The Effect of Age on Second Language Acquisition (B2) in Children Aged 9-12 Years

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Childhood is considered the optimal period due to the brain's flexibility, which enhances the ability to learn new languages. This study specifically focuses on the age factor in second language learning and aims to prove the assumption that a child's critical age correlates with their language acquisition ability. This is a quantitative study with a descriptive approach, using data processing software, SPSS, and subsequently described verbally. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of 21 students from Ulya classes 1 and 2 at TPQ Darut Tarbiyah As-Sa'adah, comprising 17 female students and four male students. The results of the product-moment calculation showed that the calculated r-value was lower than the table r-value, specifically 0.433 < 0.829. This indicates no influence between the variables of age and language acquisition. Therefore, age does not affect a child's ability to acquire a second language among students in Ulya classes 1 and 2 at TPQ Darut Tarbiyah As-Sa’adah for the 2024/2025 academic year.

This research aims to analyze teachers' strategies in strengthening the values of religious moderation in PAI learning through the use of digital media, as well as to identify the challenges and their impacts on students' religious attitudes. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include observing teaching and learning activities, conducting in-depth interviews with fifth and sixth-grade teachers and students, and documenting teaching materials and digital learning media.

Dudun Ubaedullah, Rokimin, Fajar Suryono — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The integration of technology into Islamic education is crucial for meeting the evolving needs of students in the digital age, aiming to enhance both academic and moral development while preserving Islamic values. However, several challenges hinder this integration, including inadequate infrastructure, limited teacher training, and resistance to new teaching methods. This study explores these challenges and identifies opportunities for integrating technology into the curriculum of Islamic Elementary Schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) and Kindergartens (TK) in Indonesia. A systematic review following the PRISMA framework was conducted, analyzing nine articles out of 25,570. The study identified key barriers, such as limited access to digital devices and the internet, inadequate digital competency among teachers, and resistance to changes in traditional pedagogical methods. Despite these challenges, the study highlights opportunities to enhance student engagement and foster critical thinking through the use of interactive technologies, such as multimedia and AI. These technologies can bridge the gap between traditional Islamic values and modern educational practices. This study demonstrates the importance of continuous professional development for teachers, investment in digital infrastructure, and curriculum reform that integrates Islamic teachings with modern technology. A balanced approach is crucial to ensure the integrity of Islamic education while simultaneously harnessing the benefits of technological advancements. Future research should focus on developing strategies to address these challenges and maximize the potential of technology in Islamic teaching, ultimately improving student outcomes and engagement.

Synthesizing Tradition and Technology in Pesantren Curriculum: A Case Study at Pesantren Al-Falah Situbondo

Ahmad Musaddad — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Pesantren face increasing demands to preserve Islamic traditions while equipping santri with digital literacy and global competencies. This study examines how Pesantren Al-Falah Situbondo adapts its curriculum by integrating classical learning with technological and entrepreneurial innovation. Using a qualitative case study supported by descriptive survey data, the research identifies three dynamics: the persistence of memorization-based pedagogy, fragmented adoption of digital tools, and sporadic entrepreneurship initiatives. These findings reveal that curriculum reform in pesantren is not a replacement of tradition but a negotiated synthesis that connects heritage with contemporary skills. Theoretically, the study offers a framework for integrating Islamic values with global competency models, thereby bridging domains that are often treated as separate. Practically, it provides pesantren leaders and policymakers a blueprint for embedding digital literacy and entrepreneurship into lesson plans without undermining religious identity. This model can guide other pesantren in designing adaptive curricula and inform Islamic education policy aimed at preparing graduates who are both rooted in tradition and ready for global engagement.
