Students are the next generation of the nation and need to be equipped with information or news that is up-to-date and contains positive and motivating values. This can be influenced by the use of good and correct language in providing information that can be accounted for its truth. The lack of critical reading literacy can affect the application of values ​​and mindsets of each individual. The development of increasingly sophisticated technology also has positive and negative impacts, especially in the use of inappropriate language that has an impact on misunderstandings related to the intent and purpose of information. In addition, the news presented does not match the elements of the news text, causing chaos, misunderstanding, and the emergence of hoax news that is easily spread to the public. This study aims to help students analyze the structure and language that is good and correct in the news text used as a learning resource. This study is also expected to provide both theoretical and practical benefits. Theoretically, the results of this study can be one of the literature on news texts that contain linguistic analysis found in online newspaper media. In addition, this study does not only discuss language, but also provides information or understanding regarding the characteristics of each online newspaper media that can be considered as a learning resource in schools. Practically, the results of this study are expected to be useful for teachers to understand and meet students' needs according to the competencies to be achieved in the learning process. In addition, the results of this study are expected to prevent language errors, especially in news texts so that the information conveyed can be well received by the public, especially students.

This study departs from the mubadalah approach in interpreting hadiths related to gender relations from the perspective of Faqihuddin Abdul Qadir's thought. Through a literature review and descriptive-analytical analysis method, this research examines how mubadalah, as a hermeneutic method, can offer a fair, contextual, and equitable reading of religious texts. In Faqihuddin's view, mubadalah is based on the principles of reciprocity and mutual relations between men and women, rejecting both gender hegemony and subordination. This approach serves as a critical response to the patriarchal constructions in Islamic interpretations that have marginalized women. The findings indicate that mubadalah can bridge the gap between conservative textual approaches and radical liberal readings, and is relevant for realizing justice and gender equality in the lives of Muslims

The low interest in reading among children in Indonesia is a serious challenge in developing quality human resources in the future. A culture of literacy that has not been formed since early childhood has an impact on the weakness of children's critical thinking, analytical skills, and imagination.

Summarizing Arabic texts plays a crucial role in understanding and disseminating knowledge. In Arabic language learning, there is a concept known as Naht, which is the process of simplifying or condensing lengthy and complex texts into a shorter form without diminishing the core meaning contained within them. However, in reality, many students still struggle to summarize Arabic texts due to less interactive teaching methods, resulting in passive attitudes and a lack of self-confidence among students. This study aims to develop more interactive teaching techniques to enhance student participation while supporting their critical thinking skills, particularly in the ability to summarize after reading Arabic texts. This research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the application of interactive methods such as group discussions and mind mapping positively impacts students' ability to summarize Arabic texts and develop critical thinking skills. Group discussions help deepen understanding and boost students' confidence, while mind mapping facilitates the identification of core material and makes learning more engaging and easier to remember. This technique has proven effective in improving summarization skills and sharpening critical thinking, thus it is recommended for teachers to implement and further develop it in order to create an optimal learning process for students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Izzul Islam.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using history and geography texts as learning media in improving students’ Arabic language skills at Zainul Hasan Islamic Boarding School in Genggong Probolinggo. The background of this research departs from the need to present Arabic language learning that is more contextual and integrative, given the dominance of traditional methods that emphasize grammatical aspects alone. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with a case study method, involving classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results showed that the integration of history and geography texts significantly improved students’ vocabulary acquisition, cultural understanding, as well as their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. The obstacles faced include limited thematic teaching materials, lack of teacher training in content-based approaches, and the complexity of text language. The solutions offered include the development of thematic teaching modules, teacher training, the use of visual media, and collaborative learning strategies. This study concludes that the use of history and geography texts is not only effective in language acquisition, but also in building cross-disciplinary connections that support the holistic development of santri competencies.

This paper examines the application of paraphrastic and analytical approaches in the appreciation of productive literature, especially for children's literature. Productive literary appreciation is important in fostering children's reading interest and creativity. The paraphrastic approach helps children re-express literary works in their own language, improving understanding and critical thinking skills. On the other hand, the analytical approach allows children to identify intrinsic and extrinsic elements in literary works, providing deeper insights. Through these two approaches, children are not only passive connoisseurs, but also active in creating and exploring new literary works. This paper explains the definition, characteristics, benefits, and examples of the application of both approaches in literary activities in elementary schools. It is hoped that by implementing this method, children can develop a better appreciation of literature and the moral values ​​contained therein, creating a productive and creative learning environment.

This study examines the depiction of women’s struggles in the novel Perempuan yang Menunggu di Lorong Menuju Laut by Dian Purnomo using Françoise d’Eaubonne’s ecofeminism perspective. The novel highlights a strong connection between women and nature, both of which are subjected to oppression within a patriarchal social structure. The core issue discussed in this research is how female characters in the story respond to various forms of injustice—social, cultural, and ecological—and how the text constructs a parallel between the exploitation of women and the degradation of nature. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the forms of resistance expressed by the female characters against gender-based oppression and environmental damage. In addition, the research aims to demonstrate how ecofeminism serves as a critical framework to expose and challenge patriarchal dominance through literature. This research applies a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis. Data were gathered using reading and note-taking techniques, then interpreted based on De’Eaubonne’s ecofeminist theory. The results reveal that women in the novel resist domination through various actions, such as speaking out against injustice, rejecting violence, and raising environmental awareness. Their resistance is portrayed not just as personal defiance but as a collective effort rooted in ecological consciousness. The novel, therefore, becomes a medium that challenges patriarchal norms while proposing a more balanced relationship between humans and nature. In conclusion, this study affirms literature’s role as a powerful tool to voice socio-environmental concerns and promote the empowerment of women as agents of change.
