Abstract

Background: As a developing country with a vast and diverse archipelago, Indonesia requires a greater number of high-quality human resources capable of competing both nationally and internationally. One such strategy is the expanded development of English language education to strengthen human resources. Foreign a significant challenge in the learning process is the limited availability of both formal and informal platforms for students to practice the language, which hampers their progress. For EFL learners, reading is essential for acquiring the language, expanding vocabulary, and gaining broader knowledge and experiences. Methods: The research was carried out with 25 second-year students from class XI Science 1 at MA Darul Muhajirin Praya. The research utilized a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, implemented over two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four phases: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through tests, observation sheets, and documentation. Findings: The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension, marked by an average score increase of 8.97% from the pre-test to the second post-test. During the pre-test, only 1 student (4%) met the minimum passing standard (KKM), with an average score of 54.6. In the first post-test, 9 students (29.45%) achieved the passing score, with the average rising to 70.88. By the second post-test, 19 students (76%) had passed, with the average score reaching 77.24. Conclusion: This study concludes that applying skimming and scanning techniques greatly enhances students' reading comprehension. Incorporating these strategies into classroom English instruction effectively improves students' understanding of narrative texts, as evidenced by the findings of the action research. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the effectiveness of integrating skimming and scanning techniques into classroom English instruction for EFL learners. The novelty lies in demonstrating, through classroom action research, how these strategies significantly improve students’ comprehension of narrative texts in a measurable and systematic way.

Abstract

Background: One of the most significant educational reforms in Indonesia is the Merdeka Curriculum. However, despite its potential, many teachers, particularly in kindergarten settings, still face challenges in its implementation and require further understanding of Merdeka Curriculum-based learning. This study explores the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Muslimat NU Diponegoro 81 Kranggan Kindergarten. Methods: This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with SWOT analysis framework was used to evaluate internal and external factors affecting curriculum implementation. Findings: The SWOT analysis reveals that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at Muslimat NU Diponegoro 81 Kranggan Kindergarten is relatively effective, supported by several strengths such as a strategic location, well-qualified teachers, strong teacher collaboration, adequate learning facilities, and active student participation. However, challenges remain, including a lack of teaching materials, limited teacher training, and varying student skill levels. Opportunities include strong support from student guardians and the Muslimat foundation, while threats involve insufficient understanding of the curriculum among parents, financial constraints, and limited periodic supervision by Muslimat administrators. Conclusions: The study concludes that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum depends on the collaboration between school leaders, teachers, and external stakeholders. While internal strengths and external opportunities facilitate implementation, challenges such as financial limitations, lack of training, and inconsistent supervision need to be addressed. To enhance curriculum implementation, principals should strengthen leadership and external partnerships, teachers should participate in continuous training, and policymakers should provide clearer guidelines and financial support. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study contributes to the understanding of early childhood education curriculum reform by offering a practical SWOT analysis of the Merdeka Curriculum in kindergarten settings. Unlike previous studies, it provides a structured evaluation of implementation challenges and strategies for improvement, serving as a valuable reference for educators, school administrators, and policymakers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Mahārah al-kalam (Arabic speaking skills) learning at DIS Islamic Boarding School is a program implemented to enhance students' proficiency in Arabic, particularly at the Language Center. Students at the boarding school come from diverse educational backgrounds, including elementary, middle, and high school levels, with some having no prior exposure to Arabic. This diversity often leads to difficulties in mastering the language. To address this, the boarding school employs the chain story technique, a method designed to facilitate effective and accurate Arabic speaking skills. This study aims to explore the implementation of Mahārah al-kalam learning using the chain story technique at DIS Islamic Boarding School. Methods: This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach through field research (Field Research). Data were collected using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The research subjects included teachers and students at DIS Islamic Boarding School. Findings: The study reveals that the chain story technique significantly enhances students' Arabic speaking skills. Students are provided with vocabulary (mufrodat) exercises every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Mahārah al-kalam activities are conducted weekly on Saturdays, followed by evaluations on Sundays to assess students' progress. The technique not only improves speaking skills but also integrates listening, reading, and writing abilities, creating a comprehensive and engaging learning environment. Conclusion: The chain story technique proves to be an effective method for improving Mahārah al-kalam learning, fostering students' confidence and proficiency in Arabic. Its integration of multiple language skills and interactive approach makes it a valuable tool for language education in Islamic boarding schools. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the innovative application of the chain story technique in Arabic language learning, particularly in the context of Islamic boarding schools. It provides new insights into how interactive and creative methods can address the challenges of teaching Arabic to students with diverse educational backgrounds.

Abstract

Background: Japanese office workers are widely recognized for their discipline, innovation, and strong work ethic. These values reflect Japan’s collective dedication to organizational and national advancement. However, this cultural rigor also creates psychological pressure and limited individual freedom. Understanding this phenomenon through Hofstede’s cultural dimensions offers insights into Japan’s distinctive work behavior. Methods: This study employed documentation and literature study techniques. Video interviews of six Japanese workers from the Takashi From Japan YouTube channel were analyzed using Hofstede’s four cultural dimensions: power distance, collectivism vs. individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity/femininity. Supporting literature was reviewed to validate findings. Finding: Results reveal a high power distance, with workers showing strong obedience toward superiors and organizational hierarchy. Japanese work culture is predominantly collectivist, emphasizing group harmony and social contribution over personal interest. A high level of uncertainty avoidance leads workers to remain in rigid systems to minimize risk. Although less explored, masculinity is evident through hard work, self-sacrifice, and achievement orientation. Overall, the culture fosters stability and loyalty but often causes psychological strain and reduced personal expression. Conclusion: Japanese work culture is characterized by hierarchy, collectivism, and avoidance of uncertainty, reinforcing discipline and organizational stability while creating pressure and emotional fatigue among workers. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a unique qualitative exploration of Japanese work culture through Hofstede’s framework based on real worker experiences from digital media sources, providing fresh insights into cultural dynamics in modern Japan.
