Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of global education, English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/ EFL) pedagogy faces persistent challenges such as declining learner engagement, test-driven instruction, and insufficient development of intercultural competence. Literature, despite its proven capacity to foster linguistic proficiency, critical thinking, and cultural sensitivity, has remained underutilized and inconsistently applied in language classrooms. This study sought to reposition literature as a central element in ESL/ EFL education by examining how it can be systematically integrated into pedagogy. Employing a qualitative content analysis of thirty peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025, the study synthesized recurring themes across diverse contexts using NVivo-supported coding and thematic analysis. Five key themes emerged: pedagogical effectiveness, learner engagement, cultural relevance, cognitive development, and critical thinking integration. Building on these findings, the study introduced the Literary Integration Pedagogical Framework (LIPF), a model that unifies sociocultural scaffolding, emotional engagement, and critical literacy into a coherent and adaptable approach. The LIPF contributed theoretically by bridging previously fragmented perspectives and practically by offering curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers an evidence-based strategy for revitalizing language teaching. This study demonstrates that literature is not a peripheral supplement but an indispensable resource for cultivating linguistically competent, emotionally intelligent, and critically aware global citizens.

Abstract

Purpose – The COVID-19 pandemic has led to noticeable behavioural changes and negative character traits among Indonesian children, as evidenced by a decline in the national student character index. The Pancasila student profile, a framework for character and competency development within Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, aims to address these challenges. This study examines how the Pancasila student profile is implemented through differentiated learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE) Penggerak Schools in Banda Aceh, providing insights into effective strategies for holistic child development.Design/methods/approach –  This qualitative case study was conducted in two ECE institutions (one public, one private) participating in the Penggerak School Program. Data were collected through interviews with two kindergarten teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to identify key implementation strategies.Findings – The study revealed six key strategies for integrating the Pancasila Student Profile into ECE Penggerak schools through differentiated learning: (1) internalizing Islamic values in learning materials, (2) fostering child-led activity choices, (3) employing diverse teaching methods, (4) utilizing varied learning media, (5) engaging parents and the community (Tri-Sentra Pendidikan), and (6) adapting project-based learning flow to school contexts.Research implications/limitations – While the study provides valuable insights, its findings are limited to two schools in Banda Aceh, restricting generalizability. The short duration (two weeks) and reliance on teacher perspectives may also affect depth. Future research should expand to diverse regions, incorporate longitudinal designs, and include parent/child viewpoints to strengthen validity.Practical implications – The findings suggest that ECE educators should adopt differentiated learning tailored to children's interests and readiness, strengthen parental involvement, integrate local and digital resources, and flexibly adapt project-based learning to align with school capacities.Originality/value –This study addresses a gap in research on differentiated learning in Indonesian ECE, particularly within the Penggerak school program framework. It offers a practical model for embedding national character values into early childhood curricula, supporting Indonesia's goals for holistic student development.Paper type Case Study

Abstract

Progressive Education (PE) aims to promote students' active participation and involvement in the learning process. PE strongly supports learner-centered instruction (LCI), enabling students to be active participants rather than passive recipients of knowledge. Nevertheless, the LCI has not yet gained popularity in the Indonesian school settings, particularly in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. This enables us to do research on the potential and obstacles of implementing the LCI as required by Progressive Education in Islamic boarding schools. Data for this qualitative study was gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews and an online communication with 24 teachers from Islamic Boarding Schools in the province of Aceh. The findings indicate that although worries about the issues of the LCI are still arising, the teachers involved in this research believe that the LCI has promising prospects in the near future. The finding also found that although the LCI is considered an efficient method for facilitating optimal learning, it is deemed to be less successful in some courses.

