Abstract

Most junior high schools do not give enough attention to designing and implementing communication between students and teachers. The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method aims to address the challenges faced in speaking activities and make students more interested in interacting with local culture-based texts. Every student should take the opportunity to communicate with their peers. This research is an experimental study conducted at SMPN 18 Aceh Tengah, focusing on eighth-grade students. The researcher employed quasi-experimental research, with the experimental group in class VIII A taught using CLT, while the control group in class VIII B was taught using conventional activities. Both classes took a pre-test at the beginning. Before the treatment, the two groups were balanced, starting from the same level. The post-test was administered at the end, after the treatment. The data collection instrument was a speaking test. The data were analyzed using t-test computation, and the collected data underwent descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The research findings indicated a significant difference in the students’ speaking ability between the experimental group, who were taught using CLT, and those taught using conventional activities as demonstrated by the t-test. The t-observed value was higher than the t-table value (3.404 > 2.682 with df 48 at 10%). The probability value of 0.01 was lower than the significance level (0.01 < 0.05). In contrast, the control group showed a t-test result (1.393 < 2.682 with df 48 at 10%) and a probability value of 0.170, which was higher than the significance level (0.170 > 0.05). Based on the hypothesis analysis, the score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, leading to the conclusion that using CLT based on local culture (Budaya Gayonese) in language teaching effectively improves students’ speaking ability.

The study purpose was to examine the management strategies of Islamic education in responding to the challenges of modernity in Malaysia. The focus of the study is on educational practices at Tadika Perpaduan Batu Lancang, Penang, in integrating Islamic values with contemporary educational demands. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation and interviews conducted during the International Community Service (KPM) and Field Experience Program (PPL) involving students from STIT Al Washliyah Aceh Tengah. The data were analyzed thematically to identify key educational management strategies. The results show that Islamic education in Malaysia adopts an adaptive approach toward modernity. Tadika Perpaduan Batu Lancang integrates spiritual, social, and technological aspects in its educational management, while strengthening students’ moral and character development. These practices are aligned with national education policies, including the J-QAF program. The study concludes that Islamic education management in Malaysia is able to balance religious values with modern educational demands. This integrative approach provides a relevant model for the development of Islamic education in the contemporary global context.
