Abstract

The aims of the current research are threefold. First, it aimed to find out the motivations of students in Islamic education programs to choose an EMI program. Secondly, it was conducted to reveal the student satisfaction with the EMI program. Third, it sought to explore the difficulties or challenges perceived by students in the EMI program. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying 22 students from an international class at an Islamic state university in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. The results revealed that students were mainly motivated by the need to access international publications, improve English proficiency, and enhance career prospects. Most participants felt that the program offered positive challenges, boosted motivation, and improved their vocabulary related to their courses. Additionally, many students expressed satisfaction with their lecturers' spoken English and the simplified content delivered in English. In terms of challenges, nearly half of the students reported difficulties in understanding lectures and course contents. Other challenges included writing notes and following peer discussions. These insights highlight the need for targeted support and instructional strategies to address the linguistic demands of EMI programs in the Indonesian Islamic higher education context.

Abstract

Children’s storybooks not only depict everyday experiences but also function as educational tools for conveying factual narratives about natural disasters. Despite the growing body of studies on disaster mitigation education, research that specifically investigates children’s storybooks as a medium for disaster literacy remains scarce. This study addressed this gap by analyzing five bilingual children’s storybooks published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology through the Language Centers of Aceh Province and West Java Province. Using the Multimodal Discourse Analysis approach, this research examined communication strategies for disaster literacy, the relationship between text and imagery, and the construction of disaster-related knowledge through concordance analysis. The findings revealed that ‘earthquake’ and ‘tsunami’ appeared most frequently (43 times in total), highlighting a strong thematic focus on natural disasters. This finding reflects the integration of regional linguistic elements. Moreover, the frequent occurrence of the terms ‘flood’ and ‘Cianjur’ (18 instances) indicated references to the flood and the earthquake that affected Cianjur. The books employed narrative and persuasive language styles as communication strategies. The interaction between text and illustrations showed patterns of contradiction, equivalence, and complementarity. The concordance analysis further revealed that the diction used in these books constructed a framework of disaster literacy, including predictive information such as the possibility of a tsunami occurring 500 years later. The study offered pedagogical implications for enhancing children’s awareness of disaster mitigation, which is particularly important in Indonesia, a country highly prone to natural disasters.
