In the midst of the growing prominence of educational technology, Discord emerges as a promising platform for facilitating language learning. Nevertheless, its role in blended learning models aimed at improving English speaking skills and student engagement, particularly among middle school students, remains insufficiently examined. This study explores the application of Discord, a social communication tool, within a blended learning framework to enhance English speaking skills among middle school learners. Using a qualitative case study method, the research involves 23 purposively sampled students representing diverse levels of English proficiency. Data is gathered through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and document analysis. The literature underscores the critical role of fluent speaking skills in language education, highlighting various influencing factors, such as speaking conditions, attitudes, listening skills, and feedback. Discord's distinctive features such as voice channels and instant messaging facilitate real-time communication and collaborative learning opportunities. While prior studies have predominantly concentrated on traditional educational technologies, they often overlook the potential of emerging platforms like Discord. The findings indicate that Discord significantly enhances interactivity, collaboration, and multimedia integration in learning activities. Educators utilize Discord's functionalities to host engaging discussions, deliver diverse learning materials, and conduct both formative and summative assessments effectively. Students report enhanced collaboration, active participation, and improved language proficiency through the platform's use. Integrating Discord into a blended learning approach offers an innovative and effective solution for language education, addressing the shortcomings of conventional methods and fostering a more engaging learning atmosphere. This research contributes valuable empirical insights into Discord's effectiveness in improving English speaking skills and promoting student engagement, while providing actionable recommendations for educators aiming to integrate advanced technologies into language teaching.Keywords: Discord; Blended Learning; English Speaking Skills; Student Engagement

In the digital era, the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed how people understand and practice religion, creating new opportunities while posing significant challenges to cultural diversity and spiritual values. Using a Systematic Literature Review, this study examines how language and AI reshape religious practices, focusing on their impact on the cross-linguistic interpretation of religious texts, the transformation of communication patterns between congregants and spiritual authorities, and the personalization of religious messages and its implications for pluralism. The findings reveal that AI enhances accessibility to religious texts through automated translation and language-based algorithms while presenting challenges such as algorithmic bias, homogenization of interpretations, and risks to cultural diversity. Homogenization of interpretations refers to the tendency of AI systems to simplify or prioritize dominant theological perspectives, potentially marginalizing alternative or minority interpretations that contribute to the richness of religious traditions. Additionally, AI-powered virtual assistants alter communication patterns with spiritual authorities, and message personalization, defined here as the algorithmic tailoring of religious content to an individual’s digital behavior, preferences, or consumption history, tends to create information isolation that may hinder interfaith dialogue. This study emphasizes the need for ethical and inclusive approaches to AI development to preserve cultural and theological diversity.

Debat calon wakil presiden Pemilu 2024 memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk opini publik dan kebijakan. Namun, penelitian mengenai refleksi ideologi dan kekuasaan dalam wacana debat ini masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis Debat Kedua Calon Wakil Presiden Pemilu 2024 melalui pendekatan Analisis Wacana Kritis berdasarkan teori Roger Fowler dan Ruth Wodak. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi ideologi dan kekuasaan dalam debat dengan menyoroti kosakata seperti klasifikasi, pembatasan pandangan, pertarungan wacana, dan marginalisasi. Penelitian ini juga mengungkap ideologi kekuasaan melalui analisis konteks, representasi, identitas, dan relasi kuasa. Data diambil dari transkrip debat yang disiarkan di kanal YouTube KPU RI pada 22 Desember 2023, dan dianalisis melalui tiga tahap: reduksi data, verifikasi data, dan penyajian data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bagaimana para calon wakil presiden menggunakan retorika dan bahasa untuk membangun citra diri, mempengaruhi audiens, dan menawarkan solusi terhadap masalah ekonomi. Muhaimin Iskandar menekankan pentingnya aturan yang adil bagi rakyat, Gibran Rakabuming Raka fokus pada investasi dan transportasi umum, serta Mahfud MD menyoroti tantangan UMKM. Analisis ini memperlihatkan penggunaan wacana untuk menegosiasikan hubungan kuasa dan mempengaruhi kebijakan publik, memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam studi wacana kritis dan komunikasi politik.

Beyond its traditional communicative purpose, language in the digital era serves as a strategic mechanism for constructing public opinion, affirming group solidarity, and circulating ideological content. However, its usage on social media platforms frequently contributes to increased social polarization. This study investigates the role of language in influencing religious identity and political ideology within digital discourse, emphasizing its dual capacity to foster both social cohesion and division. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted, comprising 44 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, published between 2021 and 2025. The analysis reveals a range of linguistic strategies, including symbolic representations, emotional rhetoric, and ideological framing, all of which play a significant role in constructing group identity and solidarity, while simultaneously intensifying societal fragmentation. These findings are interpreted through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis and Framing Theory. The study highlights the urgent need for stronger regulatory frameworks addressing extremist content and calls for enhanced digital literacy to foster more responsible engagement in online discourse. Furthermore, it recommends future research to examine language use in non-English-speaking communities and to explore the long-term implications of digital communication on identity construction. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between language, ideology, and identity in contemporary digital environments.

Studi ini mengkaji peran tradisi lisan, seni pertunjukan, dan festival budaya dalam melestarikan identitas budaya, serta tantangan yang dihadapi dalam era digitalisasi dan globalisasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan analisis literatur yang mengacu pada publikasi ilmiah terkait. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa tradisi lisan, seperti cerita rakyat dan legenda, telah mengalami transformasi melalui adaptasi ke dalam media modern seperti film, podcast, dan game. Hal ini memungkinkan penyebaran budaya secara lebih luas dan relevan bagi generasi muda. Meski demikian, digitalisasi juga menghadirkan tantangan, terutama terkait dengan distorsi nilai budaya asli akibat komersialisasi dan perubahan dalam format penyampaian. Festival budaya dan seni pertunjukan, meskipun telah beradaptasi dengan tuntutan zaman, tetap mempertahankan esensi spiritual dan sosial dalam masyarakat. Temuan ini menunjukkan pentingnya pendekatan berbasis teknologi yang melibatkan komunitas budaya dalam proses dokumentasi dan pelestarian. Sebagai kesimpulan, pelestarian tradisi lisan dan budaya harus dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara inovasi dan keaslian, serta menciptakan ruang untuk kolaborasi antara generasi muda, komunitas adat, dan sektor industri kreatif guna menjaga keberlanjutan budaya di era modern.
