Abstract

This study explores the implementation and impact of curriculum innovation in English language education at SMA Negeri 1 Padang Sidimpuan. Against the backdrop of national curriculum reforms and global educational trends, this research investigates how curriculum innovation is interpreted and practiced by English teachers, and how it influences teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes. Employing a qualitative approach with case study methods, data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that innovative practices—such as the integration of technology, contextualized learning materials, and student-centered pedagogy—are being implemented to varying degrees. However, several challenges persist, including limited teacher training, inconsistent access to resources, and misalignment between innovation goals and assessment practices. The study concludes that successful curriculum innovation depends not only on policy directives but also on teacher agency, institutional support, and continuous professional development. This research contributes to the growing discourse on English curriculum transformation and offers recommendations for sustainable, context-sensitive innovation in secondary language education.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced educational practices, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Deep learning–based AI technologies offer adaptive and interactive learning environments that support the development of communicative language skills. This study aims to examine the application of deep learning–based Artificial Intelligence in enhancing students’ English listening and speaking skills, which are often challenging to develop through conventional instructional methods. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach. A total of 30 EFL students participated in the study and were divided into an experimental group (15 students) and a control group (15 students). The experimental group received instruction using deep learning–based AI tools, including automatic speech recognition, adaptive listening materials, and real-time pronunciation feedback, while the control group was taught using traditional methods. Data were collected through listening and speaking tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group showed significantly greater improvement in listening comprehension and speaking performance than those in the control group. The use of AI-based instruction contributed to improved pronunciation accuracy, fluency, and confidence in oral communication. These results indicate that deep learning–based Artificial Intelligence is an effective instructional approach for enhancing English listening and speaking skills and has the potential to support learner-centered and technology-enhanced EFL instruction

Abstract

The integration of Islamic values into English language teaching has become an important issue in Islamic educational institutions, particularly in contexts where English is taught as a foreign language. English language instruction is often perceived as focusing primarily on linguistic skills, with limited attention to moral and spiritual dimensions. This condition raises concerns regarding the need to balance language competence with character and value education. Therefore, internalizing Islamic values in English language teaching is essential to ensure that students develop not only communicative abilities but also strong moral and spiritual foundations. This study aims to explore the internalization of Islamic values in English language teaching and to examine how these values are implemented in classroom practices. Employing a qualitative research design, the study was conducted in an Islamic-based educational institution where English is taught as a compulsory subject. The participants consisted of English teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, including lesson plans and teaching materials. The data were analyzed using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to identify recurring themes related to the integration of Islamic values. The findings reveal that Islamic values are internalized in English language teaching through the integration of moral principles into learning objectives, teaching materials, classroom activities, and teacher–student interactions. Values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, respect, cooperation, and politeness are consistently emphasized during the learning process. Teachers employ Islamic-contextualized materials, such as reading texts and dialogues containing moral messages, and reinforce values through daily classroom routines, including greetings and reflective practices. Teacher modeling and communicative behavior also play a crucial role in strengthening value internalization. Despite the positive implementation, the study identifies several challenges, including limited availability of English teaching materials that explicitly integrate Islamic values and varying levels of teacher preparedness in applying value-based instruction. Nevertheless, the integration of Islamic values is perceived to enhance students’ motivation, engagement, and character development without hindering language acquisition. In conclusion, the internalization of Islamic values in English language teaching contributes to holistic education by combining linguistic competence with moral and spiritual growth. The study recommends greater institutional support, teacher training, and the development of value-based English teaching resources to strengthen the effectiveness of this integrative approach.

Abstract

This study, entitled “Language Variation in Interactions between Students and Indonesian Language Teachers at Pangeran Antasari Junior High School, Medan,” aims to describe the forms of language variation used in interactions between Grade IX-3 students and Indonesian Language teachers, as well as to identify the social and situational factors influencing the choice of language varieties during the Indonesian language learning process. The subjects of this study were Indonesian Language teachers and Grade IX-3 students of Pangeran Antasari Junior High School, Medan, in the 2025/2026 academic year. The object of the study was language variation in verbal utterances produced by teachers and students during classroom interaction. Data were collected through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. This research employed a qualitative approach using the ethnography of communication. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through data triangulation and member checking. This study was conducted at Pangeran Antasari Junior High School, Medan, located on Jl. Veteran No. 1060/19, Helvetia. The findings revealed several forms of language variation, including formal, casual, intimate, and consultative varieties, with casual language being the most dominant form used by both teachers and students during classroom learning. Furthermore, social factors such as teacher–student social relationships, the teacher’s role as instructor and classroom manager, students’ age and characteristics, teacher–student closeness, and local social and cultural backgrounds, as well as situational factors including classroom conditions, communicative and instructional goals, classroom atmosphere, and types of learning activities, influenced the selection of language varieties used by teachers and students.
