequently overlook the unique needs of introverted students in EFL classrooms, where tailored instructional strategies can significantly improve their engagement and understanding. This study builds on prior research that primarily examined speaking instructions, highlighting the overlooked instances of introversion in various skill-specific classrooms. It examined the pedagogical strategies employed by teachers in a classroom with introverted EFL learner minority. The primary objective of this study is to identify the challenges faced by the teachers, the various strategies they employed to accommodate the unique learning needs of introverted EFL learners in the context of English language learning, as well as the effectiveness of the strategies from the perspectives of the teachers. Employing a qualitative research design, this study utilized purposive sampling to select the participants and collected the data through interviews with three English teachers at MTsN 1 Mandailing Natal. The findings revealed that during the instructional process, the teachers encountered several challenges in effectively engaging with introverted learners, which include the introvert EFL learners’ lack of interest in engaging in the class activities and their limited mastery of vocabulary. The findings also disclosed a set of strategies that can support introverted learners, including modeling, small-group discussions, game-based instruction, autonomous study, and peer teaching. All participants expressed positive perceptions regarding their learners’ experiences teaching introverted learners, suggesting the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing the motivation of introverted learners and achieving educational objectives. The study highlights the imperativeness for educators to thoughtfully consider diverse characteristics of introverted students to foster their motivation within the classroom environment by exerting considerable effort to stimulate engagement from introverted EFL learners within the classroom setting.

Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to gain insights into migrants’ adaptation processes, identity formation, and integration into the local community. The study examines migration through three stages: emigration (push and pull factors), physical migration (adaptation challenges and cultural resilience), and immigration (integration and identity negotiation). Findings reveal that Minangkabau migrants utilize various strategies, including social engagement, cultural adaptation, and the use of social networks, allowing them to maintain their cultural identity while fostering harmonious relationships in their new environment. This research highlights the significance of intercultural communication in ensuring successful migration and social integration.

Abstract

This study investigates gender-based differences in students’ preferences and experiences with interactive quiz platforms Quizizz and Kahoot among English Tadris students at STAIN Mandailing Natal. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved 30 participants, equally divided by gender (15 male and 15 female students), selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis, then analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework. Four primary themes guided the analysis: ease of use, technical and accessibility features, learning motivation, and material comprehension. Findings indicate that while both male and female students preferred Quizizz for its intuitive design and support for self-paced learning, notable gender differences emerged in motivation and usage patterns. Male students favored Kahoot due to its competitive features, such as real-time leaderboards and time-bound questions, which enhanced engagement and fostered a stimulating classroom environment. Conversely, female students valued Quizizz’s calm, flexible learning experience, which minimized anxiety and allowed for deeper understanding through repeated practice and instant feedback. The results suggest that gender plays a critical role in shaping students’ engagement with educational technologies, particularly those that integrate gamification elements. The study highlights the importance of aligning technological tools with learners’ individual preferences to optimize engagement and learning outcomes. Practical implications point to the need for more inclusive and adaptive instructional strategies when integrating digital platforms in EFL settings. Future research is recommended to explore larger samples and diverse educational contexts for broader generalizability.

Abstract

Legal literacy is a fundamental aspect in forming a society that is aware of the law and able to exercise rights and obligations in a balanced manner. Unfortunately, the level of legal literacy in the Mandailing Natal region is still relatively low, as seen from the lack of public understanding of actual legal issues, especially legal practices related to social and religious life during the month of Ramadan. This community service activity aims to improve community legal literacy through the Bincang Hukum program organized by the Nayottama Reswara Legal Aid Foundation. The activity was held on March 17, 2025 at Dilan Coffee, Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal, involving 23 participants from lecturers, legal practitioners, students, and the general public. Evaluation through pre-test and post-test showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of the legal material presented. In-depth interviews and observations showed that the interactive dialog method and contextual presentation of materials were able to encourage active community participation. These findings suggest that an educative approach based on public discussion can be an effective model in increasing community legal awareness. This program also contributes to strengthening the role of universities and legal aid institutions in legal literacy-based community empowerment.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the level of foreign language anxiety (FLA) experienced by senior-high-school English language learners (ELLs) and to explore plausible factors that contribute to the learners’ anxiety. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, involving thirty-four twelfth-grade ELLs from SMA 4 Banda Aceh, Indonesia, as participants. In gathering the data, Horwitz et al.'s (1986) Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and semi-structured interview were used as instruments. The findings revealed that the majority of the ELLs were at a moderate level of anxiety, with more than half of them being at “Mildly Anxious” level and with no “Very Anxious” learners. The findings also indicated that the ELLs’ FLA was caused not only by teacher factors but also student factors. The teacher factors include oral presentation task, incomprehensible input, and teachers’ attitude, while student factors comprise learners’ fear of being laughed at, their’ beliefs about L2, and lack of preparation.

