Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of language in Sharia financial agreements, with a focus on a case study of mudarabah contracts. Sharia financial agreements play a crucial role in regulating financial transactions in accordance with Sharia principles. In the context of mudarabah contracts, the appropriate and clear use of language becomes a key aspect in maintaining transparency, clarity, and understanding among the parties involved. This research adopts a qualitative method with a case study approach. Research data is collected through document analysis, including mudarabah contract agreements in real practice. The data is then thematically analyzed, focusing on word selection, the use of characteristic clauses, sentence structure, and other language structures in mudarabah contracts. The results of the analysis indicate that the appropriate and clear selection of words in mudarabah contracts is important to reflect Sharia principles and maintain transparency. Furthermore, the use of characteristic clauses helps regulate profit sharing, loss sharing, and the responsibilities of the involved parties. Clear and structured sentence arrangements also ensure clarity and readability of the contract contents. Additionally, the use of distinctive Arabic language structures provides clarity in describing actions that have been taken and instructions that must be followed by the parties involved. This research contributes significantly to understanding the use of language in Sharia financial agreements, particularly in the context of mudarabah contracts. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for practitioners and academics in developing effective Sharia financial agreements in accordance with Sharia principles.

Abstract

opportunities to speak English in class. Self-regulated learning enables some self-motivated students to find opportunities outside the classroom to have face to face and virtual interaction to enhance their English speaking. This study is intended to examine the level of self-regulated motivation of university students to improve their Speaking of English as a foreign language (SRMIS-EFL). Moreover, this study investigates if students' SRMIS-EFL differ accross academic levels. 156 EFL students from an English Department in a private university in Jakarta took part in this study. Self-reported SRMIS-EFL questionnaire was used as the data collecting method. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was then conducted. The findings showed that the overall SRMIS-ELF level of students was high. Moreover, students used various self-regulatory motivation strategies to enhance their EFL speaking skills. As for the aspect of academic level, the results of this study shows that SRMIS-EFL of senior students are lower than SRMIS-EFL of junior students , and there is a statistically significant difference of students’ SRMIS-EFL across academic levels. The findings of this study suggest the need for motivational regulation training into EFL programs to increase students’ awareness of motivational self-regulation strategies to enhance their self-regulated motivation.

Abstract

This study examines translation strategies and the impact of translation strategies on translated texts produced by master's students of the English program at the campus of UNDIKMA Mataram. This study used a qualitative approach that included recording methods, specifically internal data recording. The data collected were 10 products translated from English to Indonesian by the requester.  The English translation includes 390 words.  They are allowed to use traditional or offline/electronic dictionaries when translating text. The study used several translation strategies, which are translation methods (literal translation and oblique translation) and translation processes (borrowing, calque translation, literal translation, modulation, transposition, equivalence, and translation).  Transform).  The results show that master's students tend to use local strategies and literal translation methods in translation.  This affects the quality of the translation, making it less natural in the target language.  In addition, translation errors also occur due to wrong/incorrect word selection, leading to failure to convey the message in the text source. The result of this research expected will bring valuable contributions to future research and courses serving translation activities.

Abstract

This paper began with concerns about the lacks of sharp rhetorical styles in writing, the methods of citing references, and the formulations of theories and arguments within the conceptual framework in thesis reports written by students of the English Language Education Department. The study was carried out to explain the rhetorical styles of students’ theoretical framework in their thesis report, to reveal weaknesses or the lack of strong arguments in conveying ideas in a straightforward and structured manner, and to suggest actions to prevent the problem form reoccurring in the future. The data were collected from the final project manuscripts written by students of the English Education Study Program, totaling 110 works. The analysis followed the stages of data collection, data display, data reduction and drawing conclusions. The general results of the research showed that the students did not include too many elements of critical thinking in their thesis literature review. In general, they used attribution quite excessively (78%), followed by elements of establishing links between sources (15%), and comparing their own findings or interpretations with other sources 4%. Meanwhile, the elements of application, evaluation, and statement of use had the smallest portion, each 1%. Problems found in the sample were listed based on the comparison between the data and the standard commonly used to regulate the procedure of writing a scientific paper. Recommendations were then formulated which can be used as guidelines for final project writers or any other parties related to writing scientific papers in general; they are training students of the importance of using all rhetorical styles in their citation when preparing a strong conceptual framework.

