Abstract

This study analyzes the difficulties experienced by students in understanding Arabic texts in the maharah qirā’ah learning process at MAN 5 Jombang. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques, which were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal two types of difficulties: linguistic and non-linguistic. Linguistic difficulties include limited mastery of vocabulary (mufradāt), weak understanding of sentence structure (nahwu–sharaf), and pronunciation errors that hinder reading fluency. Non-linguistic difficulties involve low learning motivation, negative perceptions of the Arabic language, insufficient learning media, and monotonous teaching methods. These findings highlight the need to improve linguistic competence, enhance learning motivation, and utilize more varied digital learning media to strengthen students’ qirā’ah skills.

Abstract

Arabic writing skills (mahārah al-kitābah) remain one of the most challenging aspects of language learning in Islamic schools, partly due to students’ anxiety, low confidence, and limited motivational support during instruction. This study aimed to explore how psychoeducational-based learning was implemented in the teaching of Arabic writing at MTsN Pacitan and how it influenced student engagement and competence. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving one Arabic teacher and 32 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis using validated observation sheets, interview guides, and review checklists. Data were analyzed thematically through coding and categorization. The results showed that psychoeducational elements were systematically embedded in learning activities through motivational dialogue, collaborative learning, reflective sharing, and supportive feedback. These practices reduced writing anxiety, strengthened confidence, and encouraged students’ active participation. Students gradually demonstrated greater autonomy and improvement in constructing Arabic sentences and short paragraphs. The findings indicate that writing competence develops more effectively when emotional readiness and psychological support accompany linguistic instruction. This study contributes to Arabic language pedagogy by highlighting the importance of integrating cognitive and affective learning dimensions. Future research is recommended to apply this model in broader contexts using mixed-method approaches.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the referential function of the "golden bough" imagery in W.B. Yeats's “Sailing to Byzantium” and to find out how conceptual integration generates meaning. It adopts literature analysis, using Yeats' poetry and related intertextuality as materials to identify three psychological spaces and analyze their structures through conceptual integration theory (CIT). The research results indicate that "golden branches" have a referential function, constructed by the integration of concepts in the text and their emerging structures. It appears as a 'living but lifeless' entity, possessing materiality, biology, artistry, and sacredness, and cannot be understood solely by the distinction between nature and artificiality.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions and motivation in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking through Instagram Reels. In the digital era, social media has become a widely used tool in language learning, particularly among Generation Z learners. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 35 sixth-semester students from the English Education Department at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that students’ perceptions were categorized as high (M = 3.81), while their motivation was also in the high category (M = 3.70). These findings indicate that Instagram Reels is perceived as an effective and engaging medium that enhances students’ confidence and motivation in practicing speaking. Therefore, Instagram Reels can be considered a supportive digital tool for improving EFL speaking learning experiences.

Abstract

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة تأثير المسرح الشكسبيري على تجربة أحمد شوقي المسرحية، مع التركيز على مسرحية "مصرع كليوبترا" كمثال حي على التفاعل الثقافي بين الأدب العربي والأدب الغربي. يستعرض البحث كيف استلهم شوقي البناء الدرامي والشخصيات والحبكات التراجيدية من مسرحيات شكسبير، خصوصًا "أنطونيو وكليوبترا"، لكنه أعاد صياغتها بما يتناسب مع الهوية الثقافية العربية الإسلامية والروح القومية العربية. يعتمد البحث على المنهج المقارن والتحليلي مع الاستناد إلى المصادر النقدية العربية والغربية، ويبرز أهمية هذا التداخل الأدبي في تطوير المسرح الشعري العربي الحديث. كما يسلط الضوء على جهود شوقي في المزج بين الأصالة والتجديد، مما يجعل تجربته نموذجًا فريدًا في الأدب العربي الحديث. تتناول الدراسة عدة جوانب، منها البناء الدرامي، تطوير الشخصيات، والتناص الأدبي، مع محاولة فهم كيف ساهم السياق الحضاري والتاريخي في تشكيل هذا التفاعل الأدبي

Abstract

This study examines how Islamic-themed memes on Instagram represent the social reality and religious identity of Indonesian Gen Z through humor and digital discourse. The data is five purposively selected memes, categorized into five thematic dimensions: behavior and social control, intellect and belief, discipline and character, psychology and life solutions, and lifestyle and consumption. The analysis is using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to identify three dimensions of textual analysis, discursive practice, and socio-cultural practice. The findings reveal that Islamic memes function not merely as entertainment, but as discursive tools for negotiating religiosity within contemporary digital culture. At the textual level, the memes employ irony, linguistic inversion, symbolism, and visual juxtaposition to communicate moral and theological messages in relatable ways. At the discursive level, the memes demonstrate strong intertextuality with internet culture, debate culture, motivational discourse, and popular media references, allowing religious messages to circulate effectively within social media environments. At the socio-cultural level, the study identifies emerging phenomena such as horizontal preaching, digital moral surveillance, therapeutic religiosity, intellectualized faith, and digital asceticism among Indonesian Gen Z. The study concludes that religious identity among Gen Z is increasingly constructed through participatory digital culture rather than solely through formal religious institutions.
