Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how EFL students perceive the role of lyrics in song-based listening activities. Students’ perceptions of the use of lyrics during listening practice were investigated using a qualitative descriptive research approach. Five university students who had experience listening to English songs with lyrics were intentionally selected as participants. This study concentrated on their authentic listening practices rather than using an intervention-based design. Semi-structured interviews, documentation, and observation were used to gather data. Miles and Huberman’s interactive qualitative analysis model, which incorporates data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting, was used to examine the data. The results show that during listening exercises, participants described lyrics as visual aids that helped them follow spoken input, identify words, and comprehend song meaning. Additionally, participants reported that listening was more comfortable and engaging when lyrics were present. However, some participants reported difficulty comprehending both audio and lyrics simultaneously, particularly in songs with fast-paced sections or unfamiliar terminology. Overall, students view lyrics as a supportive component of their listening experiences. This study is limited by the small sample size, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Despite this limitation, the results indicate that incorporating lyrics into song-based listening activities can support students’ comprehension and motivation, particularly in informal learning contexts. Future research is therefore recommended to include larger samples and examine additional variables, such as proficiency levels and song genres, to gain a deeper understanding of the role of lyrics in EFL listening development.

Abstract

Although speaking is a crucial skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, students often have limited opportunities to practice it in classroom settings. While previous studies have highlighted the potential of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), few have examined how specific applications such as Beelinguapp support speaking practices in real classroom contexts, particularly in low exposure environments. This study aims to explore students’ speaking practices using the Beelinguapp application in an Islamic Senior High School. A qualitative case study was conducted involving 20 eleventh-grade students, with three students and one English teacher selected through purposive sampling for in-depth interviews. Data were collected through one classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that students practiced speaking through listening, repetition, and story retelling. The application supported pronunciation, vocabulary development, and engagement, although challenges such as limited vocabulary and exposure remained.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of cooperative learning groups in reducing speaking anxiety among EFL students at SMPN 2 Gading. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design involving 18 ninth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and documentation during three cooperative learning sessions. Data were analysed using thematic analysis based on the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that students initially experienced high levels of speaking anxiety, characterized by hesitation, low self-confidence, and fear of negative judgment. However, after participating in cooperative learning groups, students became more comfortable, active, and confident in speaking. The main factors contributing to the reduction in anxiety included peer support, sharing opinions, emotional comfort, frequent speaking practice, and shared responsibility. This study concludes that cooperative learning is an effective pedagogical strategy for reducing speaking anxiety and creating a supportive learning environment in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom.

Abstract

Listening is a significant skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, especially in low-exposure settings where students have limited contact with English outside the classroom. However, many students struggle and demonstrate low motivation as a result of monotonous teaching approaches and a lack of engaging activities. Previous research has mostly focused on learning outcomes rather than students' perceptions of enjoyable listening activities. Furthermore, little research has explored students' perceptions in low-exposure settings. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate students' perceptions and determine the types of listening activities they enjoy the most. This study used a qualitative case study approach with students from MTs. Zainul Irsyad. Data were obtained through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings show that while students initially have negative perceptions, they respond positively to participatory activities such as songs, videos, and group discussions. Finally, enjoyable and interactive activities increase students' interest and motivation in learning through listening.

