Abstract

ABSTRACT The Meubobo alang tradition is a form of intangible cultural heritage that is still preserved by the Kluet community in South Aceh. This ritual is an important part of the Sunat rasul (Prophetic Circumcision) procession. In this ritual, the boy to be circumcised is paraded using an alang (a sedan chair or litter adorned with traditional ornaments), accompanied by prayers and various symbols of respect. This study was aimed to be uncovered the cultural meaning, historical background, and social function of the Meubobo alang tradition within the life structure of the Kluet community. Using a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method, data was collected through direct field observation, in-depth interviews with customary figures and families who practice the tradition, as well as the review of cultural documents. The research findings indicate that Meubobo alang does not only serve as a series of ceremonial activities but also contains spiritual, symbolic, and social values deeply rooted in the local culture. This tradition plays a role in maintaining harmonious family relations, reinforcing ethnic identity, and serving as a medium for transmitting moral values and character to the younger generation. Amidst the current of change and the influence of modernization, Meubobo alang maintains an important position as a form of local wisdom preservation that unites customary values with the principles of Islamic teachings. Thus, this tradition not only reflects cultural continuity but also demonstrates the Kluet community’s ability to preserve their identity and ancestral values.

Abstract

Developing descriptive writing skills remains a major challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in vocational higher education where instruction is often dominated by conventional classroom practices. Although outdoor learning is promising, empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in improving descriptive writing among vocational engineering students is limited. This study investigated the effectiveness of outdoor learning in enhancing EFL descriptive writing skills among Industrial Engineering students at Politeknik Aceh Selatan, Indonesia. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed with 48 students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were gathered through writing tests and perception questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, the Mann-Whitney U Test, and effect size analysis. The findings revealed that students in the outdoor learning group demonstrated substantially greater improvement than those in conventional instruction. The experimental group’s mean increased from 64.79 to 83.25, while the control group improved from 66.25 to 77.13. Significant improvements were confirmed within the experimental group (Z = -4.302, p < .001), alongside significant posttest differences between groups (U = 3.000, Z = -5.925, p < .001). Large effect sizes were identified for both tests (r = .878 and r = .855). Furthermore, questionnaire results indicated that students perceived outdoor learning as highly effective in stimulating creativity, motivation, and engagement, supporting its integration into English language instruction for engineering students.
