A Pedagogical Review of The Suitability of An Imla Textbook with Arabic Origins for Non-native Students: A Case Study at Al Irsyad Tengaran 7 Islamic Junior High School
This study investigates the suitability of the Mudzakkirah al-Imla textbook, designed for Arabic first language (L1) speakers, for Arab non-native speakers in Grades 7 and 8 at MTs Al Irsyad Tengaran 7, Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to collect data, which were analysed based on the textbook, classroom assessment observations, and interviews with both teachers and students. Among the findings, four issues are illuminated: readability / typography-related issues, linguistic demands beyond students’ proficiency level, contextual irrelevance of vocabulary, and the imbalance of student engagement. However, the teachers’ mediation was crucial in adjusting the materials with additional activities and dictations, which were contextualised to some extent and thus narrowed the distance between the textbook content and the learners’ needs. These findings highlight the need for A1 materials to be learner-oriented, culturally appropriate, and pedagogically responsive. With reference to the local context, this study adds to the debates regarding the teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers in various educational settings.

APPLICATION OF PARE METHOD IN ARABIC DAUROH PROGRAM AT EASY INSTITUTE “ENGLISH AND ARABIC COURSE”
Abstract: In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in public interest in learning Arabic, particularly in the Pare area of Kediri, known as the “Language Village.” One institution that has attracted attention is Easy “English and Arabic Course,” which offers an intensive and communicative approach to learning Arabic through the adaptation of the Pare Method. This study aims to analyze how the method is applied in the context of the course and its impact on the social transformation of participants. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the integration of the Pare Method into the Dauroh program creates a learning environment that supports rapid and natural language acquisition, as well as fostering significant changes in participants' attitudes, habits, and social interaction patterns. These findings suggest that language learning is not only cognitive but also has a strong social dimension. This study contributes theoretically to sociolinguistic research and practically to the development of community-based Arabic language curricula.

AI-Driven Tools and Their Impacts on EFL/ESL Speaking Skills: A Systematic Review in Asia Regional Context
Abstract: This study systematically examines how AI-driven tools influence EFL/ESL learners’ speaking skills across educational contexts in the Asia region. A comprehensive literature search (2020–2025) across Scopus, ERIC, IEEE Xplore, DOAJ, and JSTOR, guided by PRISMA protocols, yielded twenty empirical studies focused on AI-enhanced speaking instruction across the Asia region. Research spans elementary to tertiary levels, with concentrations in East and Southeast Asia (e.g., Taiwan, China, Malaysia), employing task-oriented chatbots, voice-based conversational agents, and generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, CoolE Bot). Quantitative results consistently show significant improvements in fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, and pronunciation when learners engage with AI tools versus traditional methods. Qualitative data reveal reduced speaking anxiety, increased willingness to communicate, and heightened self-efficacy and enjoyment. One study noted enhanced confidence without immediate performance gains using embodied GenAI chatbots, suggesting affective benefits may precede measurable skill improvements. Overall, AI offers scalable, personalized feedback that lowers affective barriers and fosters deliberate practice, though future research should investigate long-term outcomes, optimal integration strategies, and underrepresented regions (e.g., South and West Asia). Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, EFL/ESL Speaking Skills, Chatbots, Systematic Literature review, Asia Region

