Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation of polysemy in the Qur'an, focusing on comparing different versions of the translation. Polysemy, which refers to a single word with multiple meanings, often poses challenges in translating sacred texts such as the Qur'an, where accuracy and context are crucial. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive qualitative research design to evaluate how translators differ in interpreting and translating polysemy words from Arabic into Batak Angkola, Indonesian, and English. Batak Angkola language is one of the regional languages mainly spoken in the southern Tapanuli region. Batak Angkola was chosen because it is rarely used, especially for the younger generation who do not live in the area. Batak Angkola language translation of the Qur'an can make it easier, especially for those who are still limited in vocabulary, to better understand the translation of Qur'an and can be a reference for the future. In the analysis section, the five Arabic polysemies studied were collected and analyzed based on Katz and Fodor's theory of meaning component analysis. The findings of this study show that there are significant variations in the translation approaches used by translators, which affect the understanding and interpretation of the meaning of Qur'an verses. The article also underlines the importance of understanding the historical and linguistic contexts in the translation process so that the resulting meaning can remain consistent with the original text.

Abstract

Listening skills are foundational to second and foreign language acquisition. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to address learners' challenges effectively, creating a gap in instructional approaches that support listening comprehension. This study investigated the perceived effectiveness and practical challenges of using audio-visual media to teach listening skills to junior high school students. Employing a qualitative case study design, six purposefully selected English teachers from two schools in Medan, Indonesia, participated in semi-structured interviews, providing insights into their experiences. Thematic analysis revealed that audio-visual media appear to enhance listening comprehension by integrating auditory and visual stimuli, supporting students' understanding of accents, intonations, and conversational contexts while also increasing motivation and engagement. Teachers reported that these tools make lessons more interactive and facilitate efficient material delivery. However, several challenges were identified, including technological disruptions, inadequate facilities, and variations in students' listening abilities, which hinder optimal outcomes. The findings underscore the need for improved infrastructure, targeted teacher training, and tailored instructional strategies to maximize the benefits of audio-visual tools in language education. This study highlights the potential of audio-visual media to enhance listening comprehension and engagement while emphasizing the need to address technological and instructional challenges for effective implementation.

Abstract

This study was prompted by the importance of technology in language learning, especially in improving students' speaking abilities. One of the technologies used is the Loora application, a mobile-based language learning (MALL) application that uses AI to provide automatic feedback and simulate everyday conversations. This study investigates how the Loora application improves students' speaking ability. The study population was 9th-grade students at MTs Al-manar in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, with a sample of 20 students selected through purposive sampling. The research method used was classroom action research, which consisted of two cycles. Data collection was conducted through a pre-test as a diagnostic test, and a post-test was conducted each cycle to measure the improvement of students' speaking ability and interviews to understand students' experience using this application. The results showed a significant improvement in accuracy (pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar) and speaking fluency. The highest increase occurred in the vocabulary aspect, with a percentage increase of 38.49%, followed by grammar by 22.05% and pronunciation by 17.72%. Meanwhile, speaking fluency increased by 17.57%. From the analysis, the accuracy aspect experienced a higher increase than fluency, where the accuracy score increased by 21.22% and fluency by 17.57%. The interview results confirmed the students' improved speaking skills and highlighted their favorable experiences with the Loora app. They felt more confident in speaking after using Loora, and they appreciated the automatic feedback feature that helped them correct mistakes and better understand English. This positive experience underscores the app's user-friendliness, which is encouraging for both educators and app developers. This research shows that the Loora application can be a learning media that significantly improves students' speaking abilities. Educators are advised to consider using MALL-based technology when teaching languages, as it can enhance students' speaking ability. These findings can potentially be used by application developers to increase the interactive elements of their language learning apps, hence increasing their potency in developing students' speaking abilities.
