Abstract

This study investigates English teachers’ Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) within Islamic secondary schools, focusing on MTs and MA Muhammadiyah Tanjung Bonai. In these contexts, teachers play a crucial role in evaluating students’ language abilities but often face limited formal training, scarce resources, and curricula dominated by written-test orientations. This research aims to describe teachers’ assessment practices, identify the challenges they face, and explore their professional development needs in LAL. Employing a qualitative multiple case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 4–6 English teachers and school principals, classroom observations, and document analysis of lesson plans, test instruments, rubrics, and assessment policies. Thematic analysis with source triangulation ensured validity. Findings reveal that teachers rely predominantly on traditional written assessments focusing on grammar and vocabulary, with limited understanding of communicative, valid, and reliable assessment principles. Key challenges include the absence of LAL-focused training, insufficient time for formative assessment, resource constraints, and tensions between national exam demands and communicative pedagogy. Despite this, teachers demonstrate growing awareness of authentic, performance-based assessment and feedback practices. The study highlights the unique Islamic school context, contributing novel insights into LAL in rural Indonesia and recommending context-sensitive professional development to enhance assessment competence and equity.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how language is used and negotiated by students (santri) in shaping their religious and social identities at Pondok Pesantren Modern Terpadu Al-Kautsar Al-Akbar, West Sumatra. The pesantren represents a complex multilingual social space where Arabic, Indonesian, and Minangkabau are alternately used across religious, academic, and everyday domains. Adopting a sociolinguistic ethnographic approach, the research employed participant observation, natural interaction recordings, and in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and administrators. Critical discourse analysis was applied to interpret how linguistic practices reflect ideologies, authority, and identity negotiations within the pesantren setting. The findings reveal that Arabic functions as a symbol of piety and religious authority, Indonesian serves as a medium of rationality and academic communication, while Minangkabau affirms intimacy and local identity. Code-switching and code-mixing among these languages are not random but reflect strategic positioning within the intersecting demands of religiosity, institutional discipline, and social solidarity. The study introduces the concept of linguistic piety negotiation, referring to the balancing process between religious devotion and national belonging through language use. This research contributes to sociolinguistic studies of identity by uncovering the interplay between religious and national language ideologies in modern Islamic education, an area rarely explored in Indonesia, and offers insights for understanding the ideological and unifying roles of language in multilingual Muslim communities.