ASSOCIATIVE MEANINGS IN THE SCOUSE DIALECT OF ENGLISH IN TV SERIES “THE RESPONDER” SEASON 1 EPISODE 1
Abstract: This study analyzes the associative meanings of words of the Scouse dialect, a regional variety of English spoken in Liverpool, which is represented in the British TV series The Responder Episode 1 (2022), using Geoffrey Leech’s (1981) theory of associative meaning. It addresses two main research questions: first, what types of associative meaning are found in the Scouse dialect within The Responder Episode 1, and second, how those identified associative meanings influence the interpretation and usage of Scouse dialect words in the series. Using a descriptive qualitative design, 34 dialogues in which the characters used distinctive vocabularies or lexical items of the Scouse dialect were analyzed and categorized into five categories of meaning: connotative meaning (38%), affective meaning (38%), stylistic meaning (15%), collocative meaning (6%), and reflective meaning (3%). In this case, the connotative and affective meanings dominated, reflecting the dialect's role in expressing regional identity and emotional expression. This study explains the importance of preserving a region's distinctive dialect as a cultural asset to deal with language homogenization. In addition, this research also connects the gap between dialectology and media studies, highlights the importance of popular culture in preserving regional dialects, and supports further linguistic exploration of media representations and dialects. Keywords: Associative meanings, Scouse dialect, the Responder, Cultural identity, Film representation
BRIDGING TRADITION AND INNOVATION: STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME ARABIC LANGUAGE SKILLS STAGNATION AMONG FINAL-YEAR STUDENTS
Abstract: The phenomenon of stagnation in Arabic language skills among final-year students remains a critical issue that affects the quality of graduates. This is particularly evident in Arabic Language Education programs that regard mastery of Arabic as a core academic competency. This study aims to analyze the various factors causing stagnation in Arabic language skills among final-year students and to formulate learning development strategies that bridge traditional scholarly values with the demands of modern educational innovation. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation of learning materials and students’ evaluation records. The data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that internal factors (such as low learning motivation, lack of self-confidence, and ineffective learning habits) as well as external factors (such as monotonous teaching methods, limited supporting media, and minimal opportunities for language practice) all contribute to the stagnation of students' Arabic language skills. Based on these findings, the recommended learning strategies include the implementation of communicative approaches, the optimal use of digital technology in learning processes, and the reinforcement of traditional Arabic scholarly values through contextual, interactive, and sustainable methods. This study is expected to provide practical contributions for lecturers, program managers, and curriculum developers in designing Arabic language learning models that are adaptive, innovative, and responsive to the challenges of the times. Keywords: Arabic Language Skills, Stagnation, Innovation Strategy, Scholarly Tradition.

Determining Authorship for Generative AI Photography using Social Constructionism Theory
Abstract: The rise of generative AI in photography has disrupted conventional notions of authorship, challenging legal, aesthetic, and cultural frameworks that historically centered on human creators. This study proposes a theoretical model based on social constructionism to investigate how authorship in AI-generated photography is shaped through institutional discourse, curatorial practice, technological mediation, and social perception. Rather than treating authorship as a fixed legal status or a property of the creator, the model frames it as a socially negotiated construct that emerges within dynamic networks of meaning-making. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources from computational creativity, visual culture, and art sociology, the paper outlines key mechanisms through which AI-generated images gain artistic legitimacy and are attributed authorship. This approach offers an alternative to ontological(i.e., concerning the nature of being or existence) or techno-deterministic(i.e., assuming technology drives social change independently) views by emphasizing the relational and discursive processes involved in the authorship of computational images. The framework provides a foundation for evaluating agency, value, and credit in post-photographic practices shaped by artificial intelligence. Keywords: AI-generated photography, authorship framework, computational creativity, social constructionism, visual media

