Abstract

Prajuritan dance of Semarang Regency embodies profound cultural values. This study was conducted in response to the lack of research specifically examining the lingual elements of Prajuritan dance from an ethnolinguistic perspective. Although the dance contains linguistic expressions that reflect local cultural values, these have gradually been neglected due to its declining popularity within the community. This study aims to analyze the forms of lingual units in Prajuritan dance in Semarang Regency through an ethnolinguistic lens to uncover both their lexical and cultural meanings. A qualitative method was employed, utilizing an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, audio recordings, and field notes from informants who are traditional artists in Semarang Regency. The data were then analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed 61 lingual units in Prajuritan dance, including 21 monomorphemic words, 7 polymorphemic words, and 33 phrases. These units are classified into six categories: paraga, busana, ubarampe, accompaniment, movement, and gelar. Each unit carries not only lexical meanings but also cultural values embedded in traditional roles and expressions. Ultimately, Prajuritan dance is not merely a performing art, but a cultural repository that safeguards ancestral wisdom and must be preserved for future generations.

Abstract

The batik industry, as part of Indonesia’s creative economy and cultural heritage, faces challenges in maintaining competitiveness while preserving traditional values. This study aims to examine the work ethic patterns of batik entrepreneurs in Girilayu Village, Matesih District, Karanganyar Regency, and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in strengthening them. A qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions with members of the Batik Giriarum association. The findings show that the work ethic of Girilayu batik makers is marked by flexible time management, independence, and economic motivation based on direct needs. The diffusion of productive values occurs through social agents such as group leaders and senior artisans. Supporting factors include collective culture, personal responsibility, and community support, while the absence of structured time management, incentive systems, and training serves as an inhibiting factor. Using Rogers’ innovation diffusion theory, the study concludes that strengthening the community-based work ethic is crucial for sustaining local creative industries.

Abstract

Reading is a fundamental language skill that plays a key role in students’ academic success, yet in faith-based schools English reading instruction often lacks integration with Islamic values and character formation. While previous studies have highlighted the need for contextualized materials, limited research has offered a systematic model that aligns English reading with Islamic content and the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikukum Merdeka). This study therefore aimed to design, validate, and evaluate an English reading instructional model that incorporates Islamic themes and the ten Muwashafat. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE framework, the study involved English teachers and students at an Integrated Islamic Senior High School in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were gathered through collaborative classroom action research (CAR) combining questionnaires, observations, interviews, and pre/post tests. The model produced includes a conceptual framework, syllabus, lesson plans, and Islamic-themed reading texts structured through the IMPACT sequence (Initiate, Map, Perceive, Analyze, Construct, Think back). Expert evaluation confirmed its feasibility with average ratings of 3.53–3.67, while classroom implementation demonstrated effectiveness, as students’ reading scores increased from 6.8 (pre-test) to 7.8 (post-test), alongside positive improvements in engagement, classroom climate, and character development. The findings conclude that integrating Islamic content with character-based values strengthens English reading instruction in faith-based contexts, and future researchers are encouraged to adapt and expand the model across diverse educational settings.
