Abstract

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic impacted to many factors, one of them is the education sector. For about 2 years, teaching and learning in all levels was done using an online system. As a result, school parties implemented new rules to support the education system during a pandemic. After Covid-19 is over, it appears that in the digital age, online learning has merged with other teaching and learning activities.  This study sought to identify and characterize the difficulties teachers had when delivering online instruction and the methods they used to overcome those difficulties. For collecting the data, the researcher applied questionnaires and interviews as the research instruments. Then, the questionnaire's findings showed that teachers experienced difficulties in teaching online, including the use of technology, facilities, students’ motivation, and others.

Abstract

These days, music has a huge impact on its listeners who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Sadly, very view listeners are aware of the hidden and implicit meanings contained in the song lyrics. Thus, investigating deixis found in Islamic music by Maher Zain is crucial to provide the listeners with precise interpretations. This current study attempts to discover the varieties of deixis found in lyrics of the songs by Maher Zain ("Thank You Allah” album). This library study used Mahar Zain’s English lyric transcripts of 16 songs as the object of the investigation. Several procedures were done to analyze the data, namely data reduction, data display, as well as drawing conclusion and verification. The results revealed five varieties of deixis found in Maher Zain’s Islamic songs, namely 191 data for place deixis, 43 data for relative-time deixis, 27 data for place deixis, and several names related to The Prophet Muhammad SAW that referred to social deixis. In this study, there was no data found related to absolute-time deixis.  These current findings are expected to give deeper understanding related to implied meanings of the artwork, especially song lyrics in which the song can be used as source of motivation in life.

Abstract

Classroom management involves all endeavors aimed at establishing an efficient and pleasant teaching and learning environment that can inspire learners to learn effectively based on their abilities. It encompasses a range of intentional activities conducted by lecturers with the goal of establishing and sustaining optimal conditions for the teaching and learning process. This research investigates practical management strategies for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking class. Semi-structured interviews and active classroom observation were employed to collect the data. Three EFL lecturers from the English Department of Universitas Darussalam Gontor who provided English speaking classes participated in this study. The objective was to look into the lecturers' viewpoints and management of speaking classes and to examine the strategies they employed and the challenges they experienced. The findings show that the lecturers had implemented a variety of strategies, including setting discipline, physical environment, encouraging more usage of English, offering engaging topics, speaking correction techniques, and building excitement for content. The results also revealed that the lecturers encountered difficulties to manage their teaching. Challenges such as improper pronunciation, learners' low self-esteem, and shortage of lexical resources were among the lecturers’ obstacles.

Abstract

Purpose - Pesantren, as Indonesia’s longstanding Islamic boarding schools, have traditionally prioritized Arabic for religious instruction. However, in response to global academic demands, many pesantren are now adopting multilingual approaches, including the integration of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). This study aims to analyze the specific linguistic needs of pesantren students to inform the design of EAP curricula tailored to multilingual Islamic education contexts. Methods - Employing a descriptive qualitative ethnographic method, the research collected data through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and observations involving 30 randomly selected university students and institutional stakeholders in an East Java pesantren. Findings – The findings reveal that multilingualism in pesantren fosters cognitive flexibility, intercultural competence, and religious-literacy development, but it also presents substantial challenges for acquiring academic English proficiency. Research implications / limitations -This study highlights the importance of conducting rigorous needs analysis for EAP course design in pesantren and offers practical insights for improving curriculum design, language policy, and teacher preparation. Limitations include the contextual focus on a single pesantren university and the absence of a comparative multilingual education model.Originality - The study’s originality lies in its integration of EAP with Islamic multilingual education, a combination underexplored in current literature. It provides a framework for enhancing pesantren students' academic readiness in both local and global contexts.

Abstract

Kemampuan berbicara di depan umum (public speaking) merupakan keterampilan penting dalam mendukung peran aktif anggota PKK sebagai agen perubahan di lingkungan masyarakat. Namun, hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar anggota PKK Desa Kepuhrubuh, Kecamatan Siman, Ponorogo, masih memiliki rasa kurang percaya diri, kesulitan menyusun materi secara sistematis, serta belum memahami teknik komunikasi efektif dalam forum publik. Permasalahan ini berdampak pada rendahnya partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan desa dan kurang optimalnya penyampaian informasi antaranggota maupun kepada masyarakat luas. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi public speaking anggota PKK melalui program pelatihan yang bersifat partisipatif dan aplikatif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan, simulasi, diskusi kelompok, serta pendampingan praktik langsung. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan observasi kinerja saat praktik. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam aspek kepercayaan diri, struktur penyampaian materi, dan penguasaan teknik komunikasi. Selain itu, partisipasi anggota PKK dalam kegiatan desa menjadi lebih aktif dan terorganisir. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan public speaking yang terstruktur dan didampingi secara intensif dapat menjadi solusi efektif dalam memberdayakan perempuan desa untuk berkomunikasi lebih baik dan berkontribusi lebih luas dalam pembangunan masyarakat.