Abstract

Abstract. Movies are a reflection of real-life phenomena, including the language phenomenon. Therefore, using the movie from Disney “Moana”, this research analyzes expressive illocutionary acts. As part of the broader speech act theory, expressive acts convey the speaker's psychological state, such as apologizing, thanking, congratulating, wishing, greeting, and expressing attitudes. This study is a descriptive qualitative study through content analysis, using Moana’s movie script as the primary data source. Data were collected through viewing, note-taking, classification, and analysis. Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model and lexical analysis via AntConc were the primary data analysis methods. The findings reveal that four types of illocutionary acts appear in the film—expressive, commissive, directive, and representative—while declarative acts are absent. Among 559 illocutionary utterances identified, 34% (190) were expressive. "Attitude" is the most frequent (65%) expressive act, and "wishing" is the least (2%). Expressive acts in all types, except wishing, appeared in both direct and indirect forms, often reflecting complex social roles and intentions. Lexical analysis showed that expressive utterances predominantly used common and grammatically relevant vocabulary, suggesting the film's potential as a practical teaching resource, especially for children. Overall, this study not only deepens the understanding of expressive illocutionary acts in animated films but also highlights their relevance in language education contexts.Keyword: Speech Acts, Expressive Illocutionary Acts, Movies, Word Types

Abstract

Grammatical accuracy remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners, particularly in descriptive writing, which demands precise language and structural control. This study investigated grammatical errors in a corpus of thirty descriptive texts produced by Indonesian high-school EFL learners, aiming to identify their types, classification, and underlying causes. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, errors were first identified through Azar’s coding system and classified using Bialystok et al.’s Surface Structure Taxonomy. Their causes were then interpreted through Corder’s and Ellis’ theoretical models, distinguishing intralingual from interlingual sources. Quantitative analysis showed singular-plural errors as the most frequent, followed by word choice, word form, and punctuation errors. Omission dominated misformation, addition and misordering, suggesting cognitive constraints or negative L1 transfer. Qualitative interpretation indicated that intralingual errors, comprising overgeneralization and simplification, significantly outweighed interlingual ones, highlighting the developmental nature of learners’ interlanguage at the intermediate level. The study underscores the need for clarification of complex grammatical structures, focused vocabulary development, the promotion of proofreading skills, and systematic feedback to address learners’ persistent difficulties in morphology, lexis, and mechanics. The insights gained from this analysis offer practical implications for improving writing curriculum design and instructional strategies.

Abstract

This study investigated the types of refusal strategies employed by female English EFL learners at Daruzzahidin Islamic Boarding School. It utilized a qualitative approach, collecting data through a Discourse Completion Task and interviews with twenty and fifteen students, respectively. The results indicated that the most frequently used refusal strategy was indirect, followed by direct and adjunct strategies. The interviews revealed that the students' choice of refusal strategy was influenced by their family and school environments. This study supports previous research on refusal strategies, but contrasts with findings that suggest a different approach to refusal. The study highlights the importance of considering the social and cultural context in which language is used, as well as the individual differences in language expression. The findings also underscore the need for further research on refusal strategies, particularly using natural speech as data and exploring the topic across various fields such as psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.
