Abstract

Background: Arabic vocabulary instruction in Islamic elementary schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) is often hindered by low student motivation and a reliance on rote memorization, which is particularly ineffective for concrete themes like diseases (al-amrāḍ). This highlights a critical need for developmentally appropriate visual media. Aims: This research aims to: (1) design thematic flashcard media on al-amrāḍ for third-grade students, (2) evaluate the media's validity through expert judgment, and (3) assess its practicality and impact on student engagement. Methods: Employing a Research and Development (R&D) framework, this study utilized the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). The process began with a needs analysis through observation and interviews, followed by the design and validation of flashcards by experts in Arabic language education, media, and linguistics. A limited trial with 22 third-grade students at MI Miftahul Akhlaqiyah, Semarang, was conducted to evaluate practicality and student perceptions through observation and response questionnaires. Results: The flashcards achieved high validity scores from experts: 88% (content), 83% (linguistics), and 75% (media). Student responses were exceptionally positive, with an overall practicality rating of 95%, particularly appreciating the visual appeal, ease of use, and increased motivation. The findings indicate that the flashcards effectively facilitate vocabulary acquisition by creating clear visual-lexical connections. Implications: The al-amrāḍ flashcards are a valid and practical learning medium that effectively addresses pedagogical gaps in elementary Arabic instruction. This research underscores the importance of integrating visual design with linguistic accuracy for young learners. Practically, the flashcards offer an engaging, interactive alternative to traditional methods. Theoretically, it contributes to the discourse on multimedia design for early language acquisition within religious education contexts.

Abstract

Background: Arabic listening lessons often rely on passive audio repetition, leaving students with little opportunity to check their understanding or receive immediate feedback. This condition slows their progress, especially in recognizing key phonemes and responding accurately. Aims: This study aims to develop and validate a web-based interactive listening tool using text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-recognition (ASR) to support students’ Arabic listening proficiency. Methods: The research followed the Dick, Carey & Carey model through the stages of analysis, design, development, and expert validation. Data were collected through needs analysis, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers to identify learners’ challenges in Arabic listening. After the prototype was created, expert judgment sheets were used to gather validation data from design and content specialists. The responses were then analyzed using percentage-based validity scoring to determine the feasibility of the media. The prototype integrated web-based TTS and ASR modules, specifying platform architecture, speech engines, supported languages, and technical parameters to ensure replicability. Results: The results show that the media supports active listening practice and helps address common learner difficulties, particularly in phoneme recognition and comprehension. TTS provided clear and natural audio, while ASR offered direct corrective feedback. Expert assessments indicated high feasibility, with a design validity score of 92% and content validity of 87%. Implications: The findings indicate that TTS–ASR integration can ease teachers’ correction workload and help students practice more independently, offering practical potential for broader classroom use.

Abstract

Background: The preservation of local literature rooted in oral traditions faces new challenges and opportunities in the digital era. Digital technologies enable documentation and wider dissemination, yet they also raise concerns about cultural authenticity, community sovereignty, and sustainability. A systematic synthesis is required to clarify current scholarly directions. Aims: This study aims to: (1) identify dominant themes and research approaches in recent studies on the digital preservation of local literatures; (2) examine how scholars conceptualize the shift from oral to digital forms; and (3) analyze the documented educational impact of digitization within indigenous and local communities. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches across Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest covered English and Indonesian publications from 2010–2025. Studies focused on preserving local literary content were included, while purely technical works were excluded. Data were synthesized through thematic analysis. Results: Six thematic clusters emerged: Digital Tools and Innovation; Community Participation and Co-Creation; Ethical Access and Cultural Protocols; Multimedia Storytelling; Digital Knowledge Management; and Collaborative Institutional Models. Scholars largely frame digital transition as cultural continuity and narrative hybridity shaped by technology but grounded in community stewardship and digital sovereignty. Educationally, digitization enhances reading comprehension, writing skills, engagement, accessibility, and cultural relevance. Implications: Effective preservation requires culturally grounded, participatory, and multidisciplinary approaches. Policymakers and practitioners should strengthen community-led digital stewardship, establish ethical access guidelines, and integrate digitized local literatures into curricula for sustainable cultural continuity.

