Abstract

Descriptive writing skills are an essential component of Indonesian language learning. However, many students struggle to express their ideas coherently and clearly. One contributing factor is the lack of contextual and engaging teaching materials. This study aims to develop digital literacy-based teaching materials for descriptive texts to improve the writing skills of seventh-grade students at MTs Zia Salsabila Bandar Setia. The research employed a Research and Development (RD) method using the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data collection techniques included expert validation (content, language, and media), questionnaires for students and teachers, and writing tests (pretest and posttest). Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods by calculating percentages and N-gain scores. The validation results indicated that the teaching materials were highly appropriate, with scores of 100% from the content expert, 93% from the language expert, and 90% from the media expert. Practicality was rated as excellent, based on student responses from the small group (91.8%) and large group (94.56%), and teacher responses (96%). The effectiveness of the materials was demonstrated by an increase in the average score from the pretest (56%) to the posttest (89%), with an N-gain score of 0.75, indicating a high level of improvement. These findings show that the digital literacy-based descriptive text teaching materials are effective in enhancing students’ writing skills. The study recommends the use of such materials as an innovative and interactive alternative in Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of students at MA Muhammadiyah 01 Medan to write anecdotal texts, which requires innovative learning media to make the learning process more engaging and effective. The primary objective of this research was to develop a character video learning media that is valid, practical, and effective in improving the anecdotal text writing skills of tenth-grade students. The study employed a Research and Development (RD) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects consisted of tenth-grade students and experts who validated the content, media, and language aspects. Data collection techniques included observation, expert validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires for teachers and students, and post-tests to measure students’ learning outcomes. Expert validation results indicated that the character video media is highly feasible for use, with high validity scores. Practicality tests from teacher questionnaires scored 97%, student questionnaires scored 89%, and learning implementation scored 91, all categorized as very good, indicating that the media is highly suitable and easy to apply in the learning process. Moreover, post-test results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to write anecdotal texts after using the character video media. These findings confirm that the use of character video media provides a more interactive and contextual learning experience compared to conventional methods such as lectures. This study contributes significantly to the development of digital learning media, particularly for Indonesian language subjects, and can serve as a reference for educators in creating learning materials that align with students’ needs and interests.

Abstract

Textbooks are an important component of BIPA learning. In this textbook, the use of language can reflect Indonesian nationalism. Indonesian nationalism must be introduced to BIPA 1 learners because BIPA 1 learners need to obtain initial schemata and perceptions about Indonesia. This study aims to reveal the representation of the Indonesian language and the construction of national identity in the BIPA 1 textbook: Sahabatku Indonesia through the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach modeled after Norman Fairclough. This textbook not only functions as a medium for language learning but also as an ideological tool that shapes the discourse of linguistic nationalism. This study uses a qualitative approach with data analysis of verbal and visual texts, and learning tasks in five main units. The data source in this study is the BIPA level 1 textbook. This book was chosen because it is the first learning material for foreigners who want to learn Indonesian, so it must represent Indonesian values. The data in this study are dialogues, texts, and practice questions. The results of the study show two major themes: (1) Indonesian is represented as a homogeneous and official national identity, and (2) language is used as an instrument of social regulation and power relations. This representation shows that Indonesians in the BIPA 1 textbook are not neutral but ideologically charged, reflecting linguistic nationalism and Indonesia's unique social value system. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that language is part of ideological construction, not merely a tool for communication. These results reinforce the notion that the BIPA 1 textbook can serve as a space for the production of discourse that constructs specific social identities.

