A Literature Review of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing English Language Skills

Febri Yonanda Yovi, Absharini Kardena, Arifmiboy — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study reviews recent literature on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, with a particular focus on its application in enhancing English language skills. Four articles published in 2025 were analyzed to examine AI’s contribution across systemic, institutional, and learner levels. The findings show that AI supports adaptive learning, inclusivity, and sustainability, although much research remains descriptive and does not sufficiently address ethical and pedagogical issues. Broader frameworks such as Education 5.0 stress the importance of human–AI collaboration and lifelong learning, while also noting risks such as inequality and skill loss. At the institutional level, teacher educators acknowledge AI’s potential for innovation but highlight the need for professional development and ethical guidelines. From the learner perspective, trust and enjoyment are stronger predictors of AI adoption than ease of use, suggesting that engagement is critical for success. In English language learning, these insights indicate that AI tools such as chatbots and generative applications can effectively support skill development when integrated within ethical and learner-centered practices.

Hayati Syahril, Bermawy Munthe, Hurriyatus Sa'adiyah — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Arabic has been taught in many countries for diverse purposes, depending on national needs, curricula, and educational policies, including understanding the Qur’an and Sunnah, facilitating communication in tourism and journalism, and supporting economic activities. As a fundamental element of culture, language is interconnected with other cultural components and external systems, making the integration of Arabic teaching with broader scientific and social phenomena both relevant and necessary. The United Nations, through UNESCO, has emphasized global crises and cultural challenges as key issues in the sustainable development agenda, considering education the foundation of sustainability and promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), although Arabic teaching has not been fully aligned with this framework. This study explores trends in Arabic language teaching that respond to global challenges and contribute to sustainable development through desk research with a qualitative approach, using the Qur’an and Arabic textbooks in Indonesian Islamic schools, along with al-‘Arabiyyah Baina Yadaik and al-Lisān series, as primary sources, and books, sustainable development documents, and scholarly journals as secondary sources. Data were analyzed through substantive analysis, and the findings indicate promising trends in integrating Arabic language teaching with sustainable development principles through problem-based learning (PBL) and content-based instruction (CBI), further examined through the perspective of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān to propose a holistic and integrative paradigm for teaching Arabic in alignment with global sustainability goals.

Hamzah Irfanda — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of applying neuroscience in Islamic education to strengthen students' faith through worship practices at SMAN 2 Kota Pariaman. In the era of globalization and the 4.0 industrial revolution, Islamic education is required to combine contemporary scientific advances with original Islamic values. Neuroscience, as a discipline that studies the structure and function of the brain, presents a new perspective in understanding the learning process, character building, and human spiritual development. This study uses qualitative methods through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews. The findings show that the integration of neuroscience with Islamic education contributes significantly to strengthening students' faith and shaping their religious character. There was an increase in enthusiasm for spiritual activities, a deeper understanding of tawhid, and positive behavioral changes in daily life. Worship activities such as prayer, dhikr, and recitation of the Qur'an were proven to activate parts of the brain related to executive control, emotional regulation, and long-term memory. Through the concept of neuroplasticity, consistent worship can bring about structural changes in the brain, thereby strengthening religious behavior. These results are in line with the views of classical scholars such as Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, and Al-Farabi, who emphasized the importance of spiritual practice in character building. This research contributes to the development of a holistic, contextual, and innovative Islamic education methodology for the current generation.

Integration of Multiple Intelligences Theory in Learning Processes Based on Pancasila Values: A Literature Review

Bambang Trisno, Neviyarni S, Afdal — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to analyze the concept of intelligence from the perspective of the Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory and its integration with Pancasila values in learning processes. Howard Gardner’s MI theory posits that intelligence is not limited to academic or intellectual abilities (IQ), but comprises nine domains: linguistic, logical–mathematical, spatial, bodily–kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential intelligences. In the Indonesian educational context, the development of these intelligences must align with Pancasila values to ensure that learning emphasizes not only cognitive achievement but also character formation. This study employs a literature review approach by examining scholarly sources related to intelligence, factors influencing its development, MI-based pedagogical strategies, and their relevance to Pancasila values. Findings suggest that intelligence is influenced by a combination of biological factors, social environments, and meaningful learning experiences. The integration of MI theory with Pancasila values promotes inclusive and humanistic learning, aligned with the goals of shaping the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (Pancasila Student Profile). Thus, MI-based learning fosters optimal development across academic, socio-emotional, and moral domains

Integration of Mohammad Natsir's Thoughts in Professional Mental Health Guidance and Counselling Practices

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Mental health is an important issue that is becoming increasingly complex in the modern era, marked by an increase in cases of stress, anxiety, and depression. In Indonesia, the majority of the population is Muslim, so mental health guidance and counselling practices require an approach that is not only based on modern psychology but also Islamic values. This article aims to analyse the integration of Mohammad Natsir's Islamic thinking into professional counselling practices. Natsir emphasises tauhid as the core of personality, akhlak as the manifestation of faith, and the balance of faith–knowledge–action as a principle of life, which are relevant as the foundation of Islamic counselling. This study uses a literature review method by examining Natsir's original works, secondary literature, and relevant research on Islamic counselling. The data were analysed using content analysis techniques, including reduction, categorisation, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Natsir's ideas can be integrated with modern counselling practices, for example, through spiritual strengthening as a coping mechanism, morals as the basis for moral guidance, and the integration of faith, knowledge, and action with Islamic cognitive-behavioural therapy. Natsir's ideas also emphasise the importance of the role of family, community, and worship in maintaining mental health. This is relevant to addressing contemporary challenges, such as social media addiction, identity crises, moral degradation, and weak social bonds in the digital age. Thus, Mohammad Natsir's thinking not only offers psychological solutions but also strengthens spiritual and moral aspects. This integration can serve as a conceptual framework for the development of more holistic, contextual, and transformative Islamic counselling in Indonesia.
