Abstract

This study investigates the use of multimodal texts in teaching English vocabulary at SMPN 40 Medan, focusing on how teachers integrate multimodal resources, how students perceive these practices, and which types of multimodal texts are considered most helpful. Grounded in theories of multimodality and multimedia learning, the study addresses a gap in Indonesian junior high school contexts where vocabulary instruction often remains textbook-centered despite curriculum encouragement for digital literacy and student-centered learning. This study contributes to the limited empirical research on multimodal vocabulary instruction in Indonesian junior high school contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research draws on classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and analysis of instructional materials to triangulate findings. The analysis shows that multimodal texts, particularly digital slides that combine text and visuals, support vocabulary learning by increasing engagement, clarifying meaning, and strengthening retention. Interactive quizzes enhance motivation and opportunities for review, while short audio and video materials support pronunciation and contextual understanding when guided through pausing and focused tasks. However, implementation is shaped by unstable internet access, limited devices, and the need for occasional translation support. Overall, the study highlights that multimodal vocabulary instruction is most effective when teachers connect visual, audio, and video input with meaningful practice and reinforcement while adapting to technological constraints.

Abstract

This study explores the interwoven relationships among language, culture, and society in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching through an Islamic lens. While previous research has broadly explored cultural integration in EFL, there is a notable research gap regarding how Islamic educational paradigms can be systematically applied to preserve local religious identities amidst globalized English instruction; this study offers a novel integrative model to bridge that gap. It emphasizes how language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a bearer of cultural and social identity. Integrating Islamic values into EFL instruction supports students in maintaining their cultural and religious identities while acquiring English proficiency. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method, drawing on literature and Islamic teachings to propose a culturally and religiously aligned approach to EFL pedagogy. It also identifies key sociolinguistic phenomena such as code-switching, politeness strategies, intercultural sensitivity, and cultural motivation Keywords : Language; Culture, Society; EFL; Islamic Perspective
