Evaluasi Efektivitas Tata Kelola Taman Bacaan Masyarakat dalam Meningkatkan Literasi dan Kualitas Pembelajaran Nonformal melalui Model CIPP
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Community Reading Park (TBM) governance in improving literacy and the quality of non-formal learning using a mixed-methods approach, specifically the CIPP evaluation model (Context, Input, Process, Product). The research involved a sample of 12 TBM managers and officials from the Bogor Regency Education and Culture Office. The instruments used included questionnaires, interviews, observations, document reviews, and focus group discussions. The findings indicated that the effectiveness of TBM governance in enhancing literacy and the quality of non-formal learning is largely determined by the integration of context, input, process, and product aspects within the CIPP model. TBMs play a positive role in promoting community literacy, particularly by providing access to reading materials and learning spaces. However, limitations in the input aspects were identified, such as the quality and quantity of book collections, human resources, and financial support. The average effectiveness of TBM governance using the CIPP model was 3.56, which is classified as effective, contributing to improved literacy and non-formal learning quality. However, TBMs are not yet supported by adequate human resources, with 70% of TBMs having fewer than 10 volunteers. TBMs have great potential to become community-based literacy centers if managed more systematically and oriented toward community needs. Strengthening is required in areas such as planning, capacity building for managers, development of relevant collections, and support from various stakeholders to improve TBM management effectiveness.

Enhancing Students' Narrative Writing Through English Visual Prompt Cards at SMA Swasta Nurul Iman Tanjung Morawa
The purpose of this research was to investigate how effective English Visual Prompt Cards (EVPC) are at enhancing the narrative writing skills of eleventh graders at SMA Swasta Nurul Iman Tanjung Morawa. Writing has traditionally been regarded as one of the most difficult skills to master in English as a foreign language because it demands not only grammatical precision and vocabulary knowledge but also the ability to generate ideas, organize them coherently, and express them creatively. A lot of students struggle with narrative writing, especially when it comes to crafting plots, keeping logical coherence, and preserving motivation as they write. This study proposed EVPC as a visual-based tool aimed at fostering students’ creativity, steering idea generation, and alleviating writing-related anxiety as a means of tackling these challenges. The research utilized Classroom Action Research (CAR), carried out in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection. The study involved 30 students from the eleventh grade as participants, and data collection utilized a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods, such as pre-tests, post-tests, observation sheets, interviews, and questionnaires. The quantitative results showed considerable advancement: students’ writing mean score rose from 52.00 in the pre test to 77.66 in the first cycle and reached 82.40 in the second cycle, with every student successfully achieving the Minimum Passing Grade (KKM). The qualitative results further indicated that EVPC improved students’ motivation, confidence, and involvement in writing activities. Students indicated that visual prompts facilitated their generation of story ideas, organization of plots, and expansion of vocabulary. Teachers noted a significant change in the classroom atmosphere, with students becoming more active, collaborative, and eager to engage in writing exercises. This research shows that EVPC has significant pedagogical value in developing linguistic competence and positive learning attitudes. In addition to enhancing the quality of students’ writing, EVPC fostered in them the idea that narrative writing could be a worthwhile and pleasurable pursuit, rather than a taxing chore. This research indicates that EVPC can be successfully incorporated into English writing instruction, especially for narrative texts, and may also be suitable for other genres such as descriptive, recount, or expository texts. This study adds to the expanding literature on the use of innovative media in language education and offers practical insights for educators, learners, and researchers to come. To sum up, EVPC is an effective teaching resource that improves students’ narrative writing skills while also fostering their creativity, motivation, and self-assurance in learning English as a foreign language.

Impementasi Metode Talaqqi dalam Pembelajaran Al-Qur’an pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) As-Sunnah Kota Baubau
Problems in reading the Qur’an frequently occur, especially among elementary school students who are at the early stages of learning the Qur’an. One of the issues that arises is that students tend to read in a hurried manner and focus only on fluency in pronouncing the letters without paying attention to the rules of mad (elongation). In addition, when reading the Qur’an, the articulation of letters (makhraj al-huruf) is sometimes inaccurate. This study aims to examine how the talaqqi method is implemented in Qur’anic learning among students at SDIT As-Sunnah Baubau City, as well as to identify the advantages and disadvantages of applying the talaqqi method for elementary school students. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the talaqqi method is implemented through several stages, including the teacher reciting verses, followed by students listening and directly imitating what the teacher recites. In this implementation, the teacher provides immediate correction of the students’ recitation. The advantages of the talaqqi method lie in the direct interaction between teacher and students, allowing errors to be corrected promptly. Meanwhile, its disadvantages include time limitations, particularly when applied in large classes, making the method less effective due to its dependence on the teacher’s teaching ability.
Implementasi Psikologi Humanistik dalam Pendidikan Islam Modern
This study examines the application of humanistic psychology in modern Islamic education, departing from the issue that educational practices remain predominantly mechanistic and deterministic, thereby providing limited space for freedom, meaning, and the optimal development of students’ innate potential (fitrah). This condition calls for an alternative approach that is more oriented toward learners as active subjects in the educational process. The objective of this study is to elaborate on the development of humanistic psychology, starting from its philosophical roots, the classical phase (the ideas of Maslow and Rogers), to its contemporary phase (positive psychology, third-wave CBT, and neuroscience), as well as to formulate its practical implications for designing Islamic education that is relevant to current needs. The subject of this research consists of key literature on humanistic psychology, existentialism, phenomenology, and various contemporary writings in the field of Islamic education. The findings indicate a strong alignment between humanistic principles and the fundamental concepts of Islamic education, such as human dignity, fitrah, responsible freedom, and holistic character development. Classical humanism emphasizes empathetic and learner-centered educational relationships, while modern developments provide an empirical foundation for examining well-being, self-awareness, and character strengthening. It is concluded that integrating humanistic psychology with Islamic values has the potential to produce a more humanistic, dialogical, contextual, and transformative model of Islamic education.

Leveraging AI Chatbots in ESP: The Role of Digital Readiness in Enhancing Vocational Students’ Willingness to Communicate
This research investigates the effects of digital readiness and using AI chatbots affects vocational students' willingness to communicate in English, specifically for work or study purposes. The study used a questionnaire to collect data from 182 students in Sumatera, Indonesia and then analyzed the results to see how digital readiness and chatbot use individually and together impact students' willingness to communicate in English. The findings reveal that both digital readiness and AI chatbot use significantly and positively influence students’ WTC, with digital readiness emerging as the stronger predictor. The model explains a substantial proportion of variance in WTC, indicating that students’ preparedness to engage with digital technologies plays a critical role in maximizing the benefits of AI-mediated learning environments. AI chatbots were found to enhance communicative confidence, reduce anxiety, and encourage active participation in English communication. A novel contribution of this study is the identification of the dual role of learners’ mother language (L1). While strategic L1 use supports idea formulation and boosts confidence, excessive reliance may hinder spontaneous communication. AI chatbot interaction appears to facilitate a gradual shift from L1 dependence to more autonomous L2 use. These findings offer important theoretical and pedagogical implications for technology-enhanced ESP learning in vocational education contexts.
