“…The language learning situation of the aforementioned students in Chinese schools is not entirely ideal, as these learners face a curriculum that is quite congested with content to be studied and learned within a day in three languages: Filipino, English, and Chinese. Instead of acquiring multiple languages, students may experience language processing issues such as subtractive bilingualism or mild attrition due to the contact time with particular languages and interlocutors as permitted by the environment (Gonzales & Hiramoto, 2020;Low, 2020).…”

This study examined teachers' teaching experiences in an elementary school in China who engaged Chinese and Filipino students in English classes. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed to explore teachers' experiences handling learners. Using a purposive sampling technique, data was collected from 10 teachers with experience working with students in Lam-an, Ozamiz City, Philippines. The data collection involved in-depth interviews with teachers categorized into two groups: Case 1, consisting of Filipino teachers, and Case 2, comprising Chinese teachers. The data encompassed four main categories: methods of class management in Chinese schools, student responses to classroom management, challenges faced by teachers in student management, and strategies employed by teachers to overcome these challenges. The findings revealed that teachers utilized diverse strategies to effectively instruct Chinese students, encountering challenges such as language barriers and managing a varied student body. Additionally, the teachers made efforts to understand their students better, provide necessary reinforcement to spark student interest and implement teaching strategies tailored to the needs of their students. The study concluded that while managing students in a Chinese school is challenging, witnessing students learn and grow despite these difficulties is ultimately rewarding for the teachers.

“…Further developments in this interpretative tradition have been noted by scholars like Nur Ichwan, who points out the emergence of Quranic exegesis in several local languages such as Javanese, Malay, Bugis, and Sundanese (Ichwan, 2002). The Malay language, in particular, plays a significant role in the region, being one of the official languages in Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and parts of Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines (Low, 2020). Notably, the Indonesian language, while an offshoot of Malay, has undergone significant evolution and adaptation, incorporating numerous elements from Javanese, thus highlighting the linguistic and cultural interplay in the region's religious discourse.…”

The Jawi Books, an essential component of Islamic teachings in Southeast Asia, plays a vital role in cultural and religious education. Its study in Palembang, Indonesia, provides insights into the processes of cultural reproduction and adaptation within a contemporary context. This qualitative research explores the teaching methods, motivations, and cultural implications associated with studying the Jawi Books in Palembang. The methodology includes interviews with local scholars, observations of teaching sessions, and an analysis of the content and usage of the Jawi Book in various religious assemblies. The research discovered that the primary motivation for studying the Jawi Books is to aid local congregations in understanding Arabic texts. Despite its historical roots, the Jawi Books remains a significant source of religious knowledge, supported by a strong network of scholars across regions such as Kalimantan, Aceh, Malaysia, and Thailand. The teaching methods are varied, combining traditional approaches like the talaqqi method with modern digital platforms, including YouTube. The study uncovers a symbolic power struggle in the interpretation between Hadromaut and local Palembang clerics, suggesting widespread cultural assimilation. The study of the Jawi Books in Palembang is a prime example of cultural reproduction, adapting traditional Islamic teachings to contemporary needs and contexts, which is crucial for maintaining the relevance and transmission of religious knowledge across generations. These findings underscore the importance of local interpretations and teaching methods in preserving cultural and religious identities in an increasingly globalized world.