Abstract

The amendment of the Marriage Law through Law Number 16 of 2019, which raised the minimum marriageable age to 19 years, has created a legal paradox in Indonesia. Despite stricter regulations intended to prevent child marriage, requests for marriage dispensation in Religious Courts have significantly increased. This study analyzes the judicial reasoning behind these grants using a qualitative document study and a descriptive-normative approach, specifically focusing on the Probolinggo Religious Court Decree No. 210/Pdt.P/2025/Pa.Probolinggo. The findings indicate that judges often grant dispensations based on the Islamic legal maxim akhaff al-dararain (choosing the lesser of two evils) to prevent perceived social harms such as premarital intimacy or pregnancy. However, from the perspective of Maqasid al-Syari’ah and children’s rights, this study critiques the dominance of short-term welfare considerations over long-term vulnerabilities. The results suggest that current judicial practices often neglect the child's rights to education (hifz al-’aql), reproductive health (hifz al-nafs), and economic stability. The study concludes that a transformation in the judicial approach is necessary, moving from a formal-administrative "rubber stamp" process to an integrative model involving cross-sectoral collaboration with health and psychological experts to ensure the "best interest of the child." [Perubahan Undang-Undang Perkawinan melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 yang menaikkan batas usia minimum perkawinan menjadi 19 tahun telah melahirkan suatu paradoks hukum di Indonesia. Di tengah pengetatan regulasi yang bertujuan untuk mencegah perkawinan anak, permohonan dispensasi kawin di Pengadilan Agama justru mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam mengabulkan permohonan dispensasi kawin dengan menggunakan metode studi dokumen kualitatif dan pendekatan deskriptif-normatif, dengan fokus pada Penetapan Pengadilan Agama Probolinggo Nomor 210/Pdt.P/2025/PA.Probolinggo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hakim kerap mengabulkan dispensasi kawin dengan mendasarkan pertimbangannya pada kaidah fikih akhaff al-dararain (memilih mudarat yang lebih ringan) guna mencegah kemudaratan sosial yang dipersepsikan, seperti kedekatan hubungan antara laki-laki dan perempuan di luar perkawinan maupun kehamilan di luar nikah. Namun demikian, ditinjau dari perspektif Maqashid al-Syari’ah dan hak-hak anak, penelitian ini mengkritisi dominannya pertimbangan kemaslahatan jangka pendek dibandingkan dengan kerentanan jangka panjang yang berpotensi dialami oleh anak. Temuan penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa praktik peradilan yang berlangsung saat ini sering kali mengabaikan hak anak atas pendidikan (hifz al-‘aql), kesehatan reproduksi (hifz al-nafs), dan stabilitas ekonomi di masa depan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa diperlukan transformasi dalam pendekatan peradilan, dari sekadar proses formal-administratif yang bersifat rubber stamp menuju model yang lebih integratif melalui kolaborasi lintas sektor dengan tenaga kesehatan dan psikolog, guna menjamin terpenuhinya prinsip kepentingan terbaik bagi anak (the best interest of the child).]

Abstract

This study examines the function of the prosecutor's code of ethicsas a moral and professional guideline in the implementation of restorative justice inIndonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this studyanalyzes various regulations and literature to evaluate ethical issuesarising from the policy of discontinuing prosecution. The findings show thatalthough the code of ethics emphasizes the importance of integrity and professionalism,the implementation of restorative justice is often hampered by external pressures,imbalances between victims and perpetrators, and the influence of institutions.The success of restorative justice is highly dependent on strengthening ethical oversight, improving prosecutors' mediation skills, and developing consistent standard operating procedures. The balance between prosecutor integrity,structural oversight, and procedural clarity is key to ensuringthat the case resolution process is fair andaccountable.

Abstract

The application of fiqh rules is not only focused on individual problems and worship (individual-vertical), but it’s also applied as a solution to various problems related to social-horizontal, one of which is a rule that explains the concept of convenience in order to eliminate burdens, difficulties and obstacles due to doubts in establishing a law correctly and with certainty, so that the right way is needed to determine the existence of legal certainty, that is by eliminating all doubts in it. This research aims to describe the implementation of the rules of al-yaqinu la yuzalu bi al-syak fiqh in relation to Islamic marriage law issues. This type of research is library research with a normative juridical approach. The results of the research show that this rule can be applied in several fiqh munakahat issues such as if there is doubt about the validity of the marriage due to a dispute between the two witnesses, doubt about the pronunciation of the husband's talaq kinayah towards his wife, doubt in determining when the woman's 'iddah period ends after her husband divorces her and various other munakahat fiqh issues.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental challenge for young learners, particularly in Islamic elementary school environments where traditional textbook-based methods often lead to passive engagement and limited memory retention.