Abstract

Banua Language is one of the languages originating from the province of East Kalimantan. Banua Language is part of the Austronesian language family. This research on Banua Language uses a syntactic typology approach. The aim of this study is to explain the behavior of subjects in clause construction within Banua Language. As a regional language in East Kalimantan, Banua Language has a unique syntactic structure. Not much research has been done on the function and position of subjects in this language. Therefore, this study examines subjecthood through canonical position, relativization, and control, the three main tools according to Keenan and Comrie (1983). The distributional method was used to analyze data collected from native speakers through elicitation and uninvolved observation techniques. The study shows that in Banua Language, the subject always precedes the verb in both intransitive and transitive clauses. Additionally, the subject can be relativized exclusively using the form "anu". Furthermore, the subject can be controlled in serial verb constructions, but arguments without subjects do not exhibit the same characteristics. The findings indicate that Banua Language has subjecthood properties that align with universal syntactic principles and contribute to the typological mapping of Indonesian languages. The theoretical implication of this research is expected to strengthen the theory of subjecthood from a syntactic typology perspective and provide a global linguistic database. In addition, the practical implication expected from this research is to serve as a means for preserving the regional language and a foundation for developing the Banua Language grammar.

Abstract

The low proficiency in the Indonesian language among residents of Kokoda Village serves as the primary background for this study, which is influenced by limited access to formal education and the complex socio-cultural context of the community. This research aims to measure the improvement in participants’ Indonesian language skills after engaging in a learning program designed with a contextual and participatory approach, as well as to understand the level of participant engagement throughout the program implementation. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving 45 participants as research subjects. Data were collected through tests assessing writing, reading, and speaking abilities in Indonesian. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data processing, data management, and result interpretation, to provide a comprehensive overview of participants’ skill development. The findings reveal significant improvements across all language skill areas: reading ability increased to an average of 72%, writing ability reached 80%, and speaking ability reached 69%. Additionally, participant engagement was high, with 84% consistently attending at least 75% of the learning sessions, indicating strong motivation fostered through an interactive learning approach that integrates local content. The study’s implications highlight the importance of implementing learning programs that are sensitive to socio-cultural contexts and empower local facilitators to enhance functional literacy in remote areas. This approach not only improves learning outcomes but also supports program sustainability by strengthening social and cultural bonds within the community. The research provides recommendations for the development of more responsive educational programs that address the specific needs and characteristics of indigenous communities in future initiatives

Abstract

Low student participation in communication during Arabic language learning often poses a significant barrier to the development of language proficiency. One of the psychological factors believed to influence this participation is self-confidence, which is closely associated with the concept of Willingness to Communicate (WTC). WTC reflects an individual's readiness to initiate communication in a second or foreign language, and it is considered a critical predictor of successful language use in instructional contexts. This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-confidence and WTC in the context of Arabic language learning. Employing a quantitative research design with a survey approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to university students. The data were then analyzed using correlation techniques to examine the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between self-confidence and WTC, suggesting that students with higher self-confidence levels are more likely to engage actively in communication during language learning activities. These results contribute to the field of language education by highlighting the importance of psychological factors in communicative competence. The study underscores the need to incorporate strategies that foster students’ self-confidence as a means to enhance their willingness to communicate, thereby promoting more effective and interactive Arabic language instruction.

Abstract

The Mars Pusat Ma’had al-Jâmi’ah song is a symbolic representation of the institutional identity of the Pusat Ma’had al-Jâmi’ah at the State Islamic University of Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This song not only expresses institutional spirit but also illustrates a harmonious integration of Javanese cultural elements and Islamic religious values. This study aims to explore the religious values embedded in the song’s lyrics and uncover their implicit meanings using Riffaterre’s semiotic theory. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through intensive reading and textual annotation. Analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, involving data collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that the song serves not only as an aesthetic expression but also as an ideological and educational medium. The matrix or underlying meaning lies in the Ma’had’s mission to nurture a Qur’anic generation. This is reflected through two dominant models: the development of Qur’anic character and the reinforcement of Islamic symbols (syi’ar Islam) in social contexts. Key religious values identified include unwavering faith, personal and social piety, and sincere devotion to Islamic teachings reflected in real-life actions. Additionally, the song acts as a medium for internalizing spiritual values and affirming the cultural and religious identity of pesantren-based education. The findings imply that institutional mars songs hold potential as effective instruments for character development and the transmission of Islamic values, particularly in strengthening the cultural-spiritual identity within Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

