Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has created a new challenge for teacher training: bridging the digital divide. This qualitative study, conducted at Universitas Sebelas Maret and Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta in Indonesia, explores this gap through the lens of pre-service teachers and faculty. Through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, the study uncovers the complexities of this transition, revealing a critical need for enhanced digital literacy, expanded access to resources, and robust institutional support. For instance, many pre-service teachers expressed feelings of being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new technologies and lacked confidence in their ability to effectively integrate them into their future classrooms. The study also revealed a significant gap between the availability of technology and the capacity of pre-service teachers to use it effectively. While many universities provided access to computers and internet, they often lacked the necessary infrastructure and training to support teachers in developing their digital skills. This research highlights the urgent need for a more responsive approach to teacher training in the digital age, one that empowers educators to effectively embrace technology while nurturing a love for learning in their students. By creating a more robust teacher training ecosystem that addresses the unique challenges of a tech-driven education landscape, we can ensure that all students have access to high-quality, engaging, and equitable learning experiences.

Abstract

Through the prism of X-Bar theory, this research explores the complex world of Arabic nounphrases, contrasting and comparing their syntactic patterns with those of the English language. A keycomponent of linguistic study is the examination of noun phrases since it reveals the structuraldifferences and similarities between Arabic and English, two linguistically dissimilar languages. Themain goal of this research is to analyse how the distinctive structural characteristics of Arabic nounphrases differ from those of their English counterparts while taking into account the X-Bar theoryframework. Using a comparative methodology, this research examines the distinctive characteristics ofArabic noun phrases interact with the X-Bar theory. It also explores the consequences of these syntacticdifferences. This study sheds light on the syntactic examination of Arabic noun phrases within theframework of X-Bar theory. It also highlights the distinctions and similarities between Arabic andEnglish noun phrases. The fields of syntax, language typology, and linguistic variety will benefit greatlyfrom the study's conclusions.

Abstract

This research explores the complex field of Arabic diglossia, with a particular emphasis on how language attitudes and identity formation are constructed within this framework. The research includes 26 native Arabic speakers who are studying in Indonesia, with a focus on both high (Modern Standard Arabic, MSA) and low (regional dialects) types. This study use descriptive qualitative study explores the intricate sociolinguistic dynamics of Arabic diglossia by examining the perspectives of Arabic speakers. Participants, proficient in both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and regional dialects, revealed a prevailing positive attitude toward MSA, particularly in formal and academic contexts, underlining its perceived prestige associated with intellectual discourse, cultural preservation, and historical continuity. Contrasting attitudes toward regional dialects emerged, ranging from strong attachments to pragmatic views, underscoring the complexity of individual language attitudes. Contextual appropriateness played a crucial role in language choices, with MSA favoured in formal settings and regional dialects in informal interactions. The study unravelled the interplay between language choices and identity, highlighting varied degrees of identification with pan-Arab and local/regional identities. Zoom Meetings shed light on the difficulties in switching between MSA and regional languages and offered insights into diglossia competency. Sociocultural adaptations demonstrated how language can be flexible in response to a range of situations. This study emphasizes the intricacies of linguistic attitudes, identity development, and adaptive language usage in multilingual environments, adding nuanced views to our knowledge of Arabic diglossia
