Abstract

This research explores the role of positive thinking in the context of learning English as a foreign language, focusing on students' perceptions of how their optimistic outlook influences their language learning experiences. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative data from a survey administered to 100 undergraduate students at the University of Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that students generally exhibit high levels of positive thinking, which significantly impacts their motivation, reduces anxiety, increases class participation, fosters resilience, and enhances overall academic performance and satisfaction. Quantitative analysis shows strong positive correlations between positive thinking and various aspects of language learning, while qualitative data provide deeper insights into how positive thinking helps students set and achieve goals, build confidence, engage actively in class, overcome challenges, and enjoy the learning process. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the benefits of positive thinking in language learning. It underscores the importance of integrating positive psychology principles into language education to improve student outcomes. Practical implications for language educators include fostering a positive classroom environment, encouraging optimism and self-efficacy, promoting active engagement, and building students' resilience.

Abstract

Brand recall plays a crucial role in building a strong relationship between consumers and brands. One important aspect of brand recall is the use of a tagline, which aims to create a lasting impression and strengthen brand recall. This study delves deeper into the power of the tagline "Seleraku" in building brand recall for Indomie products. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, this research analyzes the deeper meaning behind the tagline. The findings show that the tagline "Seleraku" not only refers to taste but also creates a strong emotional connection between consumers and the Indomie brand. Through an analysis of advertisement content, it was found that the consistent use of visuals and text reinforces the connotative meaning of the tagline, such as pride in being a local product and personal attachment. This connotative meaning plays a significant role in shaping consumer memory of the Indomie brand. Furthermore, the study also found that the consistency of the tagline’s use across various advertising media contributed to Indomie's success in creating high brand awareness. Therefore, it can be concluded that the tagline "Seleraku" is a key factor in Indomie's success in building customer loyalty and maintaining its dominant position in the instant noodle market. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of semiotics in marketing communication, particularly in the context of building brand recall.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has gained considerable attention for its potential to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This study examines the perceptions and practices of English teachers in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, regarding AI integration in English language teaching. Data were collected from 145 English teachers across public and private secondary schools using a structured questionnaire covering demographic information, perceptions of AI, and current AI integration practices. The findings indicate that most teachers hold a positive outlook on AI, with 65% recognizing its potential benefits, such as improving student engagement and personalized learning. However, challenges remain, as 55% of respondents expressed concerns about the complexity of AI tools, while 45% feared potential job displacement. Although 58% of teachers reported using AI tools, only 20% fully integrated AI into their daily teaching routines. Further analysis highlights that demographic factor, such as teaching experience and prior AI training, significantly influence teachers’ readiness to adopt AI. Teachers with more experience and relevant training exhibited greater confidence and a higher tendency to integrate AI tools effectively. These findings emphasize the need for targeted professional development programs to support AI adoption in English language teaching.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a country rich in ethnic, religious, racial, and cultural diversity, faces challenges in maintaining harmony among its various groups. Religious moderation serves as a vital solution to foster a harmonious society by promoting a balanced approach to practicing religious teachings, respecting differences, and avoiding extremism. Madrasahs, as Islamic educational institutions, play a strategic role in internalizing the values of religious moderation through a culture that emphasizes compassion, peace, and tolerance. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The findings reveal that madrasah culture plays a key role in instilling the values of religious moderation in students by creating an inclusive environment that respects diversity. Through a religion-based approach that highlights tolerance, madrasahs can nurture a generation capable of facing social diversity with openness and acceptance. This education focuses not only on theoretical knowledge but also on the practical application of these values in everyday life. Fostering tolerance and wisdom in dealing with differences is crucial in Indonesia’s multicultural society. Therefore, the implementation of religious moderation within the curriculum and activities of madrasahs—through a comprehensive approach involving all school elements, including teachers and students—serves as an effective strategy to create a generation that is not only religiously literate but also capable of living harmoniously within social diversity.
