“…The teaching materials used in EFL classrooms in Islamic higher education tend to use foreign cultures that are inappropriate for Islamic and Indonesian cultures. The results of this study harmonized with the research findings by Faridi et al (2016) and Cahyo et al (2019). Despite Nurfitriani et al (2018) had developed thematic teaching material based on local wisdom for elementary school students, Van Van (2016), Syed et al (2019), and Usadiati and Norahmi, (2019) had developed thematic teaching material based on local wisdom for junior high school students, they were found to have limited Islamicintegrated reading materials and lack the Indonesian culture.…”

“…Besides, the pictures in the book are not relevant to the Islamic cultural context. It was found that the teaching materials often showed native English speaker's pictures and those were inappropriate for Islamic schools in terms of clothes usage (Ariyanto, 2018;Faridi et al, 2016). The pictures in general English teaching material often exploited women's bodies as they wear short clothes which are not acceptable for Islamic school based on the akhlak (the practice of virtue, morality, and manners in Islamic theology and philosophy).…”

The development of religious characters and local wisdom in an English textbook is an effort to develop students’ English competence without ignoring their religious values and culture in English communication. The purpose of this current study is to design an EFL teaching textbook based on religious characters and local wisdom that can be appropriately used for Islamic higher education at Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang, Indonesia. Research and Development type was used to design the textbook in four stages, namely, need analysis, designing textbook, try-out, and textbook revision. The observation, questionnaires, and interviews were used to collect the data. The findings revealed that textbook development resulted in eight chapters with the various themes of religious characters and local wisdom. Each chapter consists of English skills including listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar. The results of the textbook validations from four English language experts and learners revealed that the score was 3.53 (88.5%) within the interval of 1 to 4 and it is sorted out into a ‘strongly agree’ category. The textbook based on religious characters and local wisdom provides the students with particular challenges to respond or communicate while exploring their local cultures and practices. To find out the effectiveness of that textbook, it is recommended that an experimental study should be conducted by future researchers.

“…Subjects' direct involvement in researching for the materials, in discussing with their peers and teacher, and also in teaching the materials with their own chosen methods has helped subjects' comprehension on the subject matter.Through teaching, subjects understand the materials more thoroughly as also mentioned by Ahmed [6]. Subjects' better comprehension on the materialshas also been the result of their being given a chance to discuss the materials as also stated by Kemberas cited in [8]. Post-test However, this study was conducted with some limitations too.…”

The education world in Indonesia has recently tried to implement a quite radical shift, from the conservative teacher-centered approach to a more dynamic student-centeredlearning. Learning by Teaching, one of the approaches which emphasizes the involvement of students in teaching and learning interaction, has been applied across countries despite its introduction several decades ago. In addition, studies towards this approach have reported its success and advantages, yet there have only been a few sporadic attempts to apply this approach in Indonesia. In order to see if Learning by Teaching can really be implemented in classrooms, this case study intends to discover if Learning by Teaching is applicable to teach Tenses. This quantitative study employed an English test as the instruments after the students experienced Learning by Teaching. The result of this study shall offer some insight to schools and universities across Indonesia whether Learning by Teaching as one of student-centered learning approaches can be implemented to help students learn English language.

“…As English was perceived very important for students both in their academic studies and future careers Nurakhir & Palupi, (2018), it is then important for both students and teachers to work cooperatively to deal with this issue. The way the students learn and increase their literacy will be very much influenced by the teaching and learning process in which the students are involved; therefore, as educators, teachers play an important role to make the learning meaningful, interesting, creative, dynamic, and interactive (Faridi et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the demonstration of linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural dimensions of academic literacy in the written texts produced by the students of the nursing program. A descriptive qualitative research design was used to meet the purpose of the study. Data were collected from the students’ written texts, which served as the students’ responses to an English quiz. Fifteen out of fifty-two students’ written texts were randomly selected for the analysis. A modified scale table from the existing literature was used as a guideline during the analysis. This scale describes an assessment of the three dimensions of literacy: linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural. The results of the analysis showed that, in general, the students had a fair level of linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural dimensions of literacy. They could partially use layouts, punctuations, capitalizations, verb conjugations, and agreement as well as spelling. They also seemed to be familiar with some types of texts and generic structures, as well as linguistic features. However, there was evidence that students provided a less complete response and sometimes irrelevant information as well as an inconsistent interpretation of the subject of the text. This study indicates a high need for nursing students to improve their ability in academic literacy in English. As academic literacy is not a natural phenomenon, instead a learned ability, it should be developed and fostered in the educational institutions.
