Abstract

This study addresses the critical gap in understanding the evolving roles and functions of applied linguistics (AL) within higher education, particularly its impact on multilingual education, curriculum development, and institutional policies. Using a systematic literature review approach, 24 studies were selected from an initial pool of 2,189, focusing on AL's applications in higher education contexts. The review reveals significant contributions of AL, including innovative teaching methodologies like translanguaging, the integration of technology in language education, and the formulation of inclusive language policies. However, challenges persist, such as the scalability of technology in low-resource environments and the limited empirical validation of multilingual strategies. These findings underscore the need for adaptive educational frameworks that align linguistic theories with practical outcomes. By bridging theoretical insights with real-world applications, this study advocates for AL as a tool to enhance teaching quality, promote linguistic diversity, and address educational inequities. The implications extend beyond academia, offering policymakers and educators actionable strategies to create inclusive and sustainable educational paradigms that reflect the complexities of a globalized academic environment. This research contributes to the broader discourse on fostering equitable, context-sensitive, and innovative approaches in higher education, positioning AL as a cornerstone for addressing contemporary linguistic and pedagogical challenges.

Abstract

This research focuses on the semantic and sociolinguistic dimensions of the word qawwamun in verse 34 of Surah An-Nisa, to examine various interpretations throughout history. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the semantic and sociolinguistic meaning of qawwamun in the Quranic text and to determine its meaning in linguistics and social contexts, to emphasize the concept of a husband's authority within the family. The research explores the linguistics analysis of this term based on its lexical meaning and to compare it with the sociolinguistics the context that influences its interpretation in Muslim societies. Additionally, it discusses various interpretations ranging from traditional understandings, which consider qawwamah as the absolute authority of men, to modern interpretations that emphasize shared responsibilities and equality in the roles of husbands and wives within the family. This research employs inductive, analytical, historical, and critical methods, to compare classical exegetical traditions with contemporary approaches that seek to reinterpret this concept in light of social and cultural changes. The findings indicate that the meaning of qawwamun does not solely refer to male superiority but also encompasses responsibility and leadership based on justice and balance between husband and wife. Therefore, this research recommends re-evaluating the common understanding of a husband's authority in Muslim families.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of local language (Madurese) interference on foreign language (Arabic) acquisition among rural Indonesian santri communities. Recognizing that traditional views often frame interference as a linguistic deficit, this research addresses a gap in the existing literature by exploring the deeper sociolinguistic dynamics and informal language use within rural pesantren settings. Specifically, it aims to analyze (1) forms of local language interference in Arabic, (2) factors causing such interference, and (3) its impact on santri speaking skills. Employing a qualitative-ethnographic design, the study collected data through naturalistic observation and unstructured interviews with 79 Madurese-speaking santri in Gondanglegi sub-district, East Java, analyzing them within a sociolinguistic framework grounded in interference theory and diglossia. Findings reveal significant phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical interference patterns demonstrably linked to the unique sociocultural context of pesantren multilingualism. Critically, these interferences are not merely errors but actively foster community, playfulness, and shared identity, thereby transforming Arabic into a more dynamic and engaging learning experience. This research offers a novel sociolinguistic analysis, arguing that interference in this context functions as an active strategy for religious pedagogy and cultural preservation. It expands translanguaging theory by highlighting the sacred-secular duality in language mixing—a phenomenon rarely documented in traditional Islamic education globally.

Abstract

This research investigated the cultural immersion and pedagogical exchange of pre-service teachers participating in the SEA Teacher program, with focus on its impact on teaching practices and career development in the home country. A phenomenological qualitative design was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with twelve pre-service teachers who participated in the SEA Teacher program in Dong Thap, Vietnam. Therefore, the criteria taken in the selection of participants such as: (1) participation in the full duration of the program, (2) teaching experience in at least one host school in Dong Thap, and (3) willingness to engage in in-depth interviews and reflection. Participants reported increased awareness of the need to adapt teaching methodologies to align with local cultural contexts, which was perceived to improve learning outcomes and foster cultural sensitivity. Language barriers were reframed as opportunities to employ creative instructional strategies, such as games and collaborative activities, which enhanced student engagement. The research also highlighted the role of cultural knowledge, communication skills, and open-mindedness in promoting inclusive learning environments. Findings suggest that integrating culturally responsive pedagogies contributes to a positive and engaging classroom atmosphere. Furthermore, this research identified a need for structured pre-program training, including virtual classroom observations and curriculum workshops with partner institutions. The participants’ readiness may be enhanced with such preparation to design context-specific learning modules and navigate local educational systems effectively.