Abstract

The overarching goal of education extends beyond the mere attainment of competencies and academic standards; it encompasses a broader responsibility to cultivate students' awareness of their societal roles, obligations, and rights. This research, undertaken with the specific focus on the drama script "Subversive!" by Faiza Mardzoeki, aims to elucidate the manifestations of social criticism and morality within this literary work. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study hinges on document analysis as its primary methodological framework. Qualitative research, distinguished by its departure from statistical procedures and quantitative calculations, relies on the exploration of assumptions, broad perspectives, theoretical lenses, and a thorough examination of research problems. The research findings primarily unveil instances of social criticism embedded in political contexts and discernible moral dynamics between individuals. Notably, these insights derived from the drama script "Subversive!" serve as valuable material for the pedagogical realm, contributing to the understanding of literary texts in educational settings. This research contends that the implications of its findings extend to the realm of high school literature education, providing a foundation for educators to consider various aspects, types, and impacts of literary works. By delving into the social and moral criticisms encapsulated within these texts, educators can enhance the learning experience, prompting thoughtful reflection on societal constructs and the multifaceted roles literature plays. Additionally, the research underscores the pivotal role of teachers in facilitating this process, thereby emphasizing the broader educational significance of integrating critical perspectives into the study of literature.

Abstract

English Teachers encounter difficulties when trying to pique students' interest in learning English. Technological innovations can enhance English courses through digital storytelling, which can support English lessons because it can strengthen students' commitment to learning and foster a better learning atmosphere. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' views of the attitudes and barriers when leveraging digital storytelling in learning English. This research utilized qualitative methods with questionnaire and interview research instruments to fill the methodological gap because there was a lot of research on digital storytelling conducted using quantitative methods. There were forty eighth-grade students at a private junior high school in Malang who had filled out the questionnaire, and three of them were interviewed. The research results showed that when leveraging digital storytelling to learn English, they have a favorable perspective concerning it, such as assisting them in focusing on the lesson material, keeping them entertained, aiding them in visualizing the lesson material, deepening their understanding of the lesson material, engaging them in learning, helping them communicate in English, providing them a sense of security to take part in class, and creating a stimulating learning environment. On the other hand, some students displayed uncertainty in terms of self-confidence and self-motivation when learning English leveraging digital storytelling although some students also demonstrated an increase in these traits. In addition, by leveraging digital storytelling, they found it simpler to recall the information given and felt more at ease expressing their language proficiency in the form of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, they ran into barriers while leveraging digital storytelling in English classrooms, including technological issues and trouble understanding unfamiliar vocabulary. The study’s implications have been mentioned here.

Abstract

Need analysis is required to take place before developing writing material so that results meet the needs of the students who will use the material. This research aims to analyze a model of English Paragraph Writing material based on project-based learning for EFL learners. A quantitative method was applied in this study employing a questionnaire and semi-structured interview to collect the data from 35 students and three instructors of writing in the English department, at Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram. The data were analyzed quantitatively using frequency and percentage, while the data from the interview were transcribed and analyzed qualitatively. The result showed that students need teaching materials with clear objectives, exercises for individuals and groups, and project-based learning that can be employed in paragraph writing material. Therefore, designing a model of teaching material for paragraph writing based on project-based learning is much needed. The findings of this study are useful for lecturers and stakeholders who want to design English paragraph writing teaching material. This study has the potential to bridge the gap by providing knowledge of the needs of students and recommendations for designing English paragraph writing materials.

Abstract

Discrimination and racism have been obvious for decades. This encompasses derogatory racial epithets such as "nigger, niggers, n-words". The objective of this study was to employ corpus-based analysis in order to examine the frequency of racial derogatory expressions across various genres of literature. The COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English) data were employed to perform a corpus-based linguistic analysis of the terms 'nigger', 'niggers', and 'n-word' over a span of 20 years (1990 to 2019).  Although the words "niggers" and "n-word" have similar meanings, the occurrence of the word "niggers" and "n-word" in the corpora was significantly less frequent compared to the word "nigger." Primarily, the term "niggers" was used as a plural indicator for the derogatory term "nigger". The frequency with which individuals who use derogatory language, such as the term "niggers," associate themselves with pronouns like "they," "us," "those," "all of you," etc., suggests the existence of these patterns. The sole term that displays a notably diverse frequency distribution across genres is the n-word (in comparison to these two terms).
