Abstract

This study aimed to discover the visual values—regarding interactive meaning—contained in the “My Next Words” English textbook and used at an international primary school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia using Kress and Van Leuween’s (2006) visual complementarity—only focusing on interactive meaning. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were qualitative in the form of pictures in the textbook. The data were collected through a documentation procedure. From the findings, the interactive meaning found is as follows. primarily it uses long shots for most of the distance; second, it exclusively uses oblique views; and third, it shows both background-free and background-filled photographs. This outcome suggests that the pictures presented in this book are appropriate for the target audience, which is youngsters. For children to understand the concepts and messages presented in the textbook, their vision needs to be more distinct and clear. It is recommended that to produce more thorough and complex conclusions, future research should subcategorize the age in greater detail.

Abstract

The study is intended to see how education finance is regulated at MAS Ar-Risalah Krueng Sabee Aceh Jaya. This study is a case study. Information is obtained through observation, interviews, and information storage. Furthermore, so that the data can be trusted, several stages are carried out, namely the data source triangulation technique. The data analysis technique uses four stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that: (1) The implementation of education financing management includes the process of planning, using funds, monitoring and accountability. (2) Private Madrasahs cannot only depend on sources of funds from the government in fulfilling education funding. (3) Overall, the implementation of education financing management has been well implemented. The limitations in managing education financing at MAS Ar-Risalah Krueng Sabee Aceh Jaya include: (a) The management structure in financing management is still under the auspices of the foundation's management, school principals and treasurers so that there is no adequate supervision and accountability for financing management; (b) Contributions for educational development are determined collectively and adapted to the needs of students.

Abstract

This study investigates phonological shift and accent erosion among Generation Z Acehnese speakers in the West–South coastal region, focusing on the role of social media. Adopting a descriptive-qualitative design, we gathered speech recordings from targeted stimulus sentences, in-depth interviews, and field observations with youth in Meulaboh and Calang, and contrasted them with an adult control group. Praat-assisted analysis traced changes in vowel and consonant realization, stress, and intonation. Findings show systematic simplification: diphthongs such as /eu/ and /oe/ frequently monophthongize to /e/ or /o/; nasal and guttural consonants weaken (e.g., /ng/→/n/, /kh/→/k/); final consonants are dropped in fast speech; and prosody flattens, with Indonesian-like contours replacing Acehnese rise–fall patterns in both declaratives and questions. Interview evidence links these shifts to intensive exposure to standard-language models on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram; code-switching in online interaction; migration to urban centers; and household language policies that prioritize Indonesian for mutual comprehension. The study offers phonology-level evidence of accent erosion in Aceh and clarifies how digital culture mediates language change among minority-language youth. Implications include producing Acehnese-language digital content, integrating phonological awareness into local curricula, and designing community programs that valorize prosody and segmental features. While limited to two towns and a modest sample, the findings provide a baseline for longitudinal monitoring and comparative work across districts and age cohorts, and inform preservation strategies that balance modernization with the maintenance of Acehnese phonological distinctiveness.
