This study explores the integration of critical literacy into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading courses in Indonesian higher education. Emphasizing students’ ability to critically analyze, evaluate, and reflect on texts, the study positions critical literacy as a pedagogical approach that fosters social, cultural, and ideological awareness through reading instruction.

Employing a narrative inquiry approach, the research documents an Indonesian lecturer’s experiences and pedagogical practices in designing and implementing critical literacy-oriented EFL reading instruction. The study aims to contribute both conceptually and pedagogically to EFL education in higher education by highlighting the lecturer’s role in cultivating critical and reflective readers.

Komunikasi rekayasa dalam konstruksi merupakan proses penyampaian dan pertukaran informasi teknis secara sistematis melalui berbagai media, seperti gambar teknik, spesifikasi teknis, laporan, dan dokumen kontrak. Proses ini berperan penting dalam menerjemahkan gagasan perencanaan menjadi pekerjaan fisik di lapangan, sekaligus menjadi dasar koordinasi antar disiplin, pengendalian mutu, serta pengambilan keputusan teknis selama pelaksanaan proyek.

Komunikasi rekayasa yang efektif menuntut kejelasan, ketepatan, dan keseragaman informasi agar dapat dipahami secara sama oleh seluruh pemangku kepentingan proyek. Ketidaktepatan atau ketidaksinkronan komunikasi dapat menimbulkan kesalahan pekerjaan, keterlambatan, dan pemborosan sumber daya. Oleh karena itu, penerapan komunikasi rekayasa yang terstruktur dan terstandar menjadi faktor kunci dalam meningkatkan efisiensi, mutu, dan keselamatan dalam proyek konstruksi.

Politeness in language use within the teaching and learning process of Indonesian language is a fundamental aspect that supports effective educational communication between teachers and students. Polite language reflects respect, ethical awareness, and mutual appreciation, while also functioning as a means of character formation and the development of a healthy academic culture. In the classroom context, linguistic politeness is not limited to word choice, but also encompasses intonation, speech structure, and the appropriateness of language use in relation to social roles and communicative situations.

Through Indonesian language instruction, politeness in language is systematically taught and practiced as an integral part of comprehensive language competence. Teachers serve as role models in the use of proper and polite language, while students are guided to communicate effectively, respectfully, and responsibly. Thus, linguistic politeness in the teaching and learning process not only enhances the quality of classroom interaction but also contributes to the development of ethical and socially responsible language behavior in broader social contexts.

This article presents an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) syllabus model for an Islamic Banking Study Program grounded in systematic needs analysis. It argues that syllabus design should start from clearly mapped communicative demands of students’ future academic and professional tasks—such as reading Sharia-compliant financial documents, drafting reports, delivering presentations, and handling client-facing interactions—so that learning outcomes align with real workplace discourse and program outcomes.

The proposed model integrates OBE principles by translating needs-analysis findings into measurable learning outcomes, targeted language functions, and authentic task sequences. Core design principles include domain relevance (Islamic finance terminology and genres), skills integration (reading–writing–speaking–listening in workplace scenarios), scaffolding from general to specialized competence, and performance-based assessment through projects and simulations that mirror industry practices.

Selain sebagai olahraga dan pertahanan diri, pencak silat juga berkembang sebagai seni pertunjukan dan sarana pembentukan karakter seperti disiplin, hormat, dan tanggung jawab.

Sociological Anthropological Institutions: The Role of Midwives in Health Promotion examines midwives as pivotal actors within socio-health institutions who mediate between formal medical systems and local cultural contexts. From a sociological and anthropological perspective, midwives do not merely perform clinical functions; they act as agents of social change who interpret, negotiate, and transmit health values in ways that align with community norms, beliefs, and practices. Through sustained interpersonal relationships with mothers and families, midwives build trust, shape health-related behaviors, and strengthen reproductive and family health in a culturally responsive and sustainable manner.

Paradigma teknik sipil mencakup prinsip dasar yang mendasari perencanaan, desain, konstruksi, dan pemeliharaan infrastruktur. Di dunia akademik, teknik sipil diajarkan dengan fokus pada teori dan metode yang efisien, berbasis pada standar internasional dan teknologi terbaru. Namun, dalam penerapannya di lapangan, banyak tantangan yang muncul, terutama terkait dengan ketidaksesuaian desain dengan kondisi lokal, keterbatasan sumber daya, dan kurangnya pengawasan. Realitas ini seringkali menghambat proyek konstruksi di Indonesia, terutama di daerah terpencil, di mana faktor sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya masyarakat lokal sering kali diabaikan. Oleh karena itu, terdapat kesenjangan antara teori yang diajarkan di perguruan tinggi dan kebutuhan praktis di lapangan, yang mengharuskan penerapan solusi yang lebih kontekstual dan berbasis pada kondisi nyata masyarakat.

Family-Friendly Hydrological Management is an approach that integrates clean water treatment technologies with the principles of safety, affordability, and sustainability at the household level. The primary goal of this management strategy is to empower families to effectively manage the quality of their water, using simple and efficient technologies such as biosand filters, household-scale membrane filtration, and rainwater harvesting systems. This approach not only proves effective in improving water quality but can also be implemented at low cost with easy maintenance, while fostering family awareness of the importance of sustainable water management practices.

The rapid development of social media has transformed the way individuals interact, shifting communication from face-to-face to digital platforms that are faster and more efficient. While social media facilitates interactions, it diminishes non-verbal communication elements such as facial expressions and body language, which affects the quality of interpersonal relationships.

Communication in the social media era tends to be more superficial, with risks of miscommunication and over-communication. These changes also impact emotional closeness, social norms, and communication ethics, while creating the phenomenon of social media addiction, which hinders effective communication in real life.

Overall, despite its advantages, the shift in face-to-face communication requires attention to ensure that interpersonal relationships remain meaningful and of high quality.

Optimizing these drawings—through the standardization of symbols, enhancement of technical details, and the use of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM)—can minimize misinterpretation and improve work efficiency. Supported by adequate training for field workers, well-optimized planning drawings enhance coordination, increase implementation accuracy, and ensure overall construction quality

“Dance as a Medium for Developing Creativity and Motor Skills in Early Childhood”
Dance serves as an effective learning medium for stimulating creativity while simultaneously enhancing motor skills in early childhood. Through rhythmic movements, body exploration, and expressive gestures, children develop coordination, agility, and both fine and gross motor abilities. Dance activities also provide opportunities for imagination, creative movement production, and positive emotional expression. Thus, dance plays an essential role in supporting children’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development in a holistic manner.

This overview highlights the use of various mathematical methods to accurately and efficiently determine the structural dimensions of buildings. Through approaches such as static analysis, elasticity and stiffness analysis, dynamic analysis, linear programming, and the application of safety factors, structural design can be carried out with greater precision. These methods assist engineers in selecting safe, economical, and load-appropriate dimensions for columns, beams, and foundations. A comprehensive mathematical approach is essential for producing reliable building structures that meet modern civil engineering standards.
