Developing a Digital Bilingual Storybook for Teaching English with The Insertion of Spirituality Value in Fifth Grade Students
type: item
description: This study aimed to develop a digital bilingual storybook integrating spirituality values for Grade 5 elementary school students and evaluate its quality as an instructional medium for English language learning. This study employed a Design and Development (D&D) model adapted from Huhta et al. (2013), consisting of two stages: design and development. The design stage involved conducting a needs analysis through document analysis and interviews, whereas the development stage included designing the storyline, writing the story script, developing the prototype, and conducting expert validation. The digital bilingual storybook developed in this study is titled Jojo and His Amazing Body. Spirituality values were integrated through the storyline, dialogues, illustrations, and pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities. The product was evaluated by two experts in English pedagogy. The quantitative evaluation results showed that the two experts assigned scores of 149 and 148 out of 150, respectively, and both scores fell into the “Excellent” category. Furthermore, the qualitative feedback indicated that the developed storybook was relevant, engaging, visually appealing, linguistically appropriate for the students’ characteristics, and supportive of English language learning and the reinforcement of spirituality values. Therefore, the developed digital bilingual storybook was considered highly appropriate as an instructional medium for Grade 5 elementary school students while simultaneously promoting spirituality values.

Students’ Perceptions of The Bumper Stickers Strategy in Enhancing Reading Comprehension
type: item
description: Reading comprehension is essential in English learning, yet many junior high school students struggle to understand descriptive texts because of limited vocabulary, difficulty identifying key ideas, and low engagement. This study investigated students’ perceptions of the Bumper Stickers Strategy as a visual–textual technique to support comprehension. Using a descriptive quantitative survey, data were collected from 40 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Kayuagung using an 18-item Likert-scale questionnaire covering perceived effectiveness, engagement, motivation, clarity, and ease of use. Instrument validity was confirmed using Pearson product-moment correlation, and reliability was high (α = 0.84). Descriptive statistical analysis showed a positive overall perception with a mean score of 3.78, indicating that the strategy was effective, clear, easy to use, and helpful in organizing information visually, although engagement and motivation received slightly lower ratings. The findings suggest that the Bumper Stickers Strategy is a beneficial instructional tool for enhancing reading comprehension, supporting cognitive processing, and promoting creative learning, with the potential for broader application in various educational contexts.

The Role of Audio Visual Media in Supporting English Pronounciation: A Qualitative Study
type: item
description: This study explores students' experiences and perceptions of using audio-visual media in supporting their pronounciation skills. A qualitative descriptive design is used to captures detailed and nuanced insights into participants’ experiences. Ten undergraduate students majoring in English Education were purposefully selected as participants to provide in-depth perspectives. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, which encouraged open discussions while addressing themes closely aligned with the research objectives.

Analysis of the Implementation of Merdeka Curriculum for English subjects at the Islamic Junior High School of Pancasila Bengkulu
type: item
description: This study analyzes the implementation of the Merdeka (Independent) Curriculum for English subjects at the Islamic Junior High School (MTs) of Pancasila, Bengkulu, with a focus on assessing its effectiveness and identifying the challenges faced by educators and students. The Merdeka Curriculum, introduced to foster student-centered learning, critical thinking, and creativity, requires significant adaptation in schools with limited resources, diverse student backgrounds, and minimal teacher training. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, to examine the curriculum’s impact on teaching practices, student engagement, and language proficiency outcomes. The findings reveal that while the Merdeka Curriculum holds potential for enhancing English learning, its implementation faces significant obstacles. Teachers report challenges in aligning instructional methods with the curriculum's objectives due to a lack of professional development and teaching resources. Additionally, students' varied English proficiency levels further complicate curriculum application, necessitating frequent adjustments to lesson plans and assessment techniques. This study concludes that successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English subjects requires increased training, clear guidelines, and better resource allocation to ensure that its goals are achieved effectively. The results contribute to ongoing discussions on curriculum reform in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for tailored support in resource-constrained educational settings.

Islamic English Instruction for Elementary School Students
type: item
description: This study examines the integration of Islamic values into English instruction for elementary school students in Indonesia, addressing the dual need for linguistic proficiency and moral education. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and material reviews. The findings show that embedding Islamic content, such as Quranic verses and moral stories, enhances student engagement, retention, and critical thinking while aligning language learning with students’ cultural and religious identities. Despite its benefits, this approach faces challenges, including limited instructional materials, teacher training gaps, and time constraints. Teachers often modified secular curricula to include Islamic themes, which, though effective, required significant effort and adaptation. The study underscores the importance of developing culturally responsive teaching materials and providing professional development for educators to support this approach. It highlights the potential of Islamic English instruction to merge linguistic and moral education, offering valuable insights into faith-based pedagogy. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on culturally responsive education and provide recommendations for policymakers, curriculum developers, and educators in Muslim-majority contexts.