The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The media was developed by integrating evaluative questions into Arabic learning videos covering listening (istima'), reading (qira'ah), and vocabulary comprehension skills. The test subjects were 2nd semester students at the Arabic Language Education study programme of IAI Badrus Sholeh Kediri. The data collection techniques in this study are observation, interview, documentation and test. The results of expert validation show that this media is very feasible in terms of content, design and interactivity. The field trial showed that the use of Edpuzzle was able to increase students' involvement in the evaluation process and provide immediate feedback that strengthened concept understanding. In addition, students showed high enthusiasm for the visual and contextualised evaluation model. The conclusion of this study is that interactive video using Edpuzzle can be an alternative formative evaluation that is innovative and in accordance with the characteristics of today's digital generation in learning Arabic for students of university. Keywords: Development, Edpuzzle, Interactive Vidio, Evaluation
Exploring Religious and Cultural Identity through the Linguistic Landscape of Pesantren in Situbondo
Abstract: This study is motivated by the lack of research on the linguistic landscape within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Situbondo, East Java. As a field of language study that explores language use in public spaces, the linguistic landscape plays a crucial role in uncovering social, cultural, and religious phenomena represented visually. In the context of pesantren, the linguistic landscape functions not only as a tool for communication but also as a medium for expressing Islamic values and local cultural wisdom. This research aims to classify the forms of language varieties and examine how religious and cultural values are represented through public signs, such as name boards, announcements, posters, directional signs, banners, billboards, and religious or motivational quotes, within the pesantren environment. A qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation and documentation conducted in five selected pesantren in Situbondo. The data were analyzed in three stages: reduction, display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The analysis focused on the patterns of language used and the representation of religious and local cultural values. The findings are expected to advance linguistic studies, particularly in religious and cultural contexts. Keywords: cultural identity, linguistic landscape, pesantren in Situbondo, religious identity
EXPLORING THE IDENTITY OF INDONESIAN K-DRAMA FANS THROUGH LANGUAGE USE AND SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES ON X (TWITTER)
Abstract: Korean Wave has become a significant phenomenon in Indonesia, particularly through K-Dramas that attract young audiences and lead to the formation of fandoms. This study was conducted to examine how members of these fandoms express their identity and make their presence visible in Indonesian society. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores language use and social media features as tools of identity expression. The findings indicate that Indonesian K-Drama fans employ slang and code-mixing in their interactions on X, and highlight their identity through bios and hashtags by mentioning Korean actors, drama titles, and fandom names. Another finding is the use of three languages, which are Indonesian, Korean, and English, with English serving an important role for building connections, seeking support, and sharing drama reviews. These results contribute to the understanding of language use and identity construction within online fandom communities. Keywords: Code-mixing, Indonesian K-Drama fans, Language and Identity, Slang words, Social media
GENDER REPRESENTATION IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEXTBOOKS: MULTIMODAL DESCOURSE ANALYSIS
Abstract One of nowadays concern in junior high school English material such as textbooks is lack of fair and inclusive gender representation, which can influence students' point of view of gender roles from an early stage. UNESCO (2020) emphasised that the representation of women in school textbooks in several countries is still limited, and when the characters are represented, it is often limited to domestic jobs, thus strengthening gender bias in formal education material. Textbooks, as one of multimodal educational tools, build meanings not only through written language but also through visual image that show characters’ identities, activates, and roles. This research examines how gendered identities are represented in the English for Nusantara textbooks used for seventh grade students based on Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum. These textbooks were chosen since the book have wide circulation in junior high schools and its intensive use of character-based dialogue accompanied by images, offering a valuable source of data for analysis. Using the Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2006) framework, the research examining how male and female characters are visually portrayed in the textbook. Based on the analysis of comic strips in the English for Nusantara textbook for seventh grade students, the number of male and female character show diverse according to activity. Conversing is the most frequent, with males that have more representation than females, while studying shows equal participation. Other activities are more specific in gender such as; men are dominant in hobbies and cooking, while women are dominant in teaching. Passive participation occurs in both genders, with men slightly more dominant. Keywords: Multimodal discourse, gender representation, English textbook, educational instrument.

IDENTITY NEGOTIATION THROUGH THE SYMBOLS AND ALLEGORY IN DAVID SHANNON’S A BAD CASE OF STRIPES (1998)
Abstract: This study explores the symbols in A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon as representations of identity negotiation and self-acceptance. This research utilizes Ferdinand de Saussure’s (1988) semiotics and Stuart Hall’s (1990) theory of identity negotiation as the theoretical frameworks. This research examines how Camilla’s constantly changing stripes on her skin represent metaphors for societal pressures and struggles to maintain one’s authentic self. By analyzing these transformations, the study highlights the complex dynamics between external expectations and personal identity. The findings reveal how these transformations reflect the tension between societal expectations and self-acceptance, which is a process of identity negotiation. It also highlights the consequences of suppressing one’s true identity to meet societal norms. This research illustrates how picture books use symbolism to navigate complex issues of identity within the context of children’s literature. Keywords: identity negotiation, symbolism, semiotics, allegory, children’s literature
INNOVATING TASK-BASED MANDARIN LEARNING FOR BUDDHIST STUDIES STUDENTS AT NALANDA INSTITUTE
Abstract: As Mandarin grows in global importance, this study examines task-based online instruction in Mandarin II, the follow-up course to basic Mandarin I, for Buddhist Studies students at Nalanda Institute. The research explores how distance education can effectively develop Mandarin writing and speaking skills through structured tasks. It specifically examines the role of technology in supporting independent language acquisition. The learning objectives focus on writing and speaking practice, with tasks progressing from copying Chinese characters to constructing sentences and paragraphs, as well as recording spoken phrases and sentences. Ten students participated in this study. Their learning experience was structured using David Merrill’s instructional design principles, which shaped an outcome-based curriculum. Data collection included course design documents, learning process journals, student task assessments, and self-evaluations of progress. Key findings reveal that online Mandarin learning requires additional support mechanisms when teachers are not physically present, emphasizing the importance of integrating technology such as recorded audio, modules, and Quizlet to facilitate independent practice. Students faced challenges, particularly with Mandarin tones in speaking exercises, yet remained motivated to persist. Encouragement and constructive feedback were crucial in sustaining their engagement, despite the acknowledged difficulty of learning Mandarin in a distance learning environment. The study highlights the necessity of structured technological and motivational support to enhance task-based language learning outcomes in online settings. Keywords: Mandarin instruction, online learning, task-based learning

