Abstract

The escalation of the global climate crisis has necessitated a rigorous examination of how political leaders linguistically construct environmental realities to legitimize policy decisions. Despite extensive research on environmental communication, there remains a paucity of comparative critical discourse studies examining the linguistic dichotomy between Global North and Global South leaders within high-stakes economic forums. This study analyzes the rhetorical strategies employed by G20 leaders during the 2024 Summit to uncover how language serves as a tool for ideological dominance and evasion of responsibility. Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional Model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this qualitative study examines transcripts of keynote addresses from four G20 leaders. The analysis focuses on textual features, discursive practices, and broader social implications. The findings reveal a distinct divergence: Global North leaders predominantly utilize nominalization and passive voice to obfuscate agency regarding historical emissions, whereas Global South leaders employ high-modality affective language to frame climate change as an immediate existential threat requiring reparations. The study concludes that the discourse of "green growth" often functions as a hegemonic tool to maintain neoliberal economic status quos while feigning ecological urgency.

Abstract

In educational environments, language is essential not only as a teaching tool but also as a means of establishing, upholding, and occasionally contesting power dynamics. This article investigates how language use in educational settings affects participation, authority, control, and identity. The study employs a qualitative research design grounded in Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to uncover implicit power relations present in educational discourse. Data were gathered through non-participant observations and audio recordings of English classroom interactions at a public junior high school in Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra. The findings reveal that teacher talk significantly dominates classroom interaction, utilizing imperative forms, closed-ended questioning, and the Initiation–Response–Feedback (IRF) sequence to maintain institutional authority. This dominance positions the teacher as the primary authority while limiting students’ opportunities to initiate interaction or negotiate meaning. The study concludes that understanding linguistic power is vital for supporting more inclusive and equitable teaching methods that redistribute power more effectively.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a foundational yet challenging skill for EFL learners in Indonesia, primarily due to limited exposure to authentic spoken English and natural pronunciation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of audio recording media in enhancing the listening comprehension of recount texts among tenth-grade students. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the research involved 33 students at SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar as participants. Data were gathered through pre-test and post-test procedures utilizing a fill-in-the-blank listening instrument based on the recount text “My Holiday in Bali.” The findings demonstrate a substantial improvement in students' listening performance, with the mean score rising from 40.00 in the pre-test to 79.09 in the post-test, reflecting a 97.7% increase. Furthermore, the percentage of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM ≥ 75) surged from 6.1% to 66.7%. The results indicate that audio recording media fosters a conducive learning environment by providing repeated exposure, enhancing auditory resilience, and allowing students to internalize linguistic input at their own pace. Pedagogically, this study underscores the necessity of integrating technology-driven media to support student-centered and contextualized learning, fully aligning with the Merdeka Belajar framework to cultivate more autonomous and motivated learners.

Abstract

English has become an essential communication tool in modern military contexts, particularly in multinational operations and international cooperation. However, many military personnel still experience difficulties in using English effectively for professional communication. This study aims to examine the role of English for Military Purposes (EMP) in enhancing military personnel’s communication skills. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design using a library research method and needs analysis guided by ESP theory. The findings reveal that while reading skills are dominant for interpreting technical manuals, there is a significant gap in speaking and listening proficiency required for operational tasks. The study concludes that a needs-based and task-oriented EMP program, incorporating authentic materials and simulations, can significantly improve communication effectiveness and confidence in military professional settings.

