Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the implementation of digital transformation in tourism and hospitality education through an analysis of 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019-2024. The study employs a rigorous methodological approach involving systematic database searches, strict inclusion-exclusion criteria, and qualitative content analysis to identify key themes, implementation challenges, and strategic recommendations. The findings reveal a significant disparity in digital transformation implementation between developed and developing nations. While developed countries primarily focus on optimizing technological utilization and pedagogical innovation, developing nations face fundamental challenges including inadequate infrastructure and pronounced digital divides. The analysis identifies several development opportunities, including enhanced learning flexibility, improved digital literacy, and the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and IoT in tourism education. The study's practical implications emphasize the importance of establishing robust digital frameworks, implementing comprehensive educator training programs, and adapting curricula to achieve an optimal balance between technological and practical learning components. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of digital transformation in tourism education while suggesting future research directions to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of hybrid learning models across various geographical and socio-economic contexts. The findings provide valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers, and industry stakeholders in developing strategies for effective digital transformation in tourism education.

Abstract

Madrasah Diniyah institutions often face persistent challenges in language instruction, including low student engagement and limited diversity in teaching methodologies. These issues can hinder both linguistic development and overall learner well-being. To address this concern, this study explores the integration of English storytelling as a pedagogical strategy to (1) promote students’ speaking skills and (2) promote their emotional and psychological well-being during the learning process. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study was conducted over two instructional cycles involving 52 students from Madrasah Diniyah Kanzul Ulum. Data were collected through both quantitative and qualitative methods. Pre-tests and post-tests assessed improvements in speaking performance, focusing on fluency, vocabulary usage, and overall comprehension. Qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations, student questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with parents to capture behavioral and emotional responses to the intervention. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ speaking abilities, with notable gains in verbal expression, confidence, and classroom engagement. Storytelling sessions fostered a dynamic and enjoyable learning environment, encouraging active participation and reducing student anxiety. Furthermore, students developed a stronger emotional connection to the material, which enhanced motivation and fostered a more positive attitude toward learning English. Parental feedback also revealed increased use of simple English expressions at home and greater enthusiasm for attending classes. These outcomes suggest that English storytelling not only supports language acquisition but also contributes to students’ holistic development. Accordingly, it presents a promising instructional approach for enhancing both linguistic proficiency and well-being in non-formal Islamic educational settings.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the phonological errors made by fourth-grade students at Al-Kautsar Islamic Modern Boarding School in pronouncing English vowel diphthongs. A descriptive qualitative method was applied to explore students’ pronunciation by analyzing their recorded speech. The participants were five students from class IV-C during the 2024/2025 academic year. Each student performed a speech that was recorded and evaluated using phonetic software based on International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) standards. The results demonstrated that students often had difficulties pronouncing diphthongs such as /eɪ/ and /oʊ/, largely due to interlingual influences (native language interference) and intralingual issues (complexity of the English language and unfamiliar phonological structures). It was observed that the diphthongs /aɪ/, /eɪ/, and /oʊ/ appeared frequently in the students’ speech, while others like /eə/ and /ʊə/ were either rare or absent. This absence is attributed to the prevalent use of American English pronunciation, which does not frequently utilize these diphthongs. The analysis revealed various levels of proficiency among the participants, with scores ranging from poor to good. These findings underline the importance of enhancing phonological awareness and pronunciation training among EFL learners. The study concludes with practical suggestions for improving pronunciation instruction through phonetics-based activities and greater exposure to native-like speech.

Abstract

This study investigates how dehumanization metaphors in heavy metal lyrics specifically Slipknot’s Iowa (2001) influence L2 learners’ vocabulary acquisition and critical discourse skills. Although extreme metal lyrics are often perceived as violent or non-academic, they offer rich linguistic input containing complex metaphors, emotional intensity, and identity-based discourse. Using a qualitative descriptive design, fifteen intermediate EFL learners analyzed three Slipknot songs (“People = Shit,” “The Heretic Anthem,” and “Disasterpiece”) through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Data were obtained through pre–post vocabulary tests, CDA worksheets, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate a significant improvement in learners’ mastery of advanced vocabulary, particularly metaphorical and emotionally laden lexical items. The analysis of extreme metaphors encouraged deep processing, fostering greater retention and contextual understanding. Moreover, students demonstrated enhanced critical discourse awareness, including the ability to identify ideological meanings, decode violent metaphors symbolically, and interpret identity construction within the lyrics. Emotional engagement with the material also contributed positively to motivation and learning outcomes. Overall, the study concludes that heavy metal lyrics when approached critically serve as effective authentic materials for developing higher-order linguistic and analytical competencies in SLA. Such texts not only expand vocabulary and discourse skills but also support learners’ identity development by enabling them to explore themes of alienation, resistance, and self-expression through language.

Abstract

Learning English vocabulary using TikTok as a media learning is expected to provide students with a practical, engaging, and meaningful learning experience. This research aims to determine the implementation of teaching English vocabulary to fifth-grade students of SD Laboratorium UNG through TikTok media. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design, involving 20 fifth-grade students at SD Laboratorium UNG in the academic year 2024/2025 as research subjects. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, focusing on three basic types of vocabulary: nouns, verbs, and adjectives, which were taught using TikTok videos. This research showed that (1) using TikTok videos in the classroom increases students’ interest, participation, and understanding of English vocabulary. This was proven by observations that have been analyzed about the implementation of TikTok videos as a medium for learning English vocabulary to fifth-grade students at SD Laboratorium UNG. (2) students showed improvement in recognizing, pronouncing, and using vocabulary in simple sentences, and felt more confident in the learning process. This is based on the results of interviews conducted with 5 students who were most active during the implementation of TikTok videos in English vocabulary learning activities. Despite challenges such as limited access to technology, TikTok proved to be an effective medium for teaching vocabulary to young EFL learners.
