Abstract

The rise of social media has significantly impacted various aspects of education, including language learning. Social media platforms offer interactive and engaging environments where learners can practice and develop language skills outside the traditional classroom setting. This study aims to evaluate the role of social media in enhancing language learning, focusing on its effectiveness in improving learners’ communication skills, vocabulary acquisition, and cultural awareness. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data were collected from 200 language learners who actively use social media for educational purposes. The quantitative analysis focused on measuring improvements in language proficiency, while qualitative interviews provided deeper insights into learner experiences and the specific ways social media platforms support language development. The results indicate that 80% of participants reported improvements in their communication skills, particularly in informal conversation and writing, through social media interactions. Additionally, 70% of learners noted significant vocabulary acquisition due to exposure to native speakers and authentic language content. The study also revealed that social media enhances cultural understanding by exposing learners to diverse language contexts and real-world usage. In conclusion, social media plays a valuable role in enhancing language learning by providing learners with accessible and interactive platforms to practice and improve their skills. However, its effectiveness depends on the learner’s level of engagement and the quality of content consumed. Future research should explore strategies for optimizing social media use in formal language education settings.

Abstract

The increasing demand for adaptable, collaborative, and innovative professionals has positioned 21st century skills—such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration—at the center of educational priorities worldwide. Traditional instruction often fails to cultivate these competencies, prompting the need for more experiential, student-centered learning models. Project-Based Learning (PBL), with its emphasis on real-world problem-solving and interdisciplinary inquiry, has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach to support the development of these essential skills. This study aims to assess the impact of PBL on secondary students’ acquisition of key 21st century skills. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 160 students divided into experimental (PBL) and control (conventional instruction) groups. Over ten weeks, the experimental group engaged in structured project cycles aligned with curriculum standards, while the control group followed traditional content delivery. Pre- and post-intervention assessments, student reflections, and teacher evaluations were analyzed to measure skill development. Results revealed that students in the PBL group showed statistically significant improvements in collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking compared to the control group. Teachers also reported increased learner autonomy and engagement. The study concludes that PBL is a viable strategy for fostering 21st century competencies in contemporary classrooms.

However, many language education programs overlook the importance of cultural sensitivity, which can impact student engagement and comprehension. This research aims to identify effective methods and best practices for integrating cultural sensitivity into language education, enhancing both linguistic and intercultural competence among learners. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving case studies and interviews with 30 language educators from diverse educational institutions. Data was collected to explore educators’ experiences and strategies for incorporating cultural sensitivity into their teaching. The study also analyzed classroom practices to determine which methods were most effective in fostering cultural awareness. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify common practices and challenges faced by educators in implementing culturally sensitive teaching strategies. The findings reveal that integrating cultural sensitivity into language education leads to higher student engagement, deeper understanding of cultural context, and improved language proficiency. Best practices identified include the use of culturally relevant materials, facilitating discussions around cultural diversity, and encouraging students to share their own cultural backgrounds. Educators noted that these practices not only enhance language skills but also build students’ empathy and openness toward diverse cultures. This study concludes that culturally sensitive methods are essential for effective language education, providing students with the skills needed for meaningful intercultural communication. Future research should focus on developing scalable frameworks to support culturally sensitive teaching across varied educational contexts.

Abstract

Gender discourse in Islam has tended to focus on women's issues, while comprehensive analysis of men's roles and responsibilities is still limited. This study aims to examine how men's roles are constructed, interpreted, and transformed in the context of contemporary Islamic society. The research methodology uses textual analysis of primary Islamic sources, as well as a literature review of current research on gender and Islam. The results of the study indicate that Islam establishes the position of men based on the principle of spiritual equality with women, but provides a special role in family and community leadership. The concept of male qawwamah (leadership) in the family is interpreted not as patriarchal domination, but as a mandate that demands material and spiritual responsibility. In the public sphere, men have a strategic role in political, social, and religious leadership with the principles of deliberation and justice. Contemporary social transformations, including urbanization and increasing participation of women in education and the economy, according to a more flexible reinterpretation of gender roles without sacrificing fundamental Islamic values. This study recommends the development of further interdisciplinary studies on gender dynamics in contemporary Muslim societies to support the creation of a gender-just society based on Islamic values.

Abstract

Decentralization has emerged as a significant trend in forest governance across Southeast Asia, aiming to enhance local participation and improve resource management. While intended to empower local communities, the actual impacts of decentralization on forest governance remain poorly understood. This study investigates how decentralization affects governance structures, stakeholder engagement, and environmental outcomes in the region. The research aims to assess the effects of decentralization on forest governance by examining case studies from selected Southeast Asian countries. The study seeks to identify both positive and negative outcomes, focusing on how local governance influences forest conservation and management practices. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining qualitative interviews, surveys, and document analysis. Data were collected from government officials, local community members, and NGOs involved in forest management. Comparative analysis of case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines provided insights into the varying impacts of decentralization. Findings indicate that decentralization can enhance local participation and accountability in forest governance. However, challenges such as inadequate capacity, corruption, and conflicting interests often hinder effective implementation. Case studies revealed diverse outcomes, where successful decentralization led to improved resource management, while in other instances, it exacerbated existing inequalities. The research highlights the complex relationship between decentralization and forest governance in Southeast Asia. Effective decentralization requires supportive policies, capacity building, and genuine stakeholder engagement to achieve sustainable forest management. The study underscores the need for ongoing evaluation of decentralization processes to ensure they meet both conservation and community objectives effectively.