Abstract

The Majelis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA) in Hinai District, Langkat Regency, holds a strategic potential as an agent of religious transformation through da’wah (Islamic outreach), focusing on the teachings of aqidah (creed) and a direct understanding of the Qur’an and authentic Hadith. However, this role is confronted by complex challenges, including the diversity of religious interpretations within the community, the deep-rooted local traditions, and the influence of globalization and cultural acculturation, which potentially undermine the foundations of tawhid (monotheism). The primary objective of this research is to examine the role of MTA in strengthening the community's aqidah, as well as identifying the effective da’wah programs and methods within the socio-cultural context of Hinai District. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving MTA administrators and congregants. The findings indicate that MTA plays a significant role in reinforcing the understanding of tawhid through a systematic and adaptive scripturalist approach, such as sequential tafsir (exegesis) studies, Q&A sessions, group discussions, and socio-religious activities. These approaches have encouraged a shift in religious patterns from traditional taqlid (unquestioning imitation) toward critical and rational ittiba’ (following with evidence). This research concludes that MTA serves as a relevant and sustainable model of purification da’wah in fostering the purity of aqidah and the quality of faith amidst contemporary socio-cultural challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the hidden meanings in Ruth B.’s song “Dandelions” through a semantic approach. The study aims to reveal how simple lyrical expressions construct deeper emotional and symbolic meanings beyond their literal interpretation. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research analyzes selected lyric lines by focusing on denotative meaning, connotative meaning, metaphor, symbolism, and imagery. The findings show that connotative meaning is the dominant semantic element, indicating that the song communicates its message mainly through implied and emotional meanings rather than direct expression. The word “dandelions” functions symbolically as a representation of fragile hope, wishes, and emotional uncertainty, while the metaphor “I see forever in your eyes” reflects an imagined future and emotional commitment. The analysis also reveals a gradual emotional progression from attraction and idealization to hope, longing, and uncertainty. These findings suggest that the simplicity of the lyrics does not reduce their semantic richness; instead, it strengthens the emotional accessibility of the song. Therefore, this study confirms that popular song lyrics can be examined as meaningful linguistic texts that reflect human emotions, personal desires, and hidden layers of meaning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality management of science laboratories at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 4 Jombang. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design was employed. Data were gathered through interviews with the laboratory head and science teachers, supplemented by journal articles, theses, websites, laboratory work program documents, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the quality management of the science laboratory at MTsN 4 Jombang is structured around four primary dimensions: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. Planning is demonstrated by the formulation of work programs, usage schedules, and pre-practicum SOPs. Organizing is reflected in the distribution of roles among the headmaster, laboratory head, laboratory assistants, science teachers, and students. Practicum implementation is supported by equipment usage procedures, laboratory rules, utilization administration, and occupational safety regulations. Supervision is carried out through activity logging, equipment inspection, damage reporting, and occupational health and safety (OHS) risk management. Nonetheless, laboratory management still faces constraints related to facility availability.

Abstract

This study examines the function of the mosque as a space for nurturing the morality of Muslim youth. It employs a qualitative field research approach conducted among the youth community of Abidin Mosque in Medan City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving key informants consisting of mosque youth, parents, and members of the Mosque Welfare Board (Badan Kesejahteraan Masjid/BKM). The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that pengajian, or Islamic study gatherings, serve as the main medium for youth moral formation through the teaching of fiqh, aqidah, and religious values that become the foundation of ethical conduct. This process is reinforced through role modelling, worship practices, and social habituation, which foster respect, tolerance, and moral responsibility in young people's daily lives. The study also finds that youth moral formation in the mosque takes place integratively through the involvement of mosque administrators, parents, and the wider social environment, although it faces obstacles such as limited family and parental support. This article argues for a more strategic role of the mosque in shaping the morality of Muslim youth, while also underscoring the importance of understanding the mosque's place in the lives of contemporary Muslim young people.

Abstract

This article examines the orientation of Islamic political thought in fostering the political awareness of Muslim youth in the digital era. The rapid development of information technology and social media has significantly transformed the ways in which young people access information, shape their political perspectives, and participate in democratic processes. While digital platforms have expanded access to political information, they have also intensified challenges such as the spread of political misinformation, social polarization, and the decline of ethical conduct in the digital public sphere. This study employs a library research approach by reviewing scholarly literature related to Islamic political thought and contemporary political dynamics. The findings reveal that the fundamental values of Islamic political thought serve as a moral foundation for developing the political awareness of Muslim youth, enabling them to become critical, moderate, and responsible citizens. These values encourage constructive political participation in national and civic life. The study concludes that Islamic political thought remains relevant as a moral and intellectual framework for strengthening political literacy and democratic participation among Muslim youth in the digital era

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects to improve students' understanding and practice of religious values ​​in their daily lives. This study uses a literature study type of research by collecting related data on contextual components in Islamic Education learning in schools. The results of the study indicate that PAI learning with a contextual approach successfully transforms the learning process from mere memorization of material into a meaningful learning experience. Implementation is carried out through seven main components of CTL: constructivism, inquiry, questioning, learning communities, modeling, reflection, and authentic assessment. This approach has been proven to increase active student involvement, strengthen character, and make it easier for students to connect PAI materials (morals, fiqh, history) with the context of real-life everyday situations. Conclusion: Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an effective strategy to improve PAI learning outcomes both academically and affectively. This approach makes Islamic Education more relevant and applicable, thus producing students who are not only cognitively intelligent, but also have good morals in society.
