Analisis Kesalahan Tatabahasa Dalam Kalangan Murid Orang Asli Jakun

Literasi merupakan kebolehan untuk menulis, membaca dan memahami perkataan, ayat tunggal serta ayat yang mudah dalam mengaplikasikan pengetahuan tersebut dalam proses pembelajaran serta komunikasi harian. Kegagalan murid orang Asli dalam menguasai sistem tatabahasa bahasa Melayu dengan betul memberikan kekangan utama bagi murid orang Asli Jakun menguasai bahasa Melayu dengan baik. Oleh itu kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan membincangkan jenis kesalahan tatabahasa yang dilakukan oleh murid Orang Asli Jakun di Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Bharu, Lenga Johor. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan memfokuskan kepada analisis kandungan dan temu bual. Sebanyak 30 set latihan tatabahasa telah diberikan kepada pelajar Tahap 1.

A Systematic Review of Intercultural Communication Competence Development in CEFR- Aligned English Proficiency Textbooks

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a well-established outline that describes language learners’ abilities to use language and categorises what a learner can do using a six-point scale from basic users (A1) to proficient users (C2). CEFR offers a structure for developing language curriculum and syllabus, textbook, testing, and measuring and evaluating learning outcomes from kindergarten to tertiary levels (Little, 2016). As CEFR gains prominence within the curriculum and the global landscape becomes increasingly diverse, the question arises as to whether the learning resources in CEFR-aligned English textbooks adequately address ICC’s objectives and provide a comprehensive representation of cultural knowledge. Hence, the primary objective of this systematic review is to analyse current studies that investigate the incorporation of cultural material within English textbooks aligned with the CEFR framework, explicitly focusing on university-level students. The anticipated outcomes of this review are poised to provide a more lucid understanding of the prevailing theoretical and pedagogical challenges concerning integrating cultural elements into CEFR-aligned textbooks and ultimately seek to augment the level of ICC of university students

"Journey to Self-Actualization”: Al-Ghazali's Lens on Women's Metamorphosis in The Forty Rules of Love Novel

This paper explores the subject of love in literature and its transformative effects on female characters, particularly in Middle Eastern literature. A qualitative study was conducted on the work of renowned feminist author Elif Shafak, who addresses the issue of love and transformation in her novel "The Forty Rules of Love." Shafak’s works have successfully revitalized Middle Eastern literature by challenging stereotypes about women in the region. Instead of depicting them as subalterns or overshadowed by male-dominated tropes, Shafak empowers female protagonists, highlighting their voices and experiences. Hence, drawing on Al-Ghazali's concept of Tazkiyah al-Nafs or Purification of The Soul, a thematic analysis was conducted to explore the experiences of three female protagonists and identify how the concept of love serves a purpose in amplifying their voices and celebrating their spiritual growth. Findings suggest that divine love, tasawwuf, and Sufi teachings play a significant role in enhancing both the spiritual and physical well-being of Shafak’s female protagonists. This paper concludes that contemporary novels such as Shafak’s are breaking away from traditional male-centric narratives and increasingly portraying heroic women as empowered and proactive figures. This shift in the literary representation of women highlights the importance of diverse and empowering storytelling, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and progressive literary landscape. This study hopes to contribute to the understanding of the transformative power of love and its importance in achieving self-actualization and spiritual well-being for individuals, particularly women, in contemporary Society
