Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of the Four Square Writing method on student achievement in writing narrative texts. Additionally, it analyzes factors that could influence the students‘ achievement in writing narrative text. The study employs a quasi-experimental approach with two classes, an experimental class (Class X-2) and a control class (Class X-3). The primary data collection involves pre-tests and post-tests, where students are assessed in writing narrative stories. The assessment criteria are based on Jacob et al.'s theory, encompassing content, organization, grammar, language use, and mechanics. In addition, the questionnaire is also involved in this research to know the factors of writing narrative text achievement. The findings of this research indicate a significant positive effect of using the Four Square Writing method in teaching narrative text writing to tenth-grade students at SMA Al-Fath in Cilegon City. The statistical analysis reveals that t0 : tt = 4.632, which is greater than the critical value of at a 5% and 1% significance level. The factors influencing students' achievement in writing narrative text in sequental order are the teaching method, motivation, students' personality and interests, teaching materials, teacher feedback, cognitive ability, media use, and the classroom environment. This research helps students to improve their ability to structure and organize narrative writing effectively and enhances their understanding of grammar and proper language use in writing.

Through a true experimental design, data were gathered from two groups, one exposed to video-based instruction and the other to audio-based instruction. Analysis reveals a significant difference in listening comprehension performance, with the video-based approach yielding superior outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of multimedia integration, particularly leveraging visual aids, in optimizing students' comprehension skills. Educational practitioners can use these insights to tailor instructional methods, fostering more effective learning environments that cater to diverse student needs.

Abstract

This research aims to investigates Bantenese students' perceptions of integrating digital technologies in collaborative learning.  A descriptive qualitative approach was engaged, employing questionnaires as the primary means of data collection. Subsequently, the data underwent a comprehensive analysis involving data reduction, presentation, and the formulation of conclusions. The research revealed that the integration of technology in collaborative learning, from the viewpoint of Bantenese’ students, offers substantial support and benefits to both educators and learners. It provides convenient access to comprehensive information from various reputable sources, thereby reducing the time needed for assignments. Nonetheless, a drawback associated with the incorporation of technology in education is the risk of fostering passivity in students, as they may opt for immediate solutions through artificial intelligence or turn to assignment service websites, raising concerns about their authenticity and data security. This research also underscores the necessity for additional exploration into the difficulties encountered by students in Banten when engaging in collaborative learning approaches that incorporate technology.

Abstract

This current study has increased the amount of studies on metadiscourse features in English and Arabic, as well as cultural groupings, by examining the usage of hedging in linguistic research articles published in English and Arabic. The technique was qualitative, with a corpus of 40 articles from six linguistics journals used. This study aimed to identify similarities and differences in the use of hedges in native English and native Arabic linguistics research publications. Hyland's taxonomy of metadiscourse markers was used to analyze the language categories. The contrastive analysis of English and Arabic in this article was a systematic investigation of language pairs to uncover differences and similarities. Arabic articles are not more dominant than English articles in the Hidges structure. The result showed that hedges in English is greater than in Arabic research articles. From those findings, it might have a substantial influence on the teaching and learning of Arabic as a foreign language in English context.

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly seen as a powerful educational tool that provides immersive and interactive learning experiences. However, its influence on English vocabulary learning among secondary school students remains underexplored. This study examines the effectiveness of AR in improving English vocabulary mastery and learning motivation among Grade VII students in Serang City, Indonesia. Using a randomized mixed-methods approach, 75 students (aged 12–13) were divided into an experimental group (n = 38), which received AR-based vocabulary instruction, and a control group (n = 37), which was taught using traditional image-based media. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests of vocabulary skills and motivation questionnaires, both showing high reliability (α = 0.932 and α = 0.890, respectively). Qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. Results from the Mann-Whitney U test and independent samples t-test indicated a significant improvement in vocabulary learning and motivation among students exposed to AR. The experimental group performed better than the control group in satisfaction, engagement, and interest. Interview results further supported these findings, emphasizing AR’s ability to increase interactivity, support memory retention, cater to diverse learning styles, and boost overall learner enthusiasm. These results highlight the pedagogical potential of AR in fostering vocabulary development and motivation in secondary English education.

Abstract

This study compares the preservation and adaptation of ethnic identities in Banten (Indonesia) and Pattani (Thailand), with particular attention to the effects of globalisation, state policies, and political conflict. It examines how historical legacies, cultural practices, education, and socio-economic interactions have shaped identity in both regions. In Banten, the Sultanate era (seventeenth to nineteenth centuries) created a cosmopolitan society through trade and Islamic learning, where Javanese, Sundanese, Arab, Persian, and Chinese communities coexisted. Today, Banten continues to integrate traditional practices with modern technologies, with education playing a central role in sustaining heritage. Pattani, by contrast, faces ongoing struggles of cultural preservation in a politically contested environment. The Malay-Muslim community demonstrates resilience through the preservation of language, religious education, and traditional arts, despite tensions with the Thai state. The findings reveal both similarities and divergences, underscoring the need for context-sensitive strategies to safeguard ethnic identities and foster coexistence in diverse societies.

Abstract

This study examines the role of social media in shaping Muslim identities in Indonesia and Thailand, highlighting how national contexts mediate digital religious practices. Drawing on digital ethnography, surveys, and interviews, the research shows that online platforms function as key arenas where Muslims negotiate faith, authority, and identity. In Indonesia, a Muslim-majority society, social media is often intertwined with politics: it amplifies religious movements, mobilizes mass campaigns such as the 212 Action, and empowers digital preachers who redefine religious authority. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok shape public perceptions of piety by blending Islamic values with popular culture and commercial interests. In contrast, Thai Muslims—situated as a minority within a Buddhist-majority society—use digital platforms more subtly for cultural preservation, solidarity, and resistance against marginalisation. Online spaces enable them to assert belonging, challenge stereotypes, and sustain religious life otherwise constrained offline. Across both contexts, social media emerges not only as a medium of expression but also as a site of tension, fragmentation, and negotiation, underscoring its transformative power in the construction of Muslim digital identities in Southeast Asia.
