This research aims to analyze the existence and strategic role of the Lembaga Inspirasi Al-Qur’an (LIA) in transforming media-based da'wah into a global tafsir literacy movement. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and digital documentation, this study explores how LIA addresses the challenges of religious literacy among urban communities. The research findings indicate that LIA has successfully developed an integrated da'wah model that combines three main pillars: broadcasting media through the "One Day One Ayat" program on RRI, the production of tafsir literacy (Tafsir Inspirasi, Tafseer of Inspiration, and the Tafsir Muyassar Inspirasi project), and social movements based on waqf. The historical roots of LIA, which began with radio-based da'wah activities in 2006, evolved into a formal institution in 2012 with state recognition through the tashih certification from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The strategy of cross-country intellectual collaboration and a waqf distribution system spanning 24 provinces and 10 countries are key to expanding the reach of this tafsir literacy. The results conclude that LIA's success lies in its moderate thematic tafsir methodology, linguistic innovation (bilingualism), and a systematic operational system in grounding the messages of the Al-Qur’an at the grassroots level dynamically.

This research aims to examine the relationship between language and society through a sociolinguistic perspective, focusing on language variations that are influenced by social factors such as class, gender, ethnicity and age. Using the literature review method, this research analyzes various previous studies that discuss language variations, dialects, social identities, and the role of bilingualism in multicultural societies. The research results show that language not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a reflection of social identity, culture and power. Variations in language use, whether in the form of dialect, style, or register, reflect social stratification and power relations in society. In addition, the phenomena of bilingualism and language shift highlight the dynamics of interactions between national languages ​​and regional languages, with potential threats to the survival of regional languages. This research concludes that a deep understanding of language variation is important for preserving linguistic and cultural richness. The limitations of the literature review method underscore the need for further research to enrich sociolinguistic studies.

This undergraduate thesis examines English diphthong pronunciation errors among fifth-grade students at North Bali Bilingual School, with a specific focus on centring and opening diphthongs using Peter Roach's theory. The primary aim is to identify the errors made by the students and determine the underlying factors contributing to these errors. The research employs a qualitative method supported by quantitative data, involving voice recordings collected via VoiceMemos on an iPhone, which were then phonetically transcribed. Additionally, a questionnaire was administered to gather background information on the students that might explain the pronunciation errors. The findings reveal that while the majority of students can correctly produce diphthong sounds, 22% of them made pronunciation errors. The most frequently mispronounced diphthongs were /ɪə/ with 75% errors, /ɑʊ/ with 59% errors, and /eə/ with 25% errors. The questionnaire results suggest that the primary factors contributing to these errors include the students' native language, phonological interference, avoidance strategies, and potential neurodevelopmental disorders. The research provides insights into the specific challenges faced by bilingual students in mastering English diphthongs and highlights the need for targeted interventions to address these pronunciation issues.
