Abstract

Online learning is not always about using learning platforms explicitly designed for learning. This study aimed to reveal the students' perception of using one social media as the primary learning platform in an extensive reading subject as one of the language learning strategies. This case study used open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews as the instruments to gather the data. There were 64 students (52 females and 12 males) from three classes and a lecturer, chosen using purposive sampling as the participants. The findings showed that the use of Facebook as one of the social media platforms for online learning was considerably effective and satisfying, and the students' questionnaire results and lecturer interviews revealed that Facebook has easy-to-use features and could be used as communication media. This study suggests that educators were expected to start broadening the use of their social media applications so those can also be used as platforms for their teaching activities in the classroom.

PurposeThis study examines the politeness strategies employed by male and female students and its differences across genders. MethodTo collect data for this qualitative study, 16 participants (with equally eight male and female students) were purposefully opted from the Department of English Language Education at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Eleven situations created to obtain responses from students using a semi-structured interview. The framework of analysis is based on Brown and Levinson’s politeness strategy. Results/FindingsThe study found that male and female students use four politeness strategies. They are (a) bald on record; (b) positive politeness; (c) negative politeness; and (d) off-record. The results indicated that positive politeness is the most prevalent strategy, while bald on record is the least utilized strategy. The politeness strategy was utilized when the participants wanted to express their view to classmates or lecturers. The students performed the strategy because they wanted to support their beliefs or statements unswervingly. Male students used more positive politeness and expresses ideas more directly than female students. ConclusionThe study concluded that both male and female students at the Department of English Language Education, UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh exercised all varieties of politeness strategies. The most applied approaches were positive politeness strategy, followed by the negative politeness strategy, off-record and eventually bald on record as the least frequent politeness strategy.

Abstract

PurposeThis mixed-methods study aimed to explore how the Faculty of Humanities carried out Journal Article Writing Assistance Program (JAWAP) in 2021, and determine its contribution to the participants’ English articles. MethodThis mixed methods research used a convergent mixed methods design that relied on 17 participants’ perception towards its implementation as the main data collected using questionnaire, interview, and document analysis. The quantitative data were analyzed using correlational statistics and compared with qualitative data to confirm or dis-confirm each other.  FindingsThe study revealed that JAWAP worked in an online scheme where the communication between the participants and reviewers did not occur intensively. The study identified weaknesses in the review process, such as the article’s compliance with the author guidelines, lack of interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration with others, and the deservedness to be published in internationally journals. However, the study shows the JAWAP contributed significantly to the participants’ English articles.   ConclusionJAWAP as an assistance program can help the participants to write quality English articles. To increase its contribution to the English article quality, the faculty should conduct the program intensively during the writing process openly in an intensive communication between reviewers and participants in small groups.

Abstract

AbstractThere has been a wide acknowledgment that textbooks are a common medium of classroom instruction. Simulatenously, a growing body of research have found that ELT textbooks have promoted certain ideology, namely neoliberalism. This study concerns the endorsement of neoliberalism and how it is embedded in both locally-developed and internatonally-published ELT textbooks used in Indonesia. Using content analysis, the finding reveals that all the chosen textbooks contain the neoliberal mentality. The mandatory local textbook focuses on how to promote competition, while the local private textbook highlights material wealth and competition. On the other hand, the imported global textbook endorses human capital agenda. In other words, each textbook endorses different neoliberal values. The findings in this study imply the need for critical reading before the textbooks are prescribed to be used especially when the potential readers of the textbooks have different cultural values and learning objectives than those of commonly reproduced neoliberal values in imported ELT textbooks as previous studies found.AbstrakTidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa buku sebagai bahan ajar telah menjadi media paling populer dalam kegiatan ajar-mengajar di kelas. Penelitian sebelumnya juga menemukan bahwa buku ajar bahasa Inggris telah menjadi media untuk menyebarkan ideologi, salah satunya yaitu neoloberalisme. Oleh karena itu, studi ini bertujuan untuk meneliti adanya ideologi neoliberalisme dan bagaimana ideologi tersebut direpresentasikan dalam buku ajar bahasa Inggris baik yang diproduksi secara lokal maupun impor. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan konten analisis, studi ini menemukan bahwa dalam buku bahan ajar bahasa Inggris, terdapat nilai-nilai ideologi neoliberalisme. Buku bahan ajar wajib nasional berfokus pada glorifikasi kompetisi. Sedangkan buku bahan ajar domestik yang lain mementingkan kekayaan materi dan kompetisi. Di sisi lain, buku bahan ajar bahasa Inggris impor lebih menonjolkan human capital sebagai nilai neoliberalismenya. Melihat temuan tersebut, diperlukan critical reading sebelum suatu buku direkomendasikan untuk dijadikan bahan ajar terutama ketika target pengguna buku tersebut memiliki budaya dan juga nilai-nilai ideologi yang berbeda dari ideologi yang, menurut penelitian sebelumnya, kerap kali direproduksi dalam buku ajar bahasa Inggris, yaitu neoliberalisme.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the purification or modernization performed by Muhammadiyah in Sufism, especially concerning the practical mysticism in sufi order and philosophical mysticism on the concepts of ittihād, hulūl, and wahdat al wujūd. The research data is gathered from the official document Muhammadiyah records, such as fatwas of Muhammadiyah's Majlis Tarjih and Tajdid, Hamka's thoughts and AR Fakhruddin’s performance as former leaders of Muhammadiyah. This study uses content analysis to determine the position of Muhammadiyah's views on the early Sufi. The result showed that tajdīd performed by Muhammadiyah is called purification and it harmonious with modern life. It differs with the meaning and practices of early Sufism.  Muhammadiyah's position towards tarīqa is positive as long as the understanding and practice of Islam are derived from the guidance of the Qur'an and valid Sunnah. As for the concepts of ittihād, hulūl and wahdat al-wujūd, Muhammadiyah rejects them because there is an element of equating God with humans or pantheism, which has no basis in the Qur'an and Sunnah. This rejection is in line with what has been done by early Sufism scholars such as al-Sarrāj, al-Juwairī, al-Syahrastānī, and al-Kalabāżī.

