Abstract

This research aims to better understand the interplay between Indonesian students' socioeconomic background, their views on the efficacy of language instruction, and the overall results of their language classes. This study aimed to achieve that goal by including 350 undergraduate students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang who were taking English-language courses. Based on their socioeconomic status, they were categorized. In response to a questionnaire, they shared their views on the best ways to acquire a second language in various linguistic settings. To ensure that all participants were on the same page in terms of their overall level of proficiency or the results of their language study, they were also given a practice test of the TOEFL exam. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and other parametric statistical tests were applied to the quantitative data. The results showed that the students' socioeconomic position had a positive correlation with the overall language learning outcome. In addition, the results showed that the participants' ideas about language learning had a significant impact on their language learning outcomes. The results suggest that both the rate of language acquisition and the likelihood of measurement errors can be improved provided language instructors have the information they need to help their students overcome negative beliefs.

Abstract

Background: The global halal industry is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by evolving Muslim consumer behaviors that increasingly intersect with sustainability and digital transformation. Despite its growth, a significant gap persists between conventional sharia compliance and modern expectations for ethical transparency. Objective: This study aims to identify shifting patterns in Muslim consumer behavior, analyze the gap between consumer expectations and industry capacity, and formulate adaptive strategies—specifically focusing on digitalization and regulatory harmonization within the ASEAN context. Methodology: A qualitative approach was employed, integrating a comprehensive literature review with in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 25 key informants. Participants included Muslim consumers (aged 18–45) from Indonesia, Malaysia, the UK, and Japan, alongside industry actors and policymakers. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis to capture nuanced perspectives on halal-ṭayyib and global business ethics. Findings: The results reveal three critical dimensions for the industry’s future: (1) a shift in consumer demand toward halal-ṭayyib, encompassing quality and global ethical standards; (2) the pivotal role of digital technologies, such as Blockchain and IoT, in enhancing supply chain traceability; and (3) the urgent need for international regulatory harmonization, exemplified by the proposed Halal Industry Administration (HIA) in the Philippines. Conclusion: This study contributes to theoretical discourse by integrating Islamic consumption patterns with Institutional Theory and sustainability frameworks. It asserts that halal governance is a multidimensional construct in which Sharia integrity must align with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
