Radiansyah Radiansyah, Malik Muzaffar Shakeer — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to explore the theme of unifying Qur'an recitation by analyzing various sub-themes. The study focuses on linguistic analysis, comparative study of recitation styles, technological tools for analysis, and social and cultural factors. Through linguistic analysis, researchers examine the phonetics, intonation, and pronunciation of different recitation styles to identify patterns and variations. The comparative study compares and contrasts recitation styles to highlight similarities and differences, laying the groundwork for unification. Technological tools such as digital analysis and machine learning algorithms are employed to analyze large datasets of recitation recordings. These tools aid in quantifying differences and identifying commonalities. Additionally, the research explores the social and cultural factors that influence recitation practices, considering historical, geographical, and sociocultural contexts. By understanding these factors, researchers can develop strategies to unify Qur'an recitation while respecting and preserving the diversity of recitation traditions. The findings of this research contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in unifying Qur'an recitation and pave the way for a harmonized and universally accepted approach to the recitation of the Qur'an.

Enhancing Vocabulary towards Expressive Writing of Senior High School Students of Holy Rosary College Foundation

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Ineffective writing has come from the insufficient learning of words and their meaning. This problem has made students more vulnerable by preventing them from performing constructively through spoken or written endeavors. It makes them unfree to tell their own story of imaginative craft, thus holding back ideas that slow their passion for trying things liberally. Words really are, and they have the discrete power to make things less valuable and make some pieces endearing to one’s ears. This problem has caused concern among the researchers; the observation was visibly intact over the students' daily course of action in class. The majority of the written works are uttered from words briefly comprehended, or if not, words taken from the first search on the internet—precisely used to meet up with the maximum of the outdated tasks. The researchers have gathered surveys and interviews from both senior high school students and teachers. The survey is done through a Google Form, which leads to the two sections of the questionnaires. On the other hand, teachers' interviews were done through recorded questioning and the transfer of answers from the question handouts. The researchers want to know what factors are interfering with effective writing. Furthermore, researchers wanted to find out the severity of the given factors, which can precede alternative routes towards expanding horizons in written works. According to the researchers' analysis of the data, senior high school students at Holy Rosary College Foundation reported experiencing "occasionally" about half of the aforementioned issues. As a result, children frequently learn insufficiently, which hinders the development of a deeper understanding of spoken and written language. The adjustments for a better vocabulary result in learning that is progressing. Opportunities are created for learning as well as for interacting with peers and supporting one another's future achievements. Participating in all elements of schooling will foster a balanced perspective on learning and teach students about the complexity of language.
