The research is based on the need for engaging and adaptive learning media that meets the specific learning needs of students with disabilities. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires distributed to students. The results show that Wordwall is highly favored by students in Islamic studies classes. 100% of the participants stated that the application is interesting and suits their learning needs due to its visual and interactive nature. Furthermore, 80% of the students expressed willingness to continue using Wordwall in future learning, while 20% faced challenges due to limited technological facilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the evolving role of local governments and the structuring of regional apparatuses within the framework of regional autonomy in Indonesia. Guided by Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, decentralization has positioned local governments as key actors in delivering effective, efficient, and participatory public services. However, despite this expanded authority, the implementation of regional autonomy continues to face substantial challenges, particularly in the institutional structuring of local government apparatuses that often remain misaligned with the diverse needs and characteristics of each region. Employing a qualitative research design with a policy analysis approach, this study draws on secondary data from policy documents, government evaluation reports, and academic literature published between 2020 and 2024. The findings reveal a significant gap between the normative frameworks established by national regulations and the practical realities at the local level. Many regional apparatuses are structured rigidly, mirroring centralized bureaucratic models, which undermines their ability to respond effectively to local socio-economic dynamics. The study proposes an ideal role model for local governments that integrates three core functions: as facilitators of development, providers of public services, and enablers of community participation. Additionally, it recommends restructuring regional apparatuses based on principles of flexibility, responsiveness, and actual regional needs. Practical strategies include strengthening institutional capacity through targeted training, conducting periodic organizational evaluations, and fostering collaboration between central and local governments. These efforts are essential to ensure that decentralization not only transfers authority but also enhances governance quality, reduces regional disparities, and supports the achievement of inclusive and sustainable development goals across Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how Instagram memes related to the Palestine-Israeli conflict convey political narratives through both denotative and connotative meanings. Using Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework, a descriptive qualitative method was employed to analyse 60 memes tagged with #Palestinememes and #Israelmemes. The analysis focused on the interaction between visual and textual elements and their role in constructing meaning. The findings reveal nine dominant themes, including state delegitimisation, opponent dehumanisation, and media propaganda. Denotation provides literal anchors, while connotation embeds ideological stances, such as the keffiyeh symbolising Palestinian identity or the Star of David representing Israeli statehood. The results indicate that memes serve as condensed political texts, allowing users to share emotionally impactful messages that shape public perceptions. The study highlights the role of memes in digital agenda-setting and emphasises the necessity of critical media literacy when engaging with political content on multimodal platforms.

Abstract

Vocabulary skills. While previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of the Duolingo app in enhancing vocabulary acquisition, studies focusing on students’ learning experiences remain limited. A pre-research survey indicated that Duolingo is the most preferred application for independent vocabulary learning. This study explores the experiences of eighth-semester students in learning English vocabulary using Duolingo, focusing on cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects. A qualitative case study method was employed, with data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education in a private university in West Kalimantan. The findings underscore the importance of integrating mobile technology as a standalone, enjoyable, and meaningful tool for vocabulary learning.

Abstract

Comprehending reading text in many genres is one of the main goals in learning English at the Junior High School level. Many innovative methods have been adapted and implemented by numerous scholars to improve this receptive skill. Thus, this study exposes the effectiveness of the Global Method to improve reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Sigi and focuses on Narrative text. A quasi-experimental design was utilized involving two classes: an experimental class taught using the Global Method and a control class taught using conventional methods. A total of 46 students participated in this study. Both groups were given pre-tests and post-tests to measure their reading comprehension before and after the treatment. Paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests are applied to determine the significance differences between the two groups. The results present that the experimental class achieves a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with the mean score increasing from 66.91 in the pre-test to 87.91 in the post-test. In contrast, the control class points out a smaller improvement, with mean scores rising from 61.70 to 73.35. Statistical analysis confirmed that the Global Method has a significant positive effect on students’ reading comprehension (the p-value 0.001 lower than 0,05). Therefore, the Global Method is more effective than conventional teaching methods in enhancing students’ ability to understand narrative texts. It is recommended that English teachers incorporate this method into their instructional reading practices to support students’ comprehension development.

Abstract

This article examines the significance of violence, particularly structural violence—as a critical topic of literary research. Violence is a persistent and evolving element of human life, making it essential to explore its forms and implications. As societies have developed through the establishment of governments, regulations, and institutions, structural violence has become increasingly prevalent. This form of violence manifests as indirect harm embedded within social, economic, and political systems, often disadvantaging specific individuals or groups through financial hardship, unequal access to education, healthcare disparities, and discrimination. Notably, structural violence often goes unnoticed and lacks a clearly identifiable perpetrator. The purpose of this study is to analyze the portrayal of violence, with a focus on structural violence, in Stephen King’s novel Carrie. Employing a qualitative method, this research draws upon textual evidence from the novel to support its analysis. The findings reveal that Carrie reflects various instances of structural violence through its narrative, particularly those that inflict invisible wounds on the victim. However, this study is limited to institutionally embedded forms of violence, leaving broader dimensions of the topic open for future exploration.
