Abstract

English language proficiency plays a vital role in supporting students’ academic performance, especially in higher education settings where English is both the subject of study and a medium for learning. This study aimed to examine the relationship between English proficiency and academic performance among undergraduate students in the English Education Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 90 students whose English proficiency was measured using the English Proficiency Test for Internal Control (EPTIC), while academic performance was represented by their Grade Point Average (GPA). Data analysis using Pearson correlation revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship (r = 0.664, p < 0.001) between English proficiency and GPA. Linear regression analysis further indicated that English proficiency predicted 44.1% of the variance in academic performance. These findings highlight the importance of English proficiency as a predictor of students’ academic success. The results also support the use of institutional language assessments like EPTIC for evaluating academic readiness. It is recommended that higher education institutions provide structured language support programs to enhance student learning outcomes. Future studies should investigate the contributions of individual language skills and other influencing factors.

Abstract

Social media has been widely used by many people nowadays. Chatting, playing games, calling friends and relatives, and even making an appointment for a date or reunion with some old friends can now easily be organized in social media. With those many uses, each social media platform has some community standards to regulate the interaction to avoid any violation or offence that may threaten the harmonious atmosphere in the interaction. Despite that, some harsh words, rude comments, and negative attitudes can still be easily found in social media interactions. This research investigates those rapport-threatening behaviors by analyzing how they are expressed and whether they are threatening the social media users’ rapport or not. The research finds that there are several rapport-threatening behaviors in the interactions on Instagram which are sarcasm, insult, criticism, profanity, challenge, and even emoji use.

Abstract

Kota Mekah dan Madinah merupakan pusat ilmu agama, sehingga banyak kaum muslim di sentero dunia pergi ke sana untuk mencari ilmu di samping beribadah haji. Kebangkitan madrasah terjadi setelah berdirinya madrasah Nizhamiyah, madrasah ini sebagai prototipe madrasah sunni yang dibuka dan diresmikan oleh Nizham Al-Mulk. Segera setelah itu kebangkitan madrasah menyebar di beberapa kota di Timur Tengah disusul oleh madrasah Haramain (Mekah dan Madinah). Kebangkitan madrasah Haramain dilatarbelakangi oleh dua faktor, yaitu: faktor internal dan faktor eksternal. Faktor internalnya, antara lain, adanya anggapan bahwa di Haramain lebih mulia daripada mendirikannya di luar Haramain. Sedangkan faktor eksternalnya, antara lain, munculnya kebangkitan madrasah yang ada di beberapa negara muslim, seperti Nisapur, Syria, Baghdad, Mesir, Damaskus, dan Bayt al-Maqdis. Madrasah Haramain kebanyakan didirikan oleh penguasa dan para dermawan non Hijaz dan madrasah ini juga memiliki ketergantungan dari pendirinya, sedangkan wacana keilmuan berkisar pada ilmu-ilm fiqh, ilmu tafsir, ilmu hadis, ilmu tasawuf dan juga ilmu kedokteran.