Abstract

Educating children in the 21st century is different from it was in the 20st century. Parents in this era face challenges because it is impossible for their children to be away from the Internet and social media. Children become asocial because of their addiction to gadgets and the Internet. However, from the Internet, they may learn different new things that allow them to get information faster than their parents do. Parents must certainly adapt to this change in educating their children so that they are not distracted by the negative effects of incorrect education caused by technological advancements. The purpose of this study is to promote some of the important knowledge that parents must have to educate their children in this century, aside from religious knowledge, as the primary foundation of upbringing in Muslim families. This research undertakes a thorough examination of scholarly work on Islamic education for children and contemporary studies on children's learning in the 21st century. After scrutinizing a range of literature, the researchers identified several pertinent references for this investigation. The results of this study elucidate that in order to effectively nurture their children in the contemporary era, parents are required to possess a profound understanding of Islamic principles alongside a continuous commitment to enhance their comprehension in diverse fields such as parenting techniques, information technology, psychology, and communication strategies.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning has an important role in shaping the character and morality of Muslim individuals. To achieve this goal, an effective learning approach is needed. Effective learning is supported by appropriate learning methods and their impact on student learning outcomes. Some learning methods that can be used are drill, teamwork and role play methods. The drill method is an approach used to strengthen students' understanding of Islamic religious concepts through repeated practice. The teamwork method in PAI learning involves collaboration between students in groups to understand and apply Islamic religious concepts. The role play method in PAI learning involves role simulations where students play certain roles in situations related to the teachings of the Islamic religion. The research results show that the integration of these three methods improves the implementation of learning by creating a more interactive and interesting learning experience, which in turn deepens understanding and strengthens retention of lesson material. This research provides a new contribution to the PAI education literature by showing the potential of interactive learning methods in improving the quality of PAI learning. Carrying out the learning process by determining appropriate methods aims to help students internalize and remember religious information better.

Abstract

ABSTRACT - The ability to speak English confidently remains a major challenge for many learners in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. While previous research has established links between speaking anxiety and self-efficacy, less attention has been given to how learners interpret their own accents and how these perceptions influence their willingness to communicate. This qualitative study explores the experiences of eight Acehnese EFL university students in relation to speaking self-efficacy, foreign language anxiety, accentedness, and intelligibility. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that participants differed considerably in how they defined successful spoken communication. Some regarded intelligibility and mutual understanding as the primary goals of speaking, whereas others associated successful communication with achieving a native-like accent. For many participants, fear of negative evaluation emerged as a significant source of anxiety, leading to avoidance of speaking opportunities and reduced confidence. The study also found that the pursuit of native-like pronunciation was often linked to broader concerns about social recognition, legitimacy, and status rather than communication alone. In addition, inconsistencies between teachers’ stated emphasis on intelligibility and the continued use of native-speaker models contributed to uncertainty and heightened anxiety among learners. The findings suggest that speaking self-efficacy is shaped not only by linguistic competence but also by learners’ perceptions of how their speech is evaluated by others. The study highlights the importance of creating classroom environments that value intelligibility, acknowledge linguistic diversity, and support learners in developing confidence as legitimate English users. Such approaches may help reduce anxiety and encourage more active participation in spoken communication.

Abstract

Flipped learning within blended learning has attracted interest for its potential benefits. However, implementing a fully blended model with in-person synchronous learning remains challenging. Therefore, this mixed-methods study investigates a modified flipped approach using a virtual synchronous classroom environment, replacing traditional face-to-face interaction with online instruction. Specifically, our study focused on its implementation in the context of a Public Speaking class, aiming to explore students experiences and levels of learning anxiety with the modified flipped instructional method. A number of 43 out of 50 English major students from one of the state Islamic universities in Indonesia, in their fifth semester, completed and submitted the questionnaires. The results of the study indicated that the implementation of a virtual synchronous flipped classroom had a dual effect, positively influencing both the advancement of students speaking abilities and the alleviation of their anxiety in speaking English. The students found the Synchronous Virtual Flipped Classroom (SVFC) engaging and intellectually stimulating, recommending its adoption via platforms like Zoom and WhatsApp. While they recognized the benefits of technology, their views varied contextually, particularly regarding social interaction. Despite the advantages, students expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of social presence and sensory experience compared to traditional classrooms. Technical issues further hampered peer interaction and impacted their learning experience. These findings provide useful information regarding the potential and limitations of virtual synchronous flipped classrooms in enhancing speaking skills and managing anxiety in language learning.