LITERATURE AS CULTURAL PEDAGOGY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON THE ROLE OF INDIGENOUS VALUES IN MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
Abstract: In an era of globalization that tends to promote cultural homogenization, local wisdom values are threatened with displacement from formal education. Literary works have the potential to serve as an effective pedagogical medium for preserving and transforming local values in the context of multicultural education. However, this strategic role has not been systematically researched and this problem arises because of the disappearance of thousands of cultural expressions and local knowledge that have passed down from generation to generation.. This review aims to analyze the role of literary works in preserving local wisdom values, understand the patterns of adaptation of local values in literature for multicultural education, and identify the main challenges in the process of integrating them into the curriculum. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA protocol. Data were collected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases using a combination of relevant keywords. Articles were selected based on inclusion-exclusion criteria and assessed for quality using MMAT. A total of 21 articles were analyzed thematically with the help of NVivo 14. The research tasks were divided collaboratively among a team of four researchers. It was found that literature plays 10 key roles in multicultural education, particularly as an educational medium, a vehicle for transmitting cultural values, and a tool for strengthening identity. The dominant adaptation pattern is the reinterpretation of folk tales and the integration of local narratives into digital media. The main challenges include a lack of local teaching materials, a uniform national curriculum, and limited teacher competence. The proposed solutions include community involvement, teacher training, and curriculum flexibility. Keywords: local literature, multicultural education, local wisdom, value adaptation, systematic review.

OPTIMIZATION OF CORPUS LINGUISTICS IN THE PREPARATION OF ARABIC IDIOM DICTIONARY
Abstract: Arabic, as one of the world’s international languages, is rich in vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, which often pose challenges for foreign learners in grasping accurate meanings. Observations and interviews with students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at the State University of Malang revealed a key issue in maharah kalam and kitabah courses: the lack of learning resources that systematically present idioms with contextual meanings and authentic usage. Existing dictionaries remain largely conventional, focusing solely on lexical translation, thereby creating a gap between vocabulary mastery and the ability to apply idiomatic expressions in a communicative context. To address this, the present study develops an Arabic–Indonesian idiom dictionary by integrating corpus linguistics as the primary approach in identifying, analysing, and systematically presenting idioms. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, authentic corpus data were processed using Sketch Engine, which features include Wordlist, N-grams, Concordance, and Word Sketch. This analysis revealed the frequency of occurrence, structural variations, and both literal and idiomatic meanings. The study successfully identified 2,100 Arabic idioms considered relevant for learning purposes. This research not only provides a systematic framework for dictionary compilation but also produces an interactive digital product that is practical and learner-oriented. The novelty lies in combining corpus linguistics with digital lexicography, offering significant contributions to Arabic lexicographic studies while advancing technology-based, digital Arabic learning practices responsive to the demands of the digital era. Keywords: Corpus linguistics, Arabic idiom dictionary, State University of Malang

Strengthening Cultural Heritage in the Digital Disruption Era: Developing a Digital Catalog for Desa Labuhan Kertasari as a Participatory Community Model
Abstract: The low historical awareness of Taliwang Junior High School students (average score 31–45) and the decline in younger generation participation in cultural festivals are two indicators that the digital disruption era poses a threat to the sustainability of local cultural heritage in Labuan Kertasari Village, West Sumbawa Regency. As a creative solution, this study created a digital cultural heritage library based on the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) methodology. Although field tests demonstrated a notable increase in students' historical awareness by 15-20% through the ability to link local traditions (e.g., Mbelu'pandang, Suro'mbasa) with the national historical context, expert validation demonstrated the product's viability with scores of 85% for historical content aspects and 80% for media design. In addition to accommodating the learning preferences of the digital native generation, the digital catalog that incorporates interactive maps, 360° video documentation, and multilingual narration boosts students' interest in cultural preservation by 70%. The use of CRT in this catalog turns the fear of digital disruption into educational support while reaffirming Labuan Kertasari's distinctive status as a "living heritage" of the Makassar Sultanate (1626). 75% of instructors said it was simple to incorporate the catalog into their own curriculum, which supports the school-community collaboration approach for technology-based cultural preservation. With the use of a text-based light version, technical issues including 15% of students' poor smartphone access were resolved, making this solution repeatable for comparable communities in Indonesia.

