Abstract

Teaching English for primary school students highly emphasizes on vocabulary. It is understandable since they are at the first stage of learning the language. Unfortunately, in many teaching practices, vocabulary is taught in an isolated way without the presence of meaningful context. Vocabularies are often given in the form of long list to be memorized. Actually, the aim of learning vocabulary is to equip the students to be ready to use the language (i.e. speaking). Therefore, here, Total Physical Response Storytelling (TPRS) is to meet with the students’ need. TPR Storytelling is one of foreign language teaching methods proposed by Blaine Ray of Bakersfield, California. Using TPR Storytelling (TPRS), teachers told two stories, Crocodile Tears and The Very Hungry Caterpillar and students acted those stories out. The research was conducted to know the influence of TPR Storytelling on the student’s vocabulary mastery. It elaborates what works and what does not work in implementing Total Physical Response Storytelling to teach vocabulary. To achieve the purpose of this research, a Classroom Action Research consisting of two cycles was conducted. The subjects of the research were Second Graders of SD in Kudus, Centra Java, Indonesia, with the number of 20 students. Three instruments were used to collect the data, i.e.: test, observation, & questionnaire. The result of the research shows that the use of TPRS can improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. The students’ responses on the use of TPRS are also positive. Therefore, teachers are expected to make use of other stories by considering vocabularies that meet with the syllabus and the students’ need with the support from the institution.

Abstract

The Qur’an as the primary source of Islamic teachings not only provides guidance on worship and creed but also establishes fundamental principles governing social, political, and governmental life. One of the central themes emphasized in the Qur’an is leadership (imāmah), which is understood not merely as political authority but as a moral and spiritual mandate that entails accountability before both society and Allah. This study aims to analyze the concept of leaders and leadership in the Qur’an through a thematic interpretation approach. Employing qualitative library research, data were collected from classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, scholarly books, and reputable journal articles relevant to Islamic leadership. The study focuses on key Qur’anic leadership terminologies such as khalīfah, imāmah, and ulū al-amr, as well as the ethical principles underlying leadership, including faith, justice, trustworthiness, deliberation (shūrā), and responsibility. The findings reveal that Qur’anic leadership is characterized by moral integrity, justice, and accountability, with obedience to leaders being conditional upon their adherence to divine values. The Qur’an positions leaders as role models tasked with safeguarding public welfare and upholding justice. This study concludes that revitalizing Qur’anic leadership principles is essential for addressing contemporary leadership crises and for building governance systems that are ethical, trustworthy, and oriented toward societal welfare.

Abstract

In higher education, critical thinking skills are essential for students to develop their ability to explore problems, questions, or situations, find a solution, and justify their positions. Such skills can be cultivated through sustained, authentic dialogue with peers or in groups. To provide a supportive environment for dialogue and interaction among students, a book club was utilized as an alternative and extension activity of Extensive Reading course within the English Education Study Program at a private university in Indonesia. The book club enables students to connect with others, expressing and exchanging ideas and thoughts, thereby sharpening their critical thinking skills. This mixed-method study investigated the students’ reading and critical thinking skills after participating in the book club, the effectiveness of book club in developing these skills, and the ways in which the book club fostered critical thinking skills. Twenty-three freshmen from one class participated in the study. The instruments used were a reading test, a survey of critical thinking skills, and students’ work. The reading test and critical thinking survey were administered sequentially after the treatment, while students’ work was qualitatively analyzed. The findings reveal that book club is effective in developing student’s critical thinking skills, particularly in terms of creating alternative t endings to a given story.

Abstract

Many high school students still struggle with speaking, especially pronunciation and word choice that reflects their intended meaning. The study aims to know the effectiveness of using the Cake application to teach speaking skills. This research used a quantitative method and used a pre-experimental design. The sample consists of 35 students from XI F 6 of SMA 2 Bae Kudus. The research used a speaking test as the research data. The result of this study revealed the average value of the pre-test was 34.6, while the average value of the post-test was 49.5. The result of the analysis from SPSS revealed the value of Sig. (2-tailed) 0.00 < 0.05. If the value has a significance value (p-value) of 0.00, which is smaller than 0.05, then this indicates that the difference between the pre-test and post-test is highly significant. Therefore, the Cake application is effective in teaching speaking skills. Future research might consider the length of the research treatment and according to the material of the subject year.