The Role of Islamic Values in Enhancing The Effectiveness of English Language Teaching
type: item
description: This study investigates the integration of Islamic values into English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesian Islamic secondary schools, focusing on its impact on students’ academic performance, character development, and intercultural competencies. In Muslim-majority settings, the introduction of English can raise concerns over potential conflicts between Western values and Islamic principles. To address these concerns, a culturally responsive approach, incorporating Islamic values such as adab (ethical conduct), ihsan (excellence), ikhlas (sincerity), and ta'awun (cooperation), can harmonize global education demands with local religious and cultural beliefs. A qualitative research design, utilizing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, was employed to gather comprehensive data from English language teachers and classroom settings. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values into ELT not only enhances students' language proficiency but also promotes moral development and intercultural understanding. By using Islamic texts such as Qur’anic verses and Hadith in lessons, teachers create a learning environment that is both academically enriching and spiritually grounding. This approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of the English language but also prepares students to engage with the globalized world while maintaining their cultural and religious identity. The study contributes to the development of a values-based pedagogy in ELT, which can offer a balanced approach to academic and moral education in Muslim-majority contexts.

The Effect of an Integrated Islamic Curriculum in English Classes
type: item
description: The impact of incorporating Islamic beliefs into English language training on students' language skills, character development, and cultural awareness is examined in this study. A comprehensive educational experience is produced by the curriculum's integration of ethical and culturally relevant material, such as Islamic history and moral quandaries, into English classes. This method fosters intercultural competency while improving vocabulary acquisition, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning, as evidenced by thematic analysis of case studies and existing literature. However, issues like inadequate teacher preparation and a lack of standardized resources underscore the necessity of institutional assistance.

This research is a qualitative study that examines the historical development of ELT curricula, pedagogical shifts, teacher and student adaptations, contextual challenges, and future recommendations. The sample of this research includes education policymakers, ELT educators, and students across different regions of Indonesia. The data were gathered by using interviews, surveys, and document analysis, and were analysed by employing thematic analysis to identify key trends and insights. The findings showed that while recent curriculum reforms have made significant strides in introducing competency-based learning, critical thinking, and digital literacy, they have also highlighted systemic challenges such as resource inequalities, regional disparities, and varying levels of teacher readiness. In conclusion, the research suggests that future curriculum reforms should focus on addressing these challenges through equitable resource distribution, enhancing teacher professional development, and adapting the curriculum to better meet the socio-cultural and linguistic diversity of Indonesia.

Analysis of Pragmatic Elements in the Children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar
type: item
description: This study conducts a review to analyze the pragmatic elements in Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, focusing on how these elements contribute to the book's effectiveness as a tool for engaging young readers and enhancing language learning. The study addresses two main questions: (1) how pragmatic features such as speech acts, implicature, deixis, and conversational maxims are used in the book to convey meaning and facilitate interaction, and (2) the implications of these pragmatic elements for teaching English to children. This qualitative study employs content analysis to examine the book's text and illustrations through a pragmatic lens. The review identifies that The Very Hungry Caterpillar employs declarative and imperative speech acts to invite reader participation and enhance engagement. Implicature is used to convey implicit meanings related to the caterpillar’s growth and transformation, supported by contextual cues and illustrations. The study highlights that these pragmatic elements can influence educational strategies. Interactive reading sessions, activities focusing on deictic expressions, and exercises that encourage inference and adherence to conversational maxims are recommended as practical applications. These methods support early literacy development and promote meaningful language use, providing effective tools for educators to enhance language acquisition and communication skills in young learners. By integrating findings from existing research on pragmatics and children's literature, this study offers new insights into the role of pragmatic elements in early childhood education. The practical applications derived from the book’s use of language features underscore its value as an educational tool, contributing to improved teaching practices and language learning outcomes for young children.

The Implementation of Writing Strategies for Enhancing Students’ Writing Competence
type: item
description: Writing strategies are pivotal in enhancing students' writing competence, necessitating a comprehensive and cohesive approach to implement them in diverse instructional contexts. This study examines an all-encompassing framework integrating different writing strategies to improve students’ writing competence, potentially enhancing students' writing skills significantly. It also suggests culturally responsive pedagogical practices that address diverse students’ needs. By thoroughly investigating 16 of 250 previously published articles, the effectiveness of metacognitive strategy-based training can be identified while exploring technological integration, culturally responsive teaching, and self-assessment methodologies. The key findings indicate that metacognitive strategies positively impact students’ writing performance, and they also shed light on the impact of cultural context on writing strategies and their implementations in culturally responsive instructional strategies. Furthermore, self-assessment promotes increased autonomy and self-confidence in identifying students' writing abilities. The study's findings suggest that a comprehensive and cohesive approach, incorporating several methodologies, can more effectively meet students' varying needs and foster enduring enhancements in writing competence. From this perspective, a novel approach is proposed to improve writing instruction in various contexts by addressing limitations in preceding study findings and reexamining them in future studies.
