Abstract

Language functions not only as a means of communication, but also as a medium that represents a society's worldview and spiritual values. Within this context, religious expressions in Javanese and Arabic reflect the ways in which societies perceive the relationship between humans and God. This study examines the similarities in linguistic representation and philosophical meaning in these expressions. This study used a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative linguistic and hermeneutic analyses with descriptive quantitative analysis. The research data consisted of 39 expressions related to divine attributes, which portrayed the relationship between humans and God, gathered from written Javanese texts and verses from the Qur’an and Arabic wisdom expressions. The data were obtained through documentation technique and analyzed by identifying the lexemes, syntactic structures, and the philosophical meanings reflected in the expressions. The findings reveal those expressions in both languages indicate four underlying philosophical meanings: reverence, submission, devotion, and humility. These meanings are reflected in the occurrence of identical or synonymous lexicons and in the syntactic structures of both languages. Findings of this study demonstrate conceptual harmony in interpreting the vertical relationship between humans and God, which also illustrates the historical and cultural interaction between Javanese traditions and Islamic teachings. This study provides a contribution to linguistic and hermeneutic studies, particularly in understanding language as a medium that represents the religious values and philosophical views of society.

Abstract

Blended learning plays an important role in teaching writing and offers new prospects for enhancing autonomous learning in writing instruction for the Indonesian educational context. This study investigates the effectiveness of blended learning on students’ autonomous learning and writing achievement. This study employed a mixed-method research design, with sixty-six students from a private university in Malang, Indonesia, participating in the study, engaging in blended learning sessions comprising both online and face-to-face components. Findings indicate a significant interaction between blended learning and learners’ autonomy, positively influencing students’ writing proficiency. The study revealed a p-value of 0.029. The p-value is lower than the significance level of 0.05, which means that sig = 0.029 < 0.05. Based on the statistical computation’s outcomes, it can be inferred that the effect of blended learning depends on Autonomous Learning. This suggests that Autonomous Learning and blended learning both have an impact on students’ ability to write. Cooperatively, blended learning and autonomous learning have an interactive rather than additive impact on writing achievement. While the study underscores the potential benefits of blended learning, limitations include its focus on a specific student demographic and educational setting, potentially limiting generalizability. Implications suggest that educators consider integrating blended learning to enhance student engagement and writing skills.
