This study examines the challenges of teaching English, specifically listening comprehension, at MA Alhijrah Cimaung. Conventional teaching methods often fail to engage students effectively, leading to disinterest and a gap between learning objectives and achievement. To address this, the study explores the integration of technology, specifically the Powtoon app, as an innovative solution to improve the learning process. The research reveals a significant improvement in listening comprehension for students using Powtoon compared to those in the control group using traditional methods. While the effect size is relatively small, this finding provides concrete evidence of Powtoon's potential in enhancing English language learning at the high school level. Incorporating Powtoon into the curriculum at MA Alhijrah Cimaung can greatly benefit students' understanding of narrative text. The study recommends further integration of technology in English language teaching and suggests conducting additional research to explore the impact of technology on student learning. These efforts aim to enhance educational practices and improve the overall quality of education in schools.

This qualitative narrative inquiry delves into the intricate relationship between foreign language learning and the cultivation of cultural empathy among students enrolled in the English and Japanese language programs at Prima Bangsa Institute. Employing a narrative inquiry approach, the study meticulously analyzes the lived experiences, perceptions, and transformative journeys of five purposively selected students through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The emergent findings unequivocally demonstrate that a culturally contextualized and experiential learning environment rich with authentic materials such as contemporary music, popular anime, structured debates, and interactive speaking events significantly enhances learners' cultural awareness, deepens their emotional sensitivity, and sharpens their perspective-taking abilities. Beyond mere linguistic proficiency, these language classes are shown to be instrumental in shaping attitudes of tolerance, fostering profound reflection, and nurturing robust intercultural sensitivity. This research critically contributes to the burgeoning field of intercultural pedagogy within language education, offering compelling empirical evidence that underscores the vital importance of implementing experiential, reflective, and culturally integrated curricula within the landscape of Indonesian higher education. The study advocates for a paradigm shift from purely linguistic acquisition to a more holistic approach that prioritizes the development of global citizens capable of empathetic cross-cultural engagement.

This study aims to explore the integration of local cultures in the English language learning process at the high school level. In the context of globalization and the dominance of foreign cultures in English teaching materials, it is important to preserve local identity and enrich students' learning experiences through contextual and meaningful approaches. Using a qualitative approach, this study involved 42 respondents consisting of teachers and students from various regions in Cirebon. Data was collected through the Goggle Form open questionnaire. To understand the perception of experience, as well as teaching practices that involve elements of local culture. The results of this study show that the integration of local cultures can increase students' motivation to learn, strengthen their sense of cultural identity, and encourage the use of English in contexts relevant to their lives. Cultural elements such as folklore, traditional dances, special foods, local festivals are used creatively in teaching and learning activities. However, challenges also arise, such as a lack of resources, difficulties in designing culturally-based materials, and the need for in-depth teacher training. This study recommends the development of education policies that support the systematic inclusion of local culture in foreign language teaching, as well as strengthening the capacity of teachers in implementing culture-based approaches.

This study aims to analyze the song Mangu by Fourtwnty as a symbolic medium that reflects the tension in interfaith and cultural relations in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and narrative method, this study examines the relationship between song lyrics and the personal experience of an informant named Marhamah Khoirunnisa, who is in a relationship with a couple of different faiths and cultures. The findings show that Mangu's song is not only an expression of personal grief, but also contains a collective narrative of love that is hindered by religious boundaries, family pressure, and established social norms. Lyrics like "you there, I'm across from you" contain symbolic meanings that reflect emotional and structural distances that are difficult to bridge. This song proves to be a means of emotional catharsis and identity negotiation for individuals who are at the intersection of love and trust. Thus, Mangu is positioned as a cultural text that plays a role in representing the complexity of Indonesia's diversity through the medium of music.

This research analyzes the dynamics of transcultural communication and language use in two multicultural Islamic educational institutions, Pondok Pesantren Buntet and Pondok Qur'an Birruna Putri, through a comparative study of their contrasting language policies and practices. Using a qualitative approach, this study reveals how different language policies fundamentally shape the intercultural communication and adaptation experiences of santri. At Pondok Pesantren Buntet, the dominance of the Cirebon regional language encourages organic and informal language adaptation, where linguistic misunderstandings turn into positive experiences that strengthen relationships and foster inclusivity based on traditional family values. In contrast, Pondok Qur'an Birruna Putri with its strict obligation to use Arabic and English, demonstrates accelerated foreign language acquisition and communication unification amidst regional diversity, turning linguistic challenges into a drive for understanding and building unity through a universal language. Overall, this study highlights that the diversity of santri backgrounds is both a strength and a challenge, and the leadership role of kyai and ustadz/ustadzah is crucial in instilling values of tolerance and unity that transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the management of transcultural communication in pesantren through diverse language strategies.

The purpose of this research is to examine gender representation in the English for Nusantara textbook for Grade VIII and to explore students’ perceptions of these representations. The research method employed is a qualitative approach involving critical discourse analysis and semi-structured interviews. The analysis draws on Van Dijk’s Socio-cognitive Approach to examine how gender is represented semantically, syntactically, rhetorically, and visually. Data was collected from a criteria-based sample of two students at SMP Negeri 10 Cirebon, both of whom demonstrated strong English proficiency. The results showed revealed that male characters are predominantly represented in active, central roles across stories, visuals, and sentence structures. In contrast, female characters tend to occupy background or passive roles and are often linked with emotional, domestic, or supportive functions. The use of language also shows a significant disparity in pronoun frequency and character traits, with males described using positive and dynamic adjectives, while females are more often associated with personal appearance and social limitations. The findings suggest that textbooks should strive for balanced portrayals to avoid reinforcing traditional gender stereotypes.

This research examines the construction and differentiation of “god” and “evil” moral identities in the movie The School for God and Evil by applying a Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The analysis focuses on four main aspects: characters' speech styles, intonation patterns, lexical choices, and framing through discourse that reflects ideological discourse. The research data in the form of dialog transcripts of the central characters-Agatha, Sophie, Professor Dovey, Lady Lesso, and Rhian-are examined using Fairclough's three-dimensional framework (text analysis, discourse practices, and social practices) as well as van Dijk's positive self-presentation and negative otherpresentation strategies. The findings reveal that the “god” character displays reflective speech with stable intonation and empathic diction, while the “bad” character uses short, dramaticallytoned utterances with diction that emphasizes power. This combination of verbal strategies and multimodal elements systematically reproduces moral dichotomies and shapes the construction of audience perceptions. This finding confirms the role of film discourse as an ideological tool in the cultivation and reproduction of moral values.