THE SEMANTICS OF 'RIZZ' AND 'CAP': HOW GEN ALPHA'S SLANG CONTRIBUTES TO LEXICAL INNOVATION AND SEMANTIC AMBIGUITY
Abstract: This research explores the semantic dynamics of the slang terms “rizz” and “cap” as used by Generation Alpha in digital discourse. Drawing on authentic language from platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube, this research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to examine how these terms reflect lexical innovation and semantic ambiguity. The analysis of rizz and cap in Gen Alpha digital discourse demonstrates that both terms operate as highly productive and contextually fluid slang items, marked by semantic innovation and pragmatic versatility. Rizz primarily denotes romantic or flirtatious charisma, but its semantic range extends to general social impressiveness, ironic critique, verbalized forms, and hyperbolic/metaphorical uses. Conversely, cap retains a core association with falsehood or denial, yet expands into truth-affirming (no cap), authenticity signaling, and playful reinterpretations. Three key findings emerge from this research. First, both terms exhibit polysemy, with meanings that diversify across interactional contexts and media platforms. Second, the data reveal metaphorical and metonymic processes at work: rizz conceptualizes charisma as a resource or power, while cap functions metonymically as a shorthand for dishonesty or its negation. Third, both terms operate as identity markers, reinforcing in-group belonging and sociolectal distinctiveness within Gen Alpha’s digital communities. Keywords: Slang, Lexical Innovation, Semantic Ambiguity, Digital Discourse

Toward Ethical AI Integration in Indonesian Design Education: Lessons from Global Practices
Abstract: The rapid advancement of Generative AI is reshaping higher education and presents both opportunities and risks for design education, which depends on creativity, originality, and practice-based learning. This study maps and analyses institutional policies and ethical guidelines on AI use in design programmes at leading universities to answer: (1) How are AI policies applied in design education? (2) What institutional typologies—permissive, conditional, restrictive—exist? and (3) How can global practices inform Indonesian policy? Using mixed-methods document analysis guided by a 5W1H framework and a policy-typology classification, we combined systematic text chunking with an iterative, human-in-the-loop ChatGPT workflow for seed-code generation, batch coding, and preliminary synthesis; all model outputs were archived and human-validated (see Appendix A). Preliminary synthesis of campus summaries identifies four recurrent themes—ethics/academic integrity, implementation controls (approved tools, vendor security, data restrictions), pedagogy (AI literacy, assessment redesign, studio guidance), and governance (disclosure, sanctions). Institutions fall along a continuum: design/art schools tend toward permissive, experimentation-friendly approaches with faculty discretion and disclosure requirements, while research-intensive institutions favor restrictive, legal/contractual safeguards for research and publication. For Indonesia, we recommend a three-tier policy architecture: (i) permissive studio experimentation with mandatory process documentation; (ii) conditional rules and standardized disclosure for assessed work; and (iii) restrictive controls for research/publication and high-risk data—supported by institutional tool provisioning, equity measures, and staff training. Limitations: document-based analysis and the non-deterministic nature of LLM assistance; human review underpins reported findings. Keywords: AI in education; ethical policy; design education; policy analysis; Generative AI.

Abstract: This research analyzes an Egyptian McDonald's advertisement released after a call to boycott products allegedly pro-Israel, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Using Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis approach, this research aims to uncover the verbal and visual structure of the advertisement, as well as the social values and ideologies embedded within the message. Data was analyzed in the form of advertising videos from McDonald's Egypt's official YouTube channel, verbal texts, and the sociopolitical context through three dimensions: textual analysis, discursive practices, and social practices. The findings demonstrate that the advertisement incorporates narratives of nationalism and local solidarity as a strategy for reshaping McDonald's image under boycott pressure. This research emphasizes the importance of reading advertisements as ideological constructions in the contemporary sociopolitical sphere. Keywords: Local Ideology; Critical Discourse Analysis; Egypt's Advertisement ملخص: يُحلل هذا البحث إعلانًا لماكدونالدز مصري صدر بعد دعوة لمقاطعة المنتجات التي يُزعم أنها مؤيدة لإسرائيل، في سياق الصراع الإسرائيلي الفلسطيني. باستخدام نهج تحليل الخطاب النقدي لنورمان فيركلو، يهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن البنية اللفظية والبصرية للإعلان، بالإضافة إلى القيم الاجتماعية والأيديولوجيات المضمنة في الرسالة. تم تحليل البيانات على شكل مقاطع فيديو إعلانية من قناة يوتيوب الرسمية لماكدونالدز مصر، والنصوص اللفظية، والسياق الاجتماعي والسياسي من خلال ثلاثة أبعاد: التحليل النصي، والممارسات الخطابية، والممارسات الاجتماعية. تُظهر النتائج أن الإعلان يتضمن سرديات القومية والتضامن المحلي كاستراتيجية لإعادة تشكيل صورة ماكدونالدز في ظل ضغط المقاطعة. يؤكد هذا البحث على أهمية قراءة الإعلانات باعتبارها بناءات أيديولوجية في المجال الاجتماعي والسياسي المعاصر. الكلمات المفتاحية : إعلان ماكدونالد، المقاطعة، الخطاب النقدي، فيركلوف، الأيديولوجيا، الصراع الإسرائيلي، الفلسطين

