“…Qoyyimah (2016) studies since the textbooks they analysed are Indonesian-produced. Sociohistorically, Indonesia is one of the world's most religious countries in which each and every Indonesian is required to embrace one of the six official religions (Haryanto, 2019). However, such a value is not found within the textbooks being analysed in the present study.…”

The inculcation of moral values in English textbooks, particularly in primary schools, has been a global concern in recent decades due to English’s growing importance as a global lingua franca and the impact it carries. Hence, the present study aimed to: (1) elucidate the realisation of moral values discursively represented in three primary school English textbooks entitled English Chest 1, 2 and 3, and (2) determine the extent of the textbooks’ contents in teaching the moral values. Fairclough’s (1995, 2013) framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) integrated with Kress & Van Leeuwen’s (2006) Visual Grammar Theory (VGT) was applied to elucidate the depiction of moral values in the textbooks. Additionally, Isaacs’ (2001) framework of Developmental Moral Values and Smetana’s (2006) Social Domain Theory were also adopted to look at how the contents of the textbooks teach moral values. The results show that (1) modesty (8,99%), curiosity (8,44%), perseverance (7,08%), and friendship (6,53%) are the most frequently occurring values in the three EFL textbooks. (2) The discursive realisation has revealed that certain fundamental moral values such as audacity, sociability, industriousness, respect for others, and responsibility are taught through the depictions of verbal-visual images in both school and familial contexts. Importantly, the three EFL textbooks have fairly adhered to the Indonesian moral (character) education goals and stipulation. They also provide implications on both primary school students and English teachers’ pedagogical, linguistic, and moral development so as to raise EFL textbook designers’ awareness to develop more morally-laden content.

“…Different religious groups and societies can refer to groups with differences in faith, religion, ethnicity, race, and culture. In Indonesia, various religions, such as Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and various tribes and ethnicities share traditional beliefs (Haryanto, 2019). Each of these religious groups and societies has different characteristics and uniqueness, and these differences must be respected and recognized for their existence.…”

This study aims to analyze the innovative strategies implemented by the government to strengthen religious tolerance in a multicultural society. Facing the challenges of harmony and understanding between religions, the government's role in promoting religious tolerance is becoming increasingly important. This study uses library research methods and qualitative approaches with content analysis techniques to produce a comprehensive data analysis by the principles of qualitative research. The study results show that the government's effective strategy in promoting religious tolerance in multicultural societies includes inclusive policies, multicultural education, interfaith dialogue, law enforcement, and inter-agency cooperation. By implementing these strategies, multicultural societies can live harmoniously, respect each other, and build a peaceful religious life. To achieve peaceful religious life in a multicultural society, individuals, religious groups, governments, and social institutions must respect diversity and jointly promote harmony between religions. This collaboration will be key to realizing a peaceful and harmonious religious life.

The Towani Tolotang community, nestled in the Sindenreng Rappang Regency of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of indigenous faith and culture. This research, spanning three months from March to June 2023, delves into the community's unique religious practices, challenges, and resilience, shedding light on Indonesia's complex landscape of religious diversity. The Towani Tolotang community's unwavering commitment to their ancestral beliefs, despite being classified under the umbrella of Hinduism by the Indonesian government, exemplifies the resilience of indigenous traditions. Their syncretic belief system, interweaving animism, Hindu rituals, and historical adaptations set them apart within a predominantly Muslim society. Traditional leaders safeguarding their rituals and traditions are critical to cultural preservation. The community's resilience lies in its adaptability, secrecy maintenance, and strategies for transmitting religious knowledge across generations. Challenges persist, with discriminatory policies and interactions with the majority Muslim society. However, the Towani Tolotang community's unwavering commitment to its unique identity serves as an inspiring example of cultural preservation. This research offers valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and advocates of religious diversity. It unravels the complexities of indigenous faith and its adaptation in a changing world, providing lessons in understanding, tolerance, and cultural heritage preservation. The Towani Tolotang community's story stands as a profound example of how traditions endure, evolve, and flourish amid the currents of history.
