Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of Indonesian in reducing English speaking anxiety in junior high school students. The study was conducted at MTs Negeri 4 Sidoarjo in the 2024/2025 academic year, with a population of all eighth-grade students. The sample was determined purposively by nine students from class 8D representing three participation categories: active, shy, and passive. The instruments used were classroom observation and semi-structured interviews to explore students’ experiences regarding the use of Indonesian during English learning. Data were analyzed thematically through the stages of transcription, coding, categorization, and interpretation. The results showed that Indonesian has different functions for each group of students. Active students use it as a supporting tool to maintain fluency in speaking and increase confidence when having difficulty remembering English vocabulary. Shy students use it as a bridge when forgetting words or being unsure about constructing sentences, so they can remain engaged without withdrawing. Passive students rely heavily on Indonesian as a shield to reduce their fear of mistakes or ridicule, allowing them to participate, albeit with limited proficiency. These findings confirm that Indonesian is not a barrier, but rather a strategic resource that can help reduce anxiety, maintain engagement, and support the gradual improvement of speaking skills. Therefore, teachers are advised to implement a flexible and strategic bilingual approach to create a supportive classroom atmosphere, emphasize participation over perfection, and build students’ confidence in communicating in English.

Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum demands a transformation of the mathematics learning paradigm that emphasizes contextual experience through a problem-solving approach. The low motivation to learn mathematics of SMA Negeri 1 Lingga students, especially in statistics materials with achievements below the KKM (42.86% of students complete), indicates the need for innovative learning strategies that are relevant to the local context. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) based on maritime contextual problems in Lingga Regency in increasing the motivation to learn mathematics of grade X.1 students. The research method used the Kemmis and McTaggart model Classroom Action Research with two learning cycles over three weeks, involving 37 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire based on five indicators with a four-point Likert scale, then analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results showed a significant increase in motivation scores from 3,249 (medium category) in the first cycle to 3,784 (high category) in the second cycle with an increase of 0.355 points. The contextualization of maritime issues using real data on sea transportation, fishermen's activities, and trade in marine products has succeeded in creating an authentic learning experience that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications. In conclusion, PBL based on the maritime context is effective in increasing students' learning motivation by transforming active participation, presentation courage, and development of independence. It is recommended that the systematic implementation of local context PBL as an alternative learning to increase student involvement in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study thoroughly examines the representation of female beauty in the Korean drama True Beauty using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach. The widespread phenomenon of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) in Indonesia has significantly impacted the construction of beauty standards, often creating social pressure, especially for teenagers and young women. True Beauty, which tells the story of Lim Ju Kyung's struggle to meet appearance expectations, serves as an interesting object for analysis. Utilizing Peirce's triadic framework (representamen, object, and interpretant), this study identifies how visual and verbal signs within the drama construct meaning. The analysis reveals that representamens, such as Ju Kyung's with her bare face, the act of self-makeup, the rejection of her bare face, and social acceptance, collectively refer to the object patriarchal Korean beauty standards demanding fair skin, a high nose bridge, and a slender physique. The resulting interpretants vary on one hand, viewers may perceive beauty as a condition for social acceptance and a source of anxiety, but on the other hand, the drama also presents alternative interpretants highlighting the importance of self- acceptance and resistance to narrow beauty standards. This study concludes that True Beauty not only reproduces dominant beauty norms but also creates space for critique and encourages critical media literacy regarding more inclusive representations of gender and body.

Abstract

A novel is not merely a work of fiction, it can also serve as an archive of history, both in documenting global events and recording personal responses to occurrences that are rarely preserved in official records. This study departs from a series of excerpts from Maher Batuti’s Al Futuuhat Al Barisiyyah which portrays Egyptian history after 1952, including humanitarian tragedies, political conflicts, and social dynamics in the Middle East. Several key issues highlighted in the novel include civilian massacres caused by Israeli air raids, Egypt’s defeat in the Six-Day War or the Naksa of 1967, the dilemmas of the Egyptian diaspora in France, as well as Gamal Abdel Nasser’s political repression against the leftists and the Muslim Brotherhood. The objectives of this study are to reveal how fiction can function as an alternative historical archive, to analyze the representation of Egyptian political history within a literary text, and to uncover the causes and impacts of Egypt’s political decline as depicted in the novel. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through literary text analysis combined with historical inquiry. Data were collected through intensive reading of the novel, examination of historical articles, and archival studies. The findings indicate that the novel presents Egyptian history from a more humanistic perspective, capturing experiences of diaspora, political wounds, and the transition of leadership from Nasser to Sadat. Egypt, once depicted as a tolerant and beautiful nation, is shown to have hardened under Nasser’s policies, culminating in the Naksa tragedy and conflicts with the Muslim Brotherhood. Thus the novel constructs an alternative history that not only addresses political events but also records marginal voices often overlooked and omitted in official historiography.

Abstract

This study examined the implementation of the TOEFL preparation program at SMA Negeri 3 Sidoarjo and its impact on students' reading skills. The study used a qualitative approach and collected data using open-ended questionnaires completed by participating students. The data were then analyzed by thematic grouping to determine learning experiences, reading strategies used, and barriers encountered during the learning process. The results showed that the program had a positive impact on reading skills, particularly on vocabulary mastery through speed-reading strategies such as skimming and scanning, and increased confidence in dealing with academic texts. Students also demonstrated independent learning by practicing independently, using digital applications, and memorizing new vocabulary. However, several barriers were identified, such as a lack of vocabulary mastery, difficulty understanding complex sentences, and overly repetitive teaching methods. Based on the research findings, the TOEFL preparation program needs to be improved through more interactive methods, more diverse learning strategies, and school support. Furthermore, students should be grouped according to their language level to increase learning effectiveness. This study concludes that the TOEFL preparation program can significantly improve students' academic reading skills, although improvements in learning design and support from educational institutions are still needed.

Abstract

This study explores how English Education students at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta perceive and experience the use of English songs as a medium to improve their listening skills. Despite growing enthusiasm for song-based learning, debates remain regarding its effectiveness beyond motivation. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved five final-year students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, validated by an expert in listening pedagogy, and analyzed thematically using Miles and Huberman’s (1994) framework. The analysis yielded five major themes: (1) enjoyment and motivation, (2) vocabulary and pronunciation development, (3) listening comprehension challenges, (4) learning strategies, and (5) autonomy and habit formation. The findings reveal that while English songs enhance enjoyment, reduce anxiety, and provide authentic linguistic exposure, students also face difficulties related to speed, slang, and cultural references. Nevertheless, they develop personal strategies—such as repeated listening and lyric translation—that foster autonomy and sustained engagement. Overall, the study concludes that English songs serve a dual pedagogical function: they act as affective catalysts and as authentic input for listening development. Pedagogically, teachers are encouraged to integrate songs purposefully, balancing enjoyment with structured linguistic and reflective activities to maximize their instructional potential.
