This study aims to identify and analyze language crimes that occur in the communication process among students on campus using a forensic linguistic approach. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with note-taking techniques.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the common subject-verb agreement difficulties that students encounter in the English Education Study Program at the University of Bengkulu. This study adopted a qualitative methodology. The population was the sixth semester of the 2022/2023 a English Education Study Program. The sample of this study was 33 students consisting of 11 males and 22 females. Data collection was done through validated and reliable tests consisting of 30 items representing 6 subject-verb agreements; full verbs, linking verbs, modals, auxiliary be, auxiliary have, and auxiliary do. Furthermore, this study used simple statistics (percentage and average) to analyze the data. In accordance to the study's findings, the majority of learners have struggles using subject-verb agreements. Found 540 obstacles in the test. The students' own difficulties were difficulties using Full Verbs (18%), Linking Verbs (21.5%), Modals (23%), Auxiliary be (16.5%), Auxiliary have (14%), and Auxiliary do (7%). Modal becomes the dominant difficulty for students. It was possible that students have difficulty understanding patterns in modals and did not know the term modals themselves. Moreover, students also could not identify the subject and verb in the sentence, lacked vocabulary, did not practice often, and did not recheck wrong answers. This result suggests that an appropriate method is still needed to improve understanding with subject-verb agreement.

Abstract

Islamic literature, history, and customs are common subjects and resources incorporated into effective English teaching in Islamic nations since they are relevant to the culture. The aims of this study are to explore the integration of Islamic education in English language teaching as well as how teachers can teach English by instilling Islamic values to develop good character in their students. This study involves a systematic literature review (SLR). An SLR requires significant searching across multiple article databases as well as additional journal databases such as Google Scholar to supplement and expand the main database. The next step involved obtaining and locating additional supplies manually. This step entailed reading pieces of literature for which the only information provided was the author, source, or title. The study reveals that understanding culture and society can help integrate religious teaching into ELT. It is critical to understand the cultural and theological context. Teachers who are knowledgeable of Islamic customs, values, and sensitivities should teach them in the classroom. Moreover, to provide students with a well-rounded education, Islamic principles and ethics can be integrated into English language classes. Teachers can explore issues and subjects that are in line with Islamic principles while encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural understanding.
