Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran maharah kalam melalui video interaktif berbasis kontekstual serta menguji efektivitasnya dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa dalam Bahasa Arab. Permasalahan yang mendasari penelitian ini adalah rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap maharah kalam serta terbatasnya variasi media pembelajaran yang tersedia di SMP Islam Az Zahrah 1 Palembang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan enam tahap utama, yaitu identifikasi potensi dan masalah, pengumpulan data, perancangan produk, validasi, revisi, serta uji coba produk. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dokumentasi, dan penyebaran kuesioner untuk memperoleh informasi mengenai kebutuhan siswa terhadap media pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peserta didik membutuhkan media yang lebih menarik dan interaktif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara dalam Bahasa Arab. Validasi yang dilakukan oleh ahli materi menunjukkan tingkat kelayakan sebesar 90% dengan kategori "sangat baik", sementara validasi oleh ahli media memperoleh skor 86,6% dengan kategori "baik". Untuk mengukur efektivitas media yang dikembangkan, dilakukan uji coba pada dua kelompok siswa, yaitu kelompok eksperimen yang menggunakan video interaktif dan kelompok kontrol yang tidak menggunakannya. Hasil perbandingan skor pre-test dan post-test dari 30 siswa menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan, dengan skor pre-test sebesar 60,1% dan skor post-test meningkat menjadi 88,1%. Selain itu, tanggapan siswa terhadap media pembelajaran ini mencapai 78%, yang menunjukkan bahwa produk ini valid dan dapat digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran. Berdasarkan temuan ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan video interaktif berbasis kontekstual efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan berbicara siswa dalam Bahasa Arab serta dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran di tingkat sekolah menengah.

Abstract

For over a decade, the unceasing dissemination of English as a global language, consciously or not, has influenced the concepts of the ELT across the world. Some countries persist in the adaptation of the concepts of EFL or ESL in their practical ELT contexts wherein the cultures of the inner-circle countries, like the US and the British, are still dominant in their teaching materials. Others; however, prefer to alternate the ELT concepts to either EIL or ELF in their own teaching contexts in which the cultural contexts in the teaching materials are the integrations of the cultures of the inner-circles, the outer-circle, and the expanded countries or the international cultures along with their own local cultures. This paper aimed to overview the deconstruction of the formulation concepts of the cultural dominance in the ELT textbook in the context of Indonesia’s high schools. This review addresses the dichotomies of the concepts of EFL/ESL, EILand ELF along with the cultural dominances embedded on the conceptual terms. This study is literature -based research when collecting data through extensive and critical reading and analysis of existing academic works related to ELT, cultural representation, and linguistic imperialism. Thisstudy draws on existing academic works to explore how the hegemony of English is embedded in English textbooks. The result of this study shows that the linguistics imperialism continues shaping the materials and sources of ELT textbooksin Indonesia. The content and structed of Indonesian ELT textbooks highlight the cultural values and perspective of inner-circle countries. Although EFL concept is still dominated in Indonesian context, there is a growing awareness of the need to shift towards more inclusive curriculum when local content and perspective more embedded. Further, this research elucidates critical reflections on an ideology, economy, and politics of language the linguistics Imperialism, as well as possible recommendation to what possible, applicable concepts should be adjusted to the Indonesia’s ELT textbook.

Abstract

Lelakaq, a traditional poetic form of the Sasak community in Lombok, represents a cultural expression that reflects the values, social structure, and spirituality of its people. This study explores the position of Lelakaq within the cosmology, traditions, and value systems of the Sasak society using Lévi-Strauss’s structuralist approach. Lelakaq functions not only as an aesthetic medium but also as an instrument for transmitting moral, religious, and social values across generations. The findings show that Lelakaq illustrates the relationship between humans and God (hablun minallah), social relations within the Sasak community (hablun minannas), and the connection between humans and nature (hablun minal ‘alam). This tradition also records historical journeys, legends, myths, and the cultural dynamics of the Sasak people—shaped by influences from Hindu-Buddhist traditions, Balinese culture, Majapahit, Islam, and local beliefs such as Wetu Telu and Sasak Boda. Furthermore, Lelakaq serves as a means of character education that instills the values of tindih (steadfastness), maliq (avoiding prohibitions), and merang (creativity and adaptability). Through linguistic symbols and metaphors, Lelakaq conveys guidance on ethics, Islamic spirituality, awareness of mortality, and harmonious social living. In addition, the diversity of Sasak dialects enriches the forms and styles of Lelakaq, reflecting the linguistic complexity and social identity of its speakers. This study concludes that Lelakaq functions as a cultural mirror of Sasak life, intertwining tradition, religion, history, and local wisdom. Thus, Lelakaq is not merely a literary heritage but also a value system that sustains the cultural identity of the Sasak people in the face of evolving times.
