Abstract

Social media has become an important learning resource that supports English language learning, particularly vocabulary mastery. However, previous studies have mainly focused on specific social media platforms or students’ perceptions, resulting in limited comprehensive understanding of the overall influence of social media on English vocabulary learning. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of social media on students’ English vocabulary mastery through a library research approach. This study employed a library research design by reviewing 22 relevant studies published between 2020 and 2026. The data were collected from journal articles accessed through Google Scholar and other academic databases. The selected studies were analyzed using qualitative content analysis by identifying recurring themes and synthesizing the findings. The results revealed that social media contributes positively to students’ English vocabulary mastery. Five major findings were identified. First, social media facilitates vocabulary acquisition by exposing students to authentic English-language content. Second, it improves students’ vocabulary mastery through engaging and contextualized learning experiences. Third, social media promotes autonomous vocabulary learning by encouraging self-directed learning strategies. Fourth, it increases students’ motivation and interest in learning English vocabulary through interactive and enjoyable content. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified, including distractions, exposure to informal language, misinformation, and concerns regarding content reliability. In conclusion, social media can serve as an effective supplementary learning tool for enhancing students’ English vocabulary mastery when used purposefully and critically.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills in English language learning because it enables students to understand, interpret, and analyze information from written texts. However, many students still face difficulties in comprehending English texts due to limited vocabulary, low reading motivation, and ineffective learning strategies. Therefore, teachers need to implement appropriate teaching strategies to improve students’ reading comprehension. This study aims to investigate the use of short stories as a teaching strategy to improve students’ reading comprehension in English language learning. This research employed a library research method by analyzing and synthesizing findings from twenty-five previous studies published between 2021 and 2026. The selected studies were reviewed and categorized into five themes: reading comprehension improvement, reading motivation, vocabulary development, reading strategies, and students’ engagement in reading activities. The findings reveal that short stories significantly contribute to improving students’ reading comprehension by providing meaningful and contextualized language input. In addition, short stories increase students’ motivation to read, enrich vocabulary knowledge, facilitate the use of reading strategies, and encourage active participation during classroom learning activities. The analysis also indicates that students become more interested and engaged in reading lessons when short stories are used as instructional materials. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that short stories are an effective teaching strategy for improving students’ reading comprehension in English language learning. Therefore, English teachers are encouraged to integrate short stories into reading instruction to create more meaningful, enjoyable, and effective learning experiences.

Abstract

Reading habit is widely recognized as an important factor that contributes to students’ language development, particularly in improving writing skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. This study aims to investigate the influence of reading habits on students’ writing skills through a review of previous studies. The study employed a library research design by analyzing findings from 25 relevant studies related to reading habits and writing skills in EFL contexts. The data were collected from academic journals, research articles, and scholarly publications and were analyzed qualitatively through identification, comparison, interpretation, and synthesis of the findings. The results reveal that reading habit has a positive influence on students’ writing skills. Students who engage in regular reading activities tend to demonstrate better writing ability, richer vocabulary knowledge, stronger idea development, improved understanding of grammatical structures, and better organization of written texts. The findings also indicate that reading provides learners with valuable language input and knowledge that support the writing process. Furthermore, students with strong reading habits generally show greater confidence and competence in expressing their ideas through writing. Although the reviewed studies focus on different aspects of writing development, they consistently emphasize the significant role of reading in enhancing writing performance among EFL learners. Therefore, it can be concluded that fostering regular reading habits is an effective strategy for improving students’ writing skills and supporting their overall English language proficiency. The findings of this study may serve as a reference for teachers, students, and researchers in promoting reading as a means of developing writing competence.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has brought significant changes to the field of education. One of the emerging innovations in learning is AI-powered chatbots, which provide interactive support to students throughout the learning process. This study aims to examine the integration of AI and chatbots in Indonesian language learning and their impact on improving the writing skills of upper elementary school students. The study employed a library research approach by analyzing relevant scholarly literature on the use of AI, educational chatbots, and writing instruction in elementary education. The findings indicate that AI and chatbot technologies can assist students in generating writing ideas, expanding vocabulary, improving grammar and spelling, and enhancing motivation to write. In addition, chatbots enable students to receive immediate and personalized feedback, making the learning process more effective and engaging. Nevertheless, the implementation of AI in education still requires teacher guidance to ensure that the technology is used wisely, critically, and in alignment with instructional objectives. Therefore, the integration of AI and chatbots has considerable potential as an innovative instructional approach to improving the writing skills of upper elementary school students in the digital era.

Abstract

The transformation of Islamic education requires learning approaches that not only focus on knowledge acquisition but also support students in understanding, internalizing, and applying religious values in their daily lives. In Akidah Akhlak learning, a gap remains between students’ theoretical understanding of religious concepts and their ability to relate these values to real-life experiences. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Akidah Akhlak learning through active learning strategies in achieving meaningful learning. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design conducted at MTs Al-Hidayah Purwokerto. The research subjects consisted of an Akidah Akhlak teacher and eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the implementation of active learning through group discussions, Problem Solving, Gallery Walk, and Market Place Activity transforms Akidah Akhlak learning from teacher-centered instruction into a more participatory, collaborative, and reflective process. Furthermore, these strategies contribute to the development of meaningful learning by enabling students to connect new knowledge with previous experiences, understand the relevance of Akidah Akhlak values, and reflect on their application in everyday life. This study highlights that active learning functions not merely as a strategy to increase student participation but as a transformative pedagogical approach for developing deeper understanding and value internalization in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of bī’ah lughawiyyah (Arabic language environment) in improving the basic Arabic speaking proficiency of first-year students at Pondok Pesantren Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah. As the primary language of Islamic scholarship, Arabic is essential for students to master, particularly in the area of speaking skills (mahārah al-kalām). This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation conducted in the dormitory for newly enrolled students. The findings reveal that the bī’ah lughawiyyah was implemented through various language-based activities, including mufradāt (vocabulary enrichment), muḥādatsah (conversation practice), muḥāḍarah (speech practice), and the use of Arabic in daily communication. The implementation of these activities was found to positively influence students' language habituation and improve their Arabic speaking skills. However, several challenges were identified, including students' inconsistent use of Arabic, limited instructional time, and insufficient commitment among some supervisors and teachers to consistently maintain the Arabic-speaking environment. Supporting factors included the active involvement of teachers, a structured monitoring system, and the application of educational disciplinary measures. Therefore, establishing a conducive Arabic language environment is a key factor in the successful development of Arabic language learning, particularly in fostering communicative competence.