Abstract

This study evaluates how accurately four freely accessible translation systems (Google Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT, and Gemini) render 67 computer-specific terms from English to Indonesian. All 67 terms gathered from Word 2016 for Professionals for Dummies were translated by each system. Prompts were used to create simple sentences in which the specific terms were employed. The translations were then rated independently and quantitatively using Nababan’s translation quality assessment model theory which assesses translation accuracy into three categories, accurate, less accurate, and inaccurate.  Of the 21 data sampling analyzed, Google Translate produced 16 accurate translations, 4 less accurate translations, and 1 inaccurate translation. DeepL produced 15 accurate translations, 6 less accurate translations, and 0 inaccurate translations. ChatGPT produced 18 accurate translations, 3 less accurate translations, and 0 inaccurate translations. Gemini produced 18 accurate translations, 3 less accurate translations, and 0 inaccurate translations. Then, it can be concluded that both ChatGPT dan Gemini outperform Google Translate and DeepL by average accuracy score of 2.85 compared to 2.71.

Abstract

Purpose Since the early 2000s, pesantren have been the most talked-about topic in international studies about Indonesian Islam. More and more Indonesian Islamic Higher Education Institutions are being published in academic journals around the world. This has made it easier for pesantren to be represented in Scopus-indexed journals, where these institutions are linked to a wide range of topics, from religious moderation to educational innovation. Since the term "pesantren" has gained significant traction in worldwide academia, it has been linked to a range of notions, from old Islamic boarding schools to contemporary higher education institutions. Method This study employs a specialized corpus of 6,774 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus-indexed journals of Indonesian Islamic Higher Education Institutions (2015-2025) to examine the representation of pesantren in international scholarship through semantic prosody and semantic preference analysis within the Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) framework. Semantic preference identifies the semantic sets associated with the node word 'pesantren' throughout two temporal periods, while semantic prosody analyzes the evaluative context in which the node word appears. An artificial semantic tagger called the UCREL Semantic Analysis System (USAS) is used to find the semantic preference by giving the collocations semantic labels. Result The semantic prosody is then found by looking at the concordance lines. The study finds that the word "pesantren" in Period I (2015–2020) is more likely to be linked to traditional Islamic education, institutional identity, and charismatic leadership. In Period II (2021–2025), it is more likely to be linked to organizational management, higher education, and religious moderation discourse. It also shows that the node word has mostly good prosody in both periods, but that the quality changes from cultural preservation to institutional transformation. Conclusion International scholars are increasingly seeing pesantren in a positive light, not just as conventional schools but also as flexible, adaptable organizations that deal with modern problems like modernization, digitalization, and social growth.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the pronunciation errors made by Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners when pronouncing English words containing silent letters and to explain the factors contributing to these errors. This issue is critical since English orthography often lacks a direct correspondence between graphemes and phonemes, creating significant pedagogical hurdles for non-native speakers. A descriptive-qualitative method was deployed, involving students from SMAN 12 Kota Tangerang as research participants. The instruments consisted of structured pronunciation tasks where participants were asked to pronounce 30 selected English words representing 15 distinct types of silent letters. The collected audio data were transcribed phonetically and analyzed using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy within the error analysis framework proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982). The results demonstrated that pronunciation errors occurred across four systematic forms: addition, misformation, omission, and misordering. The most dominant type of error was addition, where learners explicitly pronounced letters that should remain silent—such as the /b/ in subtle or the /l/ in almond. The findings revealed that these persistent errors were largely influenced by three main factors: learners’ heavy reliance on English orthography, limited exposure to authentic spoken input, and negative interlingual transfer from Bahasa Indonesia, which employs a transparent and highly phonetic spelling system. Consequently, these findings suggest that an increased focus on explicit pronunciation instruction, extensive communicative listening practice, and heightened phonetic awareness is critically needed to help Indonesian EFL learners overcome persistent phonological interference caused by silent letters in English.