Along with the development of the times, national values are increasingly eroded by foreign cultures that easily enter Indonesia. An example of the influence of foreign culture is the Korean Wave, which Indonesian teenagers widely love. This is caused by the weakness of national values possessed by the young generation in Indonesia. National values themselves need to be instilled from an early age until adolescence to avoid various problems that often occur in the teenage environment, such as the decline in politeness and the forgetting of Pancasila values among teenagers. National values need to be instilled by utilizing various available media. One of the media that can be used is the Jaran Pegon art, which still has many fans to this day. Therefore, this study aims to explain the national valuescontained in the Jaran Pegon culture, which is typical of Kediri. This study is classified as qualitative research, utilizing interview techniques with relevant parties to gather the necessary information. The results obtained from this study reveal the presence of strong national values, such as divinity, unity, and patriotism, in the art of Jaran Pegon and Javanese songs used within this art form. With many enthusiasts spread across Kediri and its surroundings, Jaran Pegon has the opportunity to instill national values in the general public through its performing arts.

Abstract

This study examines acts of sexism in the novel Tuhan Ijinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur through a qualitative approach using critical discourse analysis. Data collection was carried out through documentation studies. The data were then analyzed through three stages, namely description, interpretation, and explanation. This study focuses on textual excerpts that contain sexist elements against men and women. Through a critical discourse analysis approach, the novel Tuhan Ijinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur by Muhidin M. Dahlan reveals how language and narrative are used to reproduce, challenge, and deconstruct male power over women and female power over men in society. The research findings reveal two main forms of sexism in the novel. First, sexism against men is depicted through gender stereotypes that depict men as strong, responsible, and the main breadwinners for the family. In addition, men in the novel experience various forms of violence and sexual harassment, including physical violence and verbal abuse. This depiction reinforces rigid gender expectations that limit male identity to certain roles and behaviors. Second, sexism against women is manifested through stereotypes that impose expectations of nurturing, obedience, and moral purity. Women are subjected to acts of violence and sexual harassment, reflecting the broader social injustices they face. The novel illustrates how gender constructs contribute to oppression and inequality. Through its narrative, Tuhan Izinkan Aku Menjadi Pelacur presents sexism as a multidimensional issue that affects both genders. A critical discourse analysis of the novel reveals that the work not only presents the personal narratives of a woman and a man, but also serves as a tool for social critique that challenges gender constructs and sexism that are deeply rooted in society. The novel encourages readers to reflect on and question social and religious norms that have been accepted uncritically, and advocates for the importance of gender equality and individual freedom.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the meaning of swear words in Deli Malay through the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (MSA). The focus of the study is directed at the forms of metaphors and allusions that represent the expression of anger of the Deli Malay community in the city of Medan and its surroundings. The data studied are in the form of oral speech obtained from native speakers aged over 40 years who use BM Deli in everyday life. The data collection technique was carried out using the listening method, with advanced techniques in the form of listening with conversation and listening without conversation. Data analysis was carried out using the MSA-based semantic element and explication separation technique to reveal the original meaning of each form of swearing. The results of the study show that angry swearing in Deli Malay does not only function as an emotional release, but also as a reflection of the local cultural value and cognition system. The swearing systematically utilizes linguistic references such as body parts, kinship terms, animals, professions and social activities, which have the meaning of “bad”, “doing”, “feeling”, “knowing”, and “happening” in the original meaning structure. The MSA theory makes an important contribution in identifying universal meaning elements and at the same time explaining cultural specificities in the linguistic expressions of the Deli Malay community. Thus, this study strengthens the position of MSA as an effective theory in explaining the relationship between language, emotion, and culture from a cross-linguistic semantic perspective.