A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE READABILITY OF INDONESIAN LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS FOR FIRST GRADERS: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF VOCABULARY DISTRIBUTION AND COMPLEXITY
Abstract: This study aims to analyse the vocabulary distribution and readability of the ten Buku Sekolah Elektronik (BSE) Bahasa Indonesia for first-grade students. The research objectives are to assess the alignment of the textbooks with the cognitive and linguistic development of early learners, focusing on the total number of tokens (words), types (unique words), Type-Token Ratio (TTR), and word complexity. The problem addressed in this study is the potential misalignment between the complexity of language and the words frequency in BSE textbooks and the reading abilities of first-grade students, which may hinder effective literacy development. The study reveals that the total tokens across the textbooks range from 783 (Book 2) to 1562 (Book 7), while the total types vary from 2856 (Book 2) to 9525 (Book 1). The percentage of complex tokens fluctuates between 0.31 (Book 2) and 0.51 (Book 7), and the percentage of complex types ranges from 0.46 (Book 5) to 0.54 (Book 6). The TTR values demonstrate significant variation, from 3.65 (Book 2) to 7.48 (Book 10), indicating the diversity in vocabulary used. Findings suggest that although some textbooks offer a rich variety of vocabulary, they may contain a high proportion of complex words, potentially making them unsuitable for first graders. For instance, Book 10 exhibits the highest TTR but includes more complex words, which might challenge early learners. In contrast, Book 2, with a lower TTR, contains simpler words, making it more suitable for young learners. The study underscores the importance of minimizing vocabulary complexity to facilitate effective literacy development for early readers such as first grade elementary students. Future research should investigate the use of multimedia-based textbooks and interactive learning methods to enhance the literacy experiences of early learners. Keywords: Readability test, text complexity, gunning-fox index

Penelitian ini mengkaji adaptasi sekolah berbasis pesantren Indonesia dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab sebagai respons terhadap implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka. Menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi interpretatif, penelitian ini melibatkan 14 guru bahasa Arab dari 7 sekolah berbasis pesantren melalui Focus Group Discussion. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman guru terhadap Kurikulum Merdeka berada pada level beragam, dengan 66,7% menyatakan memiliki pemahaman yang cukup baik tentang filosofi kurikulum, namun 33,3% masih mengalami kesulitan dalam implementasi praktis. Implementasi menghadapi tantangan kompleks dalam lima dimensi: struktural, pedagogis, teknis, kulturel, dan sumber daya. Tantangan utama meliputi integrasi jadwal fleksibel dengan rutinitas pesantren, perubahan paradigma dari teacher-centered ke student-centered learning, dan keterbatasan teknologi. Meskipun demikian, guru menunjukkan kreativitas luar biasa dengan mengembangkan lima model adaptasi: hibridisasi metodologi, kontekstualisasi konten, inovasi asesmen, digitalisasi terbatas, dan kolaborasi komunitas belajar. Penelitian menghasilkan "Model Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Pesantren-Merdeka" (PBPM) yang mensintetiskan metodologi tradisional pesantren dengan prinsip pedagogis modern. Model ini terdiri dari lima fase terintegrasi: orientasi spiritual, eksplorasi kolaboratif, konstruksi pemahaman, aplikasi kontekstual, dan refleksi holistik. Dampak positif implementasi terlihat pada peningkatan motivasi belajar santri (46%), partisipasi diskusi (70%), dan kemampuan berpikir kritis (48%). Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam pengembangan model pendidikan yang mengintegrasikan kebijakan nasional dengan kearifan lokal dalam konteks pendidikan bahasa Arab di lingkungan pesantren.