Abstract

Despite increasing attention to the role of frequency in second and foreign language learning, prior studies have predominantly focused on its relationship with individual learner differences such as motivation, learning styles-strategies, and cultural awareness. However, there remains a notable gap in exploring how varying learning frequencies influence psychological factors, particularly learning resilience, and also the previous research has examined the effects of frequency on cognitive outcomes such as vocabulary and grammar learning or the correlations of listening frequency and speaking skills, few have addressed how distinct levels of learning frequency directly impact both learning resilience and speaking performance. Grounded in self-efficacy and resilience theory, the study aimed at investigating the extent to which differences in learning frequency contribute to variations in EFL students’ learning resilience and speaking performance. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed, integrating a frequency classification questionnaire for learning frequency grouping, a learning resilience scale questionnaire, and an English-speaking performance test for 189 respondents, supplemented by semi-structured interviews for qualitative validation conducted with 36 respondents. All instruments were tested for validity and reliability. Findings indicate that high-frequency learners exhibit superior self-regulation and communicative competence (p=.000 >.05; ηp² = .877), suggests that 87.7% of the variance in resilience and performance was explained by learning frequency, representing an extremely large effect. High-frequency learners exhibited structured routines, adaptive strategies, and greater emotional and cognitive readiness, supporting stronger resilience and speaking performance. In contrast, low-frequency learners showed inconsistent habits, reactive behaviors, and heightened anxiety. Medium-frequency learners demonstrated moderate engagement, with fluctuating outcomes depending on study consistency.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of advanced technological integration, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and neural machine translation (NMT), on the specialization trends and language adaptation strategies within Jordan's translation industry. Despite technology’s promising potential to enhance translation efficiency and expand market reach, concerns persist regarding AI's limited ability to accurately grasp contextual nuances, especially in linguistically and culturally diverse languages like Arabic and English. The study aims to identify current technological usage levels among translation service providers, examine how technology influences specialization within legal, medical and technical translation sectors, and explore language adaptation strategies employed to manage AI-driven translations. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), introduced by Davis (1989), serves as the theoretical framework to assess translators' perceived usefulness and ease of use of these technologies. A qualitative approach employing purposive sampling involved ten participants representing diverse roles in Jordan’s translation industry. The obtained findings indicate significant shifts from traditional manual translation to specialized roles emphasizing quality assurance, post-editing, and terminology management; reveal increased emphasis on cultural localization strategies; and highlight challenges such as AI’s limited cultural comprehension, extensive post-editing requirements and data privacy concerns. The study provides recommendations for educational and operational adjustments to enhance technological integration in translation practices.

Abstract

Manipulation is a form of utterance that has hidden intention (illocutionary force), which is included in a branch of pragmatics. When performing manipulative speech, the speakers influence their victims’ minds so that they can respond the way the speakers want. Therefore, the speakers use manipulation strategies to achieve their intentions. This study aims to identify the manipulation strategies used by the characters in the WandaVision drama series and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. It also examines the translation aspects of the subtitles from English to Indonesian based on translation techniques theory by Molina and Albir (2002), as well as the rule of translation quality assessment made by Nababan, et al (2012). Data analysis in this study uses the document analysis method and Focus Group Discussion involving three raters who are experts in pragmatics and translation theories. The results show that the characters in WandaVision drama series and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie used all 13 manipulation strategies, whose theory was initiated by George K. Simon (2010). Meanwhile, in terms of translation, the translator chose to be more orientated towards the target language, as proved by the dominance of techniques used, such as established equivalence, variation, implisitation, and paraphrase. The overall quality of the translation results is considered very good by the raters, and there are only two types of translation shifts found. The study hopes to serve as a reference for manipulation speech acts, offering valuable insights regarding the strategies to do manipulation and how the topic of manipulation in fictional works can be studied through a translation perspective.

Abstract

While numerous studies have examined educational evaluation from Islamic perspectives, limited scholarly attention has been directed toward its semantic foundations in the Qur’an. This study explores the concept of educational evaluation by conducting a semantic analysis grounded in Toshihiko Izutsu’s theoretical framework. Adopting a qualitative case study design with an interpretative approach, the research investigates key Qur’anic terms and expressions related to evaluation, focusing on their basic meanings, contextual relationships, and placement within broader semantic fields. The analysis reveals five core concepts underpinning Qur’anic views on educational evaluation: ḥisāb (accountability), wazan (weighing), taqwīm (assessment/upliftment), fitnah (trial), and ibtilāʾ (testing). These concepts construct a comprehensive evaluative paradigm that challenges pre-Islamic (Jāhilī) norms, which emphasized collective over individual responsibility, privileged status over intrinsic value, and material misfortune as divine condemnation. In contrast, the Qur’anic discourse promotes a framework of evaluation that centers on moral intention, personal accountability, and holistic human development. This semantic study thus calls for a reconfiguration of educational evaluation within Islamic contexts, moving beyond mechanistic measurements toward ethically rooted, spiritually conscious, and pedagogically transformative practices. The findings offer practical implications for the design of Islamic education curricula and evaluation tools that align with Qur’anic values while addressing contemporary educational needs

Abstract

Conducting research may contribute positively to teachers’ professionalism and maintain their Career-Long Professional Learning (CLPL). However, many teachers find it challenging and hesitant to conduct research. In this regard, this descriptive quantitative study compares novice and experienced teachers’ motivational factors affecting their decision to conduct research despite their other responsibilities as teachers. This study involved 127 English language teachers who are also active researchers. The data were obtained by using an online survey adopting the Teacher Research Motivation Scale (TRMS) proposed by Hosseini & Bahrami (2022) consisting of 22 items. Descriptive statistics and Mann U-Whitney test were then performed using SPSS software to identify the differences between novice and experienced teachers in their research motivation. The results mostly highlight the importance of comprehensively understanding in-service teachers’ motivational factors to conduct research and foster their willingness to be actively involved in research projects. Government and other educational practitioners may reflect on this study’s result to encourage teachers to conduct research and maintain their professionalism in teaching.
