Abstract

This study examines the complex phonological shifts within the Mewati language, focusing on the transformation of the alveolar lateral sound between two vowels into an alveolar tap/flap. Using Optimality Theory (OT), our primary goal is to uncover the underlying process responsible for this phonological alteration. Fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and audio recordings were used to acquire extensive data. Together, these three data sources contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the phonological alteration under investigation. In summary, fieldwork provides the context, in-depth interviews offer insights into speakers perspectives, and audio recordings supply the raw phonetic data. The research field was Haryanas District Mewat, where we engaged a diverse group of fifty informants, including youth, adults, and the elderly. Mewati, a language native to Haryanas Mewat district exhibits a striking pattern. Our findings revealed that Mewati speakers relinquished the identity of the alveolar lateral sound if it did not occur between two adjacent vowels. These linguistic constraints serve as crucial determinants in evaluating potential output candidates, aligning them with the ranking features of input candidates in the framework of OT. The data collected from the heart of Mewat unequivocally confirms the presence of a phonological alteration process within the linguistic landscape of this region.

Abstract

This study elaborates the perspectives of teachers and primary school students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) regarding the application of the shadowing technique for pronunciation. Scholars have acknowledged shadowing as an effective technique for improving learners' pronunciation, where pupils replicate speech as carefully and promptly as possible following a speaker. This qualitative study was carried out at MIN 2 Langsa throughout the academic year of 2022-2023. Subject of the research was an English teacher and 30 fifth-grade pupils selected purposively. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with an EFL teacher and focus group discussions with the primary school students, followed by classroom observations to provide a deeper comprehension of the actual use of the method. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns and themes in participants' responses. Results revealed that teacher considered the technique effective for enhancing students' speech accuracy, rhythm, and intonation. It offers students an immediate opportunity to correct their pronunciation and actively involves them in learning English, particularly in terms of pronunciation. The learners primarily viewed shadowing activity as an enjoyable exercise, where they practiced English chorally. This technique fosters students' confidence in the English classroom by alleviating individual pressure, while all participants learn and practice English together. Thus, it can be a powerful tool for enhancing young learners' pronunciation in an engaging way. English teachers might employ the technique as an alternative strategy to engage young learners in foreign language acquisition, particularly in pronunciation.

Abstract

This study examined the emergence of the phenomenon of hijra among millennials in Aceh, Indonesia, and how this phenomenon has changed the Islamic landscape. This study applied qualitative research methods while the data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of 4 hijra community founders and 10 teenage members of 3 hijra communities in Langsa. These communities include Komunitas Generasi Rabbani (KGR), the Akhwat Ilmu Agama (AKHIA) and the Muslimah Aceh Fillah (MAF). This research integrated Michael Foucault's theory of power and knowledge and Jurgen Habermas’s theory of public space. The findings of this study indicated that the phenomenon of hijra among them has implications for changes in the Islamic landscape. It was triggered by the rapid development of information technology, such as the use of the internet through social media and content production on various digital platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The impact of this phenomenon fosters the autonomy of the millennials to find their interpretations and choose new religious patrons that can be accessed easily through various existing digital platforms. The emergence of these new religious patrons does not come from traditional religious institutions like dayah. Such Islamic expression will expose young Muslims to pop culture and information technology in the future.

Abstract

Reflective teaching practice is an approach that promotes teachers' professional development. Experts emphasize that reflection does not occur naturally in most teachers, but it is a skill acquired through learning. Therefore, promoting the reflective practice in an early stage is pivotal. This research reports the implementation of reflective teaching strategies at an initial teacher education program in the context of Aceh. It further explores the impact of the learning on the student teachers’ practical teaching during an internship program. This study employed a qualitative inquiry for the research method. Observation and in-depth interviews were used as methods of data collection. The prospective teachers learned to reflect through several strategies; diary writing, dialogic lecturer’s feedback, recording lesson through video, and peer observation. The finding showed that the learning on reflection developed some student teachers' awareness to reflect in their teaching practice during the internship program. They assessed their strength and weaknesses in teaching by self-assessing during and after the learning took place, examining students’ involvement during classroom activities, asking students’ thoughts and feelings about the learning, and asking the supervisor’s feedback. Moreover, efforts they carried out to improve their teaching practice involved practicing teaching at home, finding out supporting materials, watching teaching videos on YouTube, and asking fellow novice teachers to conduct peer monitoring. The reflective teaching activities built their confidence in teaching, assisted them to deals with problems they encountered in real classrooms, and stimulated their creative ideas in facilitating the learning. Thus, reflective teaching practice is required to be embedded in initial teacher training curricula to generate reflective practitioners.