KEKERABATAN BAHASA JAWA DAN BAHASA SUNDA: KAJIAN LINGUISTIK HISTORIS KOMPARATIF
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan kekerabatan historis antara dua bahasa daerah besar yang banyak digunakan di Indonesia, yaitu Bahasa Jawa dan Bahasa Sunda, dengan menggunakan pendekatan linguistik historis komparatif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi analisis leksikal kuantitatif terhadap kosakata dasar serta pemetaan pohon kekerabatan berdasarkan persentase kemiripan leksikal. Pendekatan ini dipilih karena mampu menampilkan gambaran objektif mengenai tingkat kesamaan antarbahasa melalui perhitungan statistik dan klasifikasi sistematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Bahasa Jawa dan Bahasa Sunda memiliki tingkat kekerabatan sebesar 42%. Persentase ini cukup tinggi untuk mengindikasikan adanya hubungan dekat, meskipun tidak mencerminkan kesamaan mutlak. Temuan tersebut sekaligus mendukung hipotesis bahwa kedua bahasa berada dalam satu subkelompok yang relatif berdekatan di bawah rumpun Austronesia jika dibandingkan dengan bahasa daerah lain. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting terhadap pemetaan linguistik daerah di Indonesia. Selain itu, hasilnya juga mendukung upaya pelestarian bahasa-bahasa lokal yang kian terdesak oleh dominasi bahasa nasional maupun global, serta dapat menjadi rujukan dalam pengembangan kajian linguistik, kurikulum pendidikan bahasa, dan kebijakan kebudayaan nasional.

REPRESENTASI PEJABAT KORUP DALAM CERPEN “LELUCON PARA KORUPTOR” KARYA AGUS NOOR (KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA PEIRCE)
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap representasi pejabat korup dalam cerpen “Lelucon Para Koruptor” karya Agus Noor dengan menggunakan teori semiotika sastra yang dikemukakan Peirce. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan pemaparan hasil secara deskriptif.

Opportunities and Challenges in Developing HOTS-based Practice Questions in Arabic Language Learning at SMA 1 Muhammadiyah Ponorogo
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges of developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based questions in Arabic language learning at SMA 1 Muhammadiyah Ponorogo. The background of this study is the importance of critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills in the 21st century and the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes competency-based learning. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis is conducted thematically using the Miles & Huberman model. The results indicate that the implementation of HOTS-based exercises holds significant potential for enhancing students' higher-order thinking skills. Through these exercises, students are encouraged to be more active, independent, and able to connect knowledge with real-life contexts. Arabic language learning in this school has also indicated HOTS practices, such as through discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and analytical assignments. This has a positive impact on increasing student engagement and understanding. However, this study also identified various challenges, such as students' limited understanding due to their familiarity with memorization-based questions, the lack of HOTS questions in textbooks, low student interest in grammar and long texts, and limited learning time. To overcome these challenges, strategic steps are needed, such as developing a bank of HOTS questions, intensive training for teachers, utilizing learning technology, and compiling contextual questions that are relevant to students' daily lives. With collaborative support between teachers, schools, and stakeholders, the development of HOTS-based questions has the potential to improve the quality of Arabic language learning and optimize the achievement of the Merdeka Curriculum objectives. Keywords: Arabic language learning, HOTS, opportunities and challenges

Habituation of Likurai Cultural Values as an Instrument for Student Character Education in Schools on the Indonesia–Timor Leste Border
ABSTRACT: This study aims to describe how local cultural values, particularly the Likurai dance, are internalized as part of student character education in schools on the Indonesia-Timor Leste border. Likurai culture, as one of the cultural heritages of border communities, contains various character values such as peace, togetherness, discipline, responsibility, and love of the homeland. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Atambua, using a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, literature studies, and documentation studies without direct observation. Informants in this study consisted of teachers, principals, students, and traditional leaders. The results show that Likurai culture is understood by the school community not only as traditional art, but also as a means of instilling contextual and meaningful character values. The habituation process is carried out through extracurricular activities, ceremonies, and the integration of cultural values into learning, especially social studies learning. Obstacles faced include limited resources and a lack of attention to local culture in formal school policies, while support comes from the local community and traditional institutions that have developed around the school environment. This study concludes that local culture such as Likurai has great potential to become an instrument of character education, especially the character of nationalism and conflict resolution that is relevant and contextual to the context of the Indonesian-Timor Leste border region. Keywords: Likurai culture, character education, border schools.