Abstract

Background: The quality of assessment instruments is essential to ensure that students’ learning outcomes are measured accurately. In Arabic language learning, Final Semester Assessments (PAS) must be supported by sound psychometric qualities to function as valid and reliable evaluation tools. Aims: This study aims to examine the quality profile of Arabic PAS items at MAN 1 Gresik by analysing their psychometric characteristics and identifying items that are feasible, need revision, or are not feasible for use. Methods: This research employed a quantitative descriptive design using psychometric item analysis. The data consisted of 40 multiple-choice PAS items and students’ response sheets. The analysis integrated content and construct validity with empirical indicators, including point-biserial validity, KR-20 reliability, item difficulty, and item discrimination, using Microsoft Excel and ANATES V4. Results: The results show that content validity reached 92.5%, construct validity reached 82.85%, and empirical validity was moderate (r = 0.60). The overall test reliability was high (r₁₁ = 0.75). Item difficulty is dominated by medium-level items, while item discrimination is the weakest aspect. Based on integrated psychometric criteria, 40% of items are feasible, 57,5% require revision, and 2,5% are non feasible. The causes of the failure of the test items, content validity (7.5%), construct validity (42.5%), empirical validity (2.5%), level of difficulty (12.5%), and discrimination index (22.5%). Implications: These findings highlight the importance of systematic psychometric evaluation in Arabic language assessment. Improvements are needed in construct validity, especially Arabic language accuracy, distractor effectiveness, and item discrimination. Such an approach supports the improvement of school-based Arabic assessments to ensure more valid and reliable measurement of students’ learning outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel's military attacks on Palestine have become increasingly brutal, sparking massive protests by students at Western universities.  Al Jazeera plays a significant role in shaping public perception of this discourse. In its reporting, Al Jazeera frequently uses metaphors. The fire metaphor is among the most effective and is often used in various contexts. Aims: This research aims to examine the conceptual metaphor of fire in Al Jazeera Arabic's discourse on pro-Palestinian student protests at western universities and reveal its ideological functions. Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with analysis grounded in conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) (Lakoff & Johnson, 2003). The data source was pro-Palestinian student protest discourse on Al Jazeera Arabic. Data analysis uses the metaphor identification procedure (MIP) by the Pragglejaz Group. Results: These findings reveal that Al Jazeera Arabic uses lexemes related to fire to conceptualize and frame pro-Palestinian student protests at Western universities. Among the thirteen lexemes found, ʔimtadda ‘spread’ (19 data), ʔintašara 'spread' (12 data), and šarārah 'spark' (12 data) appear most frequently to highlight the rapid escalation of the protest movement and its massive impact. The metaphorical mapping of all the lexemes found constructs the conceptual metaphor PROTEST IS FIRE, highlighting student action as a significant and impactful force like fire. Implications: The significance of this research lies in its contribution to expanding the understanding of how the fire metaphors is not only a linguistic feature but also a cognitive and ideological device for shaping public perceptions of pro-Palestinian protests.

Abstract

Background: The success of reading skill learning greatly depends on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, which involves quality, accuracy, motivation, and time management. Aims: This research aims to analyze the teaching of reading skills from the perspective of effective learning using the QAIT model, which includes quality, appropriateness, incentive, and time. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative case study analyzed through Slavin’s perspective. The subjects consist of a teacher and eight placement-based beginner students at Madrasatul Alsun Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data condensation, data presentation, and data verification. Results: The quality of reading skills instruction is characterized by structured and sequential teaching materials, which are further reinforced through question-answer exchanges, direct instruction methods, and the strategic use of concrete objects and visual media. This instructional design is appropriately tailored to learners' diverse needs, as texts are developed gradually in accordance with the input hypothesis (i+1), while differentiated instruction allows high-ability students to engage with entire texts and lower-ability peers to read at their respective proficiency levels. Furthermore, learning motivation is actively cultivated through the teacher's deliberate efforts to build students' readiness, introduce key vocabulary at the outset of each lesson, and deliver positive feedback as a form of reinforcement. Complementing these pedagogical strategies, time is managed effectively through a consistent 90-minute allocation per session, which is further supported by the provision of a substitute teacher to guarantee uninterrupted instructional continuity. Implications: The findings of this study indicate that the integration of material quality, strategy accuracy, learner motivation, and time management serves as an essential foundation for Arabic language learning that is more adaptive, contextual, and oriented toward students’ competency achievement.

Abstract

Background: The Palestinian–Israeli conflict extends beyond territorial and political struggles, producing enduring social, cultural, and psychological suffering, particularly for Palestinian women whose experiences are frequently marginalized within colonial and patriarchal discourses. Aims: This study examines the representation of Palestinian women as a subaltern group in Fadwa Tuqan’s poem إليهم وراء القضبان through the perspective of Gayatri C. Spivak’s theory of subalternity. Methods: This research employs a qualitative literary textual analysis. Data were collected through close reading and note-taking techniques applied to the poem and relevant scholarly literature. The primary data consist of the selected poem, while secondary data include books and journal articles on postcolonial feminism. The analysis focuses on epistemic violence, the politics of representation, and the problem of subaltern speech to investigate how women’s voices are marginalized and how the poem creates alternative spaces for resistance. Results: Based on twenty-nine textual units identified from close reading, including significant verses, symbolic diction, and recurring thematic patterns, the findings reveal that Palestinian women are portrayed as subaltern subjects who experience structural oppression under colonial domination and patriarchal power. Simultaneously, they emerge as active agents of resistance who preserve national identity, collective memory, and cultural continuity despite systematic silencing. Implications: This study demonstrates that literary works function not only as artistic expressions but also as sites of resistance that challenge dominant narratives and amplify marginalized voices. Furthermore, the findings contribute to postcolonial feminist scholarship by highlighting literature’s critical role in representing subaltern women’s experiences within contexts of colonialism, displacement, resistance, and historical injustice across diverse contexts.

