Abstract

This study examines how English for Sharia Purposes can serve as a pedagogical platform for cultivating tolerance and interfaith competence among Muslim law students in Indonesia’s plural legal order, where state law interacts with Sharia-based norms and diverse religious communities. Conducted at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Salatiga within the Constitutional Law study program of the Faculty of Sharia, the research responds to institutional commitments to Islamic moderation and global engagement. While English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in Sharia faculties has traditionally emphasized linguistic proficiency, limited attention has been given to its potential for preparing future Sharia lawyers to navigate socio-legal challenges involving religious rights, minority protections, and interreligious dispute resolution. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with lecturers and students, and document analysis of teaching materials and institutional policy statements. Findings show that debates on minority rights, interfaith-mediation role-plays, and analysis of constitutional and international human-rights texts did more than improve students’ legal English; they fostered professional dispositions of fairness, empathy, and rights-aware reasoning grounded in Sharia principles of ʿadl (justice), tasāmuh (tolerance), and wasatiyyah (moderation). Student reflections suggested movement from “othering” to recognizing non-Muslims as equal subjects of justice, consistent with intercultural sensitivity and interfaith competence models. The study contributes to interfaith law and society by demonstrating how discipline-specific language education can serve as a socio-legal formation, translating interfaith ethics into practical legal communication skills for plural, rights-based contexts.

Abstract

This research examines the vocabulary profile in 8th grade Indonesian EFL textbooks published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education in 2022 through a corpus-based approach. The study is aimed to draw a vocabulary profile of high-, mid- and low-frequency based category of vocabulary levels. In addition, the research also reports the estimated number of vocabulary size required to promote an adequate reading comprehension, where 95% and 98% coverage are regarded as the threshold. The textbook examined was obtained from the Indonesian Book Information System and prepared as analyzable corpora. The corpora consist of 27188 tokens is analyzed using Range program to obtain preliminary data analysis. The first research question revealed that the textbook contains approximately 85% of high-frequency words, followed by 7% and 0.3% of mid- and low- frequency words respectively. The second research question showed that in order to reach reading comprehension threshold of 95%, the learners need the knowledge of 3000 word-families, and additional one-thousand-word families to reach 98% of text coverage. At the end, the findings of this study suggest pedagogical implication for teachers, practical implication for textbook authors, and basis for subsequent research.

Abstract

In the linguistically varied environment of foreign cruise ships, strategic English use as a lingua franca determines how well multinational crews communicate. This study examines challenges, interference, and coping strategies in English communication in a multilingual context of Balinese cruise ship crew members who have spent more than ten years working for an international cruise company. The data of the study were collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine deliberately selected participants. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to examine their communication challenges, inferences, and copings strategies they develop in response to English communication-related issues. Results reveal the challenges that the Balinese cruise ship crew members faced were the variety of the English pronunciation and accent of the speakers from Japan, India, Russia, and China. In terms of interferences, The Balinese crew members’ English exhibited structural errors influenced by interference from Balinese and Indonesian. These errors, shaped by differences in their native languages, included issues with article usage, verb conjugation, and sentence construction. The This study also confirmed that Balinese cruise ship crew members demonstrated a range of adaptive strategies and coping methods to manage these challenges. In situations where verbal understanding was lacking, they primarily relied on context, nonverbal cues, and interpreting the situation to grasp meaning. To enhance clarity, particularly during guest interactions, they also employed techniques such as rephrasing, repeating information, and simplifying their language. These results highlight the resiliency and adaptability of Balinese cruise ship crew members and provide an understanding of English as a working language in international cruise ship professional environments.

Abstract

This study aims to explore EFL students’ perceptions of viral TikTok English songs as a tool for vocabulary learning. In today’s digital era, social media platforms such as TikTok have become a part of students’ daily lives and offer new possibilities for integrating entertainment into education. Viral English songs on TikTok are often catchy and memorable, making them potential media for improving students’ vocabulary acquisition in an enjoyable way. This research used a quantitative descriptive survey involving 52 English Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang, selected through a pre-survey screening to ensure they were active TikTok users familiar with viral English songs. A 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire measured three aspects which are students’ engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and perceptions of TikTok as a learning tool. The data were analyzed through reverse coding of negative items, reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha, and descriptive statistics. The results show that students were highly engaged with TikTok English songs and reported meaningful vocabulary gains supported by repeated and contextual audiovisual exposure. Students also showed positive attitudes toward TikTok, finding it enjoyable and useful for learning, which aligns with theories of comprehensible input, multimedia learning, and the Technology Acceptance Model. Overall, the study suggests that viral TikTok English songs can function as an effective supplementary tool for increasing engagement and supporting vocabulary learning in EFL settings.

