Abstract

Communities that can speak more than one language as a daily habit are not only happening in the present era but have long existed in the pesantren environment. However, multilingualism in pesantren is often only seen as a capacity enhancement of the santri's knowledge. On the other hand, the multilingual ability of the Santri is an asset in forming an attitude of religious moderation. This article then presents the results of qualitative research using the concept of additive multilingualism which focuses on pesantren students in Indonesia. Through observations, interviews, and literature review, this research can describe the reality of multilingualism in pesantren and its impact on the religious attitudes of its santri. It turns out that the religious moderation attitude of the students is closely related to the multilingual learning process in pesantren that takes place with technological restrictions. The application of additive multilingualism is aligned with the pillars of religious moderation in four ways. First, respect for locality is reflected in the Santri's habit of using local languages. Second, multilingualism is an expression of anti-violence, this is reflected in Santri's acceptance of linguistic and ethnic diversity as a brotherhood base. This is what manifests in the Third pillar by making santri a tolerant community as a result of learning from the reality of ethnic and linguistic diversity in their environment.  Fourth, the introduction of santri to foreign languages is directed to reaffirm their national commitment through the use of foreign languages in flag ceremonies. The limitation of technology in multilingual learning is also intended to keep students from the bad influence of technology and to maintain the discipline of students in maintaining a pesantren culture that is friendly to locality and sensitive to the times

Abstract

The survey results show that students have low writing skills. One of the contributing factors is that students have difficulty developing ideas from writing, which causes the writing process to be slow. Apart from that, passive learning activities also have an impact on students' writing abilities. Based on this, the aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the Mind Mapping-based Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model on students' writing abilities. This type of research is quasi-experimental research (quasi-experimental) using a 2 x 2 factorial design. The population in this research is grade IV elementary school students, totaling 9 schools. The total sample size was 160 students. The sampling technique uses a simple random sample. The data collection method in research uses test and non-test methods. The technique used to analyze data is inferential statistics. The results of the research are that the writing ability of the group of students who were given the Mind Mapping -based Project Based Learning Model was greater than the group of students with low linguistic intelligence, the writing ability of the group of students who were given the Conventional Learning Model, after controlling for language knowledge. It was concluded that the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model based on Mind Mapping can improve students' writing skills. The implication of this research is that the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model based on Mind Mapping can stimulate students' learning and stimulate students' thinking skills so that it has an impact on improving students' writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to explain how language plays a significant role in improving the performance of regional development banks in Indonesia. The method used was qualitative with a questionnaire instrument involving 6 regional development banks in Indonesia. Some of the main findings are 24 statements were found, 19 of which fall into 5 categories, namely assertive illocutionary speech acts, directive illocutionary speech acts, expressive illocutionary speech acts, commissive illocutionary speech acts, and declarative illocutionary speech acts. In its implementation, the process emphasizing the humanistic approach scored over 90%. By prioritizing language training initiatives that emphasize the mastery of illocutionary speech acts, regional banks in Indonesia can expect improved operational efficiency, strengthened customer relationships and a more strategic approach to communication, contributing to the overall development and success of the banking sector. This study is limited to the context of only one type of bank, the regional development bank. It is further suggested that there is a strong need to provide adequate and timely capacity building for the employees of regional development banks, particularly in language training as part of public service and satisfaction development.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of video-based flipped learning on the attitudes of students in non-English language programs, focusing on enjoyment, engagement, motivation, behavioral intentions, and perception. The study employed a descriptive research design, collecting data through questionnaires administered to 30 students enrolled in non-English language courses. The findings reveal a significantly positive attitude towards flipped learning, with high scores in enjoyment and engagement indicating a preference for the interactive and dynamic nature of video-based learning environments. The study confirms that motivation and behavioral intentions are positively affected by the flipped model, enhancing students' proactive learning behaviors and overall engagement with the course material. Moreover, the positive perception of video-based learning among students suggests that this method supports a deeper understanding and retention of language skills. This research contributes to the educational discourse by demonstrating that flipped learning models can significantly improve learning experiences and outcomes in non-English language settings. Future studies are encouraged to explore the long-term impacts of flipped learning on language proficiency and retention, aiming to validate and expand upon the current findings.

Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to address the challenges of low speaking proficiency and motivation among second-year students in an Islamic education university department. This was achieved by implementing an integrated teaching strategy within a Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework to enhance students' speaking skills and active involvement in the learning process. The study employed a CAR design, conducted over two cycles. Each cycle comprised four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The intervention involved an integrated teaching strategy that combined multiple language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—within a cohesive instructional framework. Data were collected through post-tests, observation checklists, and reflection notes. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both speaking performance and student engagement between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. In Cycle 1, the majority of students scored in the "Fair" category, with only 24.39% achieving "Good" scores. Following strategic adjustments, Cycle 2 saw a marked increase in average post-test scores, with 87.80% of students meeting or exceeding the success criteria. The level of active involvement also rose significantly, reflecting the effectiveness of the revised integrated strategy. The findings highlight the value of integrated language instruction and the importance of iterative refinement in teaching methodologies. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of language acquisition and offers practical insights for EFL educators, particularly in contexts where students face challenges in developing speaking proficiency. The study underscores the need for creating supportive and engaging learning environments that foster student participation and language development.This study provides empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of integrated teaching strategies in EFL contexts, particularly within Islamic education settings. It demonstrates how Classroom Action Research can be utilized to improve teaching practices and student outcomes continuously. The research offers a model that can be adapted and applied in similar educational contexts to enhance language learning.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered translation influxes in the translation industry. Yet, questions have arisen about the quality of AI-powered translation systems (AIPTSs). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the translation quality generated by ChatGPT for the Farewell Sermon. Using House's (2015) model of translation quality assessment (TQA), the study analyzed the Farewell Sermon focusing on text, register analysis of field, tenor mode, and genre. The language/text analysis revealed that AIPTSs produced lexical and syntactic inaccuracies that hindered capturing the sermon's intended religious voice. In register, Field, the analysis pointed out that the AIPTSs captured the broad themes of the Farewell Sermon, but often missed subtleties in religious terminology. AIPTSs also adopted superficial literal translation of the sentence structures. In Tenor, the analysis revealed that the Prophet's role as a moral and spiritual guide was somewhat diluted in the translation. Likewise, AIPTSs struggled to maintain the Prophet's authoritative and compassionate stance. The AIPTSs maintained general coherence but faced challenges with cohesive devices such as conjunctions, pronouns, and references. Furthermore, the microanalysis revealed an amount of 81 overt translation errors that the AIPTSs committed while translating the Farewell Sermon into English, the most frequent were "creative translation" with 24 errors, "not translated" with 15 errors, "distortion of meaning" with 9 errors, "slight change in meaning" with 8 errors and "breach of the SL system" with 7 errors. "Significant change in meaning" and "cultural filtering" were less noticeable with 6 and 4 errors, respectively. Additionally, the analysis revealed that House's (2015) model is to some extent suitable for assessing the quality of AIPTSs, one type of error was technical and beyond the model focus though. The researchers called it "software intervention". Software interventions can either positively or negatively affect the translation depending on whether the error improves readability without distorting meaning or inaccuracies. The study recommends the importance of tuning the AIPTSs applications to prevent the inducing of technical systems
