Abstract

The move from teacher-centered to learner-centered pedagogy, which empowered students to take charge of their learning, has attracted the researcher to conduct this study. This paper explored the types of vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) used by intermediate learners of English as a foreign language in Lampung universities and the relationship between VLSs and their speaking ability. It also attempted to find out the most-used and least-used strategies for learning the vocabulary of the English language. It adopted a quantitative correlational research design. One hundred seventy-nine participants as intermediate learners from nine different universities in Lampung participated in this study. An adopted 50-item questionnaire of vocabulary learning strategies was used for data collection. This questionnaire was distributed in two separate sessions: online via the Google Form link and offline through a printed questionnaire. The descriptive statistics analysis of the questionnaire's responses showed that the participants were medium strategy users (mean=3,11). Determination and memory strategies were the most frequently used, while social was the least used. Pearson correlation coefficient on SPSS revealed a fragile relationship between VLSs and the participants' speaking ability where the value is r< 0,30 (r= 0,089). Finally, it is recommended that the teachers help their students become initiative and take responsibility for their success by providing them with a sense of vocabulary learning strategies to enhance their vocabulary knowledge. Moreover, teachers should present a wide range of (VLSs) to their students for both a classroom-related setting and self-directed vocabulary learning.

Abstract

This study examines the factors influencing zakat funds in South Sulawesi Province using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method. The zakat funds in this study focus on zakat collections in 2022 across 24 regencies and cities in South Sulawesi Province. A gap in the existing literature was identified in previous studies, which generally relied on global regression and did not account for spatial variation across regions. This study utilized secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), with three independent variables: Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), the Human Development Index (HDI), and the Muslim population. The GWR method was applied to capture local parameter variations that may differ across regions. The results indicate that the GWR model performs better than the multiple linear regression model, as evidenced by lower AIC values and smaller residuals. The Muslim population variable has a positive and significant effect on zakat funds, whereas the GRDP and HDI variables do not show significant effects. These results indicate that demographic factors, particularly the Muslim population, are the dominant factors influencing zakat funds in South Sulawesi Province. Therefore, region-based zakat management must take into account local social, economic, and demographic characteristics to ensure that zakat collection strategies are implemented more effectively. These findings contribute to the development of data-driven zakat policies that account for regional considerations in Indonesia.