Abstract

Translanguaging enables educators and learners to adapt in the learning process of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) by utilizing their entire linguistic repertoire. This qualitative case study aims to analyze the use of translanguaging focusing on strategies and pedagogical function by three pre-service teachers during their teaching practice (PPL) in junior high schools. Data were collected through semi structured interviews and video observations, which were then analyzed using qualitative case study analysis. The results show that teachers often use various languages such as Indonesia and Javanese, semiotics resources also used to encourage learning. Another strategy that found is the use of simple translation (translative) method and complex translating (interwoven) method. In addition, there are pedagogical functions of translanguaging that include class management, improving student understanding and participation, explaining concepts of the material and instructions. These results show the importance of translanguaging practices by pre-service teachers to improve and strengthen student learning in the EFL context.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has increasingly influenced academic learning in higher education. While previous studies highlight ChatGPT's usefulness in supporting students’ academic tasks, limited research has examined students’ ethical awareness when using AI tools in academic contexts. This study aims to investigate English major students’ perceptions of the ethical use of ChatGPT in academic learning. A descriptive quantitative design was employed using a questionnaire distributed to 23 English major students. The data were analyzed using percentages and mean scores to examine students’ perceptions of ChatGPT’s usefulness, ease of use, and ethical considerations. The findings indicate that students generally perceive ChatGPT as a helpful learning tool that supports idea, comprehension of academic materials, and task completion. However, students also demonstrate awareness of the importance of verifying AI-generated information and maintaining originality. The study concludes that ChatGPT can support academic learning when used responsibly and ethically.

Abstract

The integration of 21st-century skills (4Cs) in EFL reading instruction has become a central expectation in higher education; however, its implementation in General English contexts remains uneven, particularly in Intensive English Programs (IEPs). This study aimed to investigate the difficulties lecturers encounter in integrating critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity into reading instruction at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. Using a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with three lecturers, and document analysis of instructional materials. The data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke’s framework. The findings revealed six interconnected challenges: procedural reading tasks, low cognitive demand, limited instructional time, superficial collaboration practices, insufficient cognitively directive instructional language, and assessment practices that prioritized accuracy over reasoning. These challenges indicate that the integration of the 4Cs is constrained not only by lecturers’ pedagogical decisions but also by task design, classroom implementation, and institutional program demands. The study concludes that effective integration of 4Cs in reading instruction requires greater attention to micro-level instructional design rather than relying solely on general pedagogical awareness. It is recommended that lecturers incorporate cognitively directive tasks, structured collaborative activities, and assessment practices emphasizing reasoning and interpretation. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how 4Cs can be operationalized in intensive EFL contexts.

Abstract

Although ChatGPT is commonly used to improve writing skills, its potential to improve speaking, especially English debate, remains understudied. This study aims to explore students' perceptions on the contributions of the Debate Coursebook with ChatGPT-supported learning activities for studying Matter (content), Manner (delivery, confidence, and pronunciation), and Method (structure, flow, rebuttal, and Point of Information). This qualitative research focuses on exploring the experiences of 10 students performing as debaters, moderator, timer, adjudicator, and audience through the interview, documentation, and observation. Each participant was given a unique code to guarantee anonymity and preserve the confidentiality of their identities throughout the research process, and the gathered data was examined using a thematic analysis technique. This technique was implemented to identify how they learn matter, manner, and method aspects (Freeley & Steinberg theory). The results showed that in the matter aspect, ChatGPT helped students construct more logical and relevant arguments, but some felt overly dependent on AI suggestions. For manner aspect, it is contributive for pronunciation, intonation, and confidence. Meanwhile, for method aspect, the debate structure and rebuttal skills became clearer, although some still had difficulty adapting the flow to the real-life debate format. ChatGPT-integrated debate coursebook is contributive for debate practice, especially big class, but it must be under the lecturer guidance. Instructors are advised to integrate ChatGPT as a supporting tool, not a replacement for conventional debate practice.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Maluku local wisdom, specifically "Kalesang" values, in enhancing students' descriptive writing competence through the FRESH technique among introverted and extroverted learners. This research aims to develop a culturally responsive and personality-sensitive pedagogy that integrates linguistic skills, cultural identity, and individual learning styles. Hence, this qualitative case study enlisted eight ninth-grade students from a junior high school in Masohi, Maluku, Indonesia. The data were collected through students’ writing products, in-depth interviews, and classroom observations. Afterward, the data were analyzed using a thematic analysis through the theoretical lens of sociocultural theory, differentiated instruction, and multiple intelligences theory. The results indicate that combining structured writing strategies with local values enhances coherence and elaboration in student texts, while also deepening cultural awareness and learner motivation. This study contributes to language education research by offering a replicable model for integrating indigenous knowledge with evidence-based pedagogy, promoting inclusive and meaningful learning in diverse EFL classrooms.
