The study aims to gather information about a variety of studies discussing critical thinking skills in Indonesia using content analysis in many scientific language education journals published in Indonesia. This study used content analysis. Data were obtained by collecting papers that had been published in language education publications across Indonesia from 2016 to 2023, reading carefully, classifying based on the research instrument, and data was analyzed using classical content analysis technique.  The results of this study, there have been more publications over the last three years that highlight critical thinking abilities. The majority of the research design used in those papers was quantitative. Furthermore, the most targeted subjects and materials were "language acquisition" and senior high school students in their tenth grade. The most widely used data analysis technique and instrument were the t-test and the test. The study suggests future studies to enhance critical thinking skills by expanding research writing options, selecting appropriate data collection instruments, validating findings, and using precise data analysis methods.

Abstract

The advancement of the movie industry makes it undeniable that wars between countries have occurred until now. It's just that the way of fighting is different. This study can conceptually illustrate the strategy of a country to attack another country by reconstructing the country's image negatively. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of Japan as a colonizer in a Korean film entitled "Exhuma." This study employed a qualitative research design. The Exhuma film's symbol analysis research requires a wide range of data sources to support the interpretation of its meaning and messages. The primary source of data is the Exhuma film, where the researcher thoroughly examines the symbol elements to determine which symbols are there. The data is analyzed in seven stages: identification of symbols, analysis of literal meaning, relationship of symbols with context, consideration of interpretation, strengthening interpretation with supporting evidence, relationship of interpretation with themes, and drawing conclusions about the findings. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that in the film Exhuma, Japan is represented as a colonizer with two categories of historical and mythical symbols. Historical symbols are signs or symbols that depict the atrocities of Japanese colonization, based on adaptations of historical facts. While mystical symbols are signs or symbols that represent the atrocities of Japanese colonization based on supernatural or mystical beliefs and myths in the beliefs and culture of South Korean society.

Abstract

In an age where digital media profoundly influences early childhood experiences, the significance of animated cartoons in foreign language acquisition has attracted increased academic attention. Although formal instruction is fundamental to language education, informal, media-based exposure especially via cartoons presents a potentially potent yet underexamined pathway for language acquisition. This study rigorously analyzes 38 peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed articles to investigate the acquisition of foreign languages by children through animated cartoons, emphasizing the psychological comfort and inherent nature of the learning process. The study utilizes a critical review methodology to synthesize empirical data from applied linguistics, educational psychology, and media studies. The investigation demonstrates that cartoons facilitate quantifiable improvements in vocabulary and phonological awareness, frequently without explicit teaching. Children interact with foreign-language material in a psychologically low-pressure setting, supported by elements such as visual redundancy, repetition, and emotional connections to characters. Contextual factors, including as age, frequency of exposure, and parental mediation, additionally influence learning outcomes. These findings highlight the efficacy of animated cartoons as supplementary resources in early language education, especially in environments with restricted formal instruction. The study enhances the existing literature promoting multimodal, emotionally supportive learning settings and provides practical implications for educators, parents, and policymakers aiming to utilize media for language development.

Abstract

This study discusses the definition of hadith and the importance of matn criticism in maintaining the quality of hadith. Etymologically, hadith has several meanings such as conversation, news, and something new. The terminology of hadith encompasses everything related to Prophet Muhammad SAW, including his words, actions, and attributes. The elements of hadith consist of sanad (chain of narration), matn (text of the hadith), and rawi (narrator of the hadith). Matn criticism means the analysis of the hadith content, aimed at ensuring the validity of hadith by considering the aspects of sanad and matn. Therefore, this activity is crucial to distinguish between sahih (authentic) and daif (weak) hadiths and avoid accepting incorrect narrations. The study also highlights that matn criticism is a positive effort to preserve the purity of hadith and deepen understanding of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