Digital Mapping of Madura Gastronomy: Integrating Local Wisdom and Cultural Diversity in the Global Era
ABSTRACT: Madura's gastronomy not only serves the purpose of fulfilling consumption needs but also acts as a cultural artifact that represents local values such as simplicity, diligence, spirituality, and the ecological wisdom of coastal and agrarian communities. Special dishes such as bebek songkem, lorjuk, kaldu kokot, and tajin sobih not only store unique flavors but also contain narratives of identity and collective memory passed down through generations. However, globalization and cultural homogenization threaten the sustainability of traditional cuisine, especially amidst the lack of contextual and widely accessible digital documentation and representation. This research explores the potential of digital mapping as a strategic approach in documenting, visualizing, and promoting the richness of Madura's gastronomy within the global cultural landscape. Through participatory methods, researchers explore community-based culinary narratives and combine them with geospatial technology, visual storytelling, and cultural metadata integration. The results of the digital mapping not only serve as a medium for preserving traditional knowledge but also strengthen the position of Madura's gastronomy as a representation of Indonesia's cultural diversity in the eyes of the world. This study emphasizes that digital mapping of gastronomy based on local wisdom is an innovative strategy to strengthen cultural identity, expand the reach of value-based tourism promotion, and address the challenges of modernization without losing traditional roots. In this way, Madura can emerge as a center of taste and cultural narrative that is relevant in the global conversation about culinary heritage and cultural sustainability. Keywords: Madura gastronomy, digital mapping, local wisdom, cultural diversity, globalization, culinary heritage Keywords: Madurese Gastronomy; Digital Mapping; ABCD; GIS; intercultural communication

Academic Writing for Sustainability: Content Analysis of Indonesian Language Curriculum in Senior High School
Abstract: Ecological literacy is a key competency in 21st-century education, essential for addressing the global environmental crisis. However, the integration of sustainability values into the Indonesian language learning curriculum at the high school level has been rarely studied in depth, especially in the context of academic writing. This study aims to explore the extent to which ecological literacy principles are integrated into the Indonesian language curriculum documents and teaching modules at the high school level, and to identify the dominant or neglected dimensions of ecoliteracy in academic writing learning. Using Krippendorff's (2013) content analysis approach, 30 documents were systematically analyzed, covering Learning Outcomes (CP), regular teaching modules, and project modules (P5). The results showed that 60% of the documents demonstrated high integration, with an emphasis on real action, campaigns, and reflection; 23% showed moderate integration, characterized by ecological themes but minimal action; and 17% fell into the low category, focusing on technical aspects of writing without incorporating sustainability content. The dimensions of ecological knowledge and sustainability values were the most dominant, while systemic thinking and ecological action were still underexplored. This confirms that academic writing has not been fully utilized as a means of critical reflection and ecological advocacy, resulting in a gap between curriculum rhetoric and pedagogical practice. This finding indicates the importance of reorienting writing pedagogy towards transformation by emphasizing action-based assignments, value reflection, and socio-ecological participation. This study contributes to the development of curriculum design, teaching modules, and teacher training to support integrative and cross-disciplinary sustainability education. Keywords: eco-literacy; independent curriculum; sustainability literacy; academic writing; language education

LANGUAGE, MOVEMENT, AND CULTURAL IDENTITY IN DOLANAN PERFORMANCES: TRACING NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN BALINESE TRADITIONS AT THE BALI ARTS FESTIVAL
Abstract: Children's performances at the Utsawa Gong Kebyar Children during the 2025 Bali Arts Festival are more than just playful spectacles, but they pulse with language, movement, and cultural memory. This study explores how children from Northern and Southern Bali express their regional identities through dialects, gestures, and choreographed dolanan performances. Rather than positioning children as passive entertainers, this research considers them as active cultural agents who carry, reshape, and negotiate meaning through embodied traditions. Drawing on ethnolinguistic identity theory and a performative analysis framework, the study is grounded in field observations and comparative interpretation of linguistic and movement-based expressions. Findings suggest that regional identity is not only spoken or danced, but deeply rooted in shared values and communal memory, embodied through children's performances. The Utsawa Gong Kebyar Anak thus becomes a living space where local language is preserved, cultural roles are rehearsed, and identity is playfully reimagined. This paper contributes to wider discussions on arts-based education, child-centered cultural policy, and the performative dimensions of cultural sustainability. Keywords: play performances, ethnolinguistic identity, Northern and Southern Bali cultural transmission, children's embodiment,