Abstract

Background: In order to provide contextual, relevant, and culturally responsive learning, especially in primary school, it has become more crucial to incorporate local culture into English language instruction. The incorporation of Manadonese culture into English teaching materials, especially at the elementary madrasah level, has been the subject of little empirical research. As a result, it emphasizes the necessity of examining the needs of both teachers and students in order to provide pertinent instructional resources. Aims: The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers and students need to integrate Manadonese local culture into English language learning resources, and to identify cultural components that can help Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) in Manado City, Indonesia creates contextual English teaching materials for fifth-grade pupils. Methods: This preliminary study represents the Analysis phase of the ADDIE instructional design model, selected because needs analysis provides essential information about learners’ characteristics, difficulties, and cultural resources as the foundation for developing relevant teaching materials. The participants were 51 students and two English teachers from MIN I and MIN II Manado. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed descriptively. Results: The results indicate that students need additional contextualized learning materials since they have trouble understanding fundamental English items, especially nouns and adjectives. The creation of English resources based on local culture was endorsed by 95% of pupils. Concrete cultural content, such as customary games, regional cuisine, and tourism destinations, was preferred by the students. Teachers likewise had positive opinions on incorporating Manadonese culture, but they also mentioned difficulties with a lack of instructional resources and implementation support. Implications: This study contributes to the development of culturally responsive English teaching materials by providing empirical evidence of learners’ and teachers’ needs and identifying relevant cultural elements for contextual learning resources.

Abstract

Background: English is now mandatory in Indonesian elementary schools, but vocabulary is still often taught through memorized lists from textbooks. Meanwhile, the curriculum emphasizes deep learning, yet interactive digital media that support both engagement and understanding remain scarce at this level. Aims: This study developed gamification media grounded in the deep learning approach, and examined their validity, practicality, and effectiveness for improving mastery of Parts of the Body vocabulary among fifth-grade elementary school students. Methods: Research and Development (R&D) was conducted using the 4D model of Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel (1974). Participants were four experts and 26 fifth-grade students of SDN 5 Limboto, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Effectiveness was examined through a one-group pre-test-post-test design, using expert validation sheets, a student response questionnaire, and a vocabulary achievement test. Results: The media were rated highly valid, with validation scores of 87.06% (media expert), 87.37% (content expert), and 86.76% (deep learning teaching-module experts), giving an overall mean of 87.06%. Student responses placed the media in the highly practical category, and observed active participation averaged 87.94%. The class mean rose from 42.31 on the pre-test to 78.85 on the post-test, a gain of 36.54 points, with a normalised gain of 0.63 in the medium category; 24 of 26 students (92.31%) reached the minimum criterion of learning goals. Implications: Six web platforms (Baamboozle, Educaplay, Blooket, BookWidgets, Kahoot, and Canva) arranged across three phases offer primary English teachers a workable model in which game elements are assigned to distinct instructional functions rather than applied uniformly.

Abstract

Background: The evolution of communication in the digital era has led to increasingly flexible and dynamic language practices in everyday interactions. Social media, serving as a virtual public space, enables bilingual and multilingual users to combine multiple languages within a single utterance, a phenomenon known as translanguaging. Aims: This study aims to identify the forms of translanguaging in posts on the X platform and analyze their role in shaping users’ digital identities during institutional crises. Methods: The research employs a qualitative approach using Susan Herring’s (2004) Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA) framework. The dataset consists of a small purposive corpus of seven posts discussing academic sexual harassment cases on Indonesian X, collected through documentation and analyzed through coding, categorization, and interpretative analysis. Results: The findings revealed that code-mixing is the dominant form of translanguaging, accompanied by limited instances of hybrid language forms. These linguistic practices function to express emotions, reinforce opinions, deliver social criticism, and address systemic institutional issues. The examined cases indicate that translanguaging serves as a highly deliberate, context-sensitive discursive strategy to navigate context collapse, manage audience design, and establish positioning in digital interactions. Furthermore, language choices project fluid, multifaceted personas, shifting between intellectual, critical, and empathetic positionings. Implications: The study demonstrates that translanguaging is not merely a linguistic phenomenon but also a social practice closely tied to citizen agency, self-representation, and the dynamics of digital communication during crisis situations.
