The study aims to identify challenges teachers and students face in this process at an Islamic bilingual middle boarding school in Aceh, Indonesia. The participants included 27 boarding school students, one English teacher, and one Arabic teacher. The collected data underwent analysis using the interactive analysis model, which involves data reduction, display, and verification. The analysis focuses on specific activities within five categories: (1) mufradat (vocabulary), (2) controlling language use, (3) muhadasah (conversational activities), (4) competition, and (5) cooperation. The findings revealed that not all specified activities were consistently carried out, with each category featuring three implemented activities: daily vocabulary memorization, language festivals, and the application of punishments. The interviews brought forth challenges such as teachers' language proficiency limitations, students' low motivation, and a tendency to use the Indonesian language when unsupervised. These insights provide valuable guidance for similar boarding institutions that implement comparable language programs.

This paper aims to explore the process of self-actualization as a key criterion for developing psychological competence in future educators. To study and determine self-actualization as a criterion for the development of psychological competence of future teachers, a study was conducted at the theoretical and empirical levels. The Kazakh Humanitarian and Legal Innovation University students of various majors participated in the study. Teenagers must be assertive to succeed in all spheres of life, especially at school. Special attention on the part of a psychologist, parents, teachers and consultants should be paid to teenage girls when developing their confident behavior. The government should plan strategies for developing self-actualization skills for students, as there will be quite assertive young people. To eliminate possible inconsistencies noted in this and many other studies, it is essential to conduct further research on how gender affects self-confidence.

As the world has shifted dramatically, university graduates must possess hard and soft skills to compete in the job market and thrive in the competitive era of 5.0. Strong communication skills, encompassing speaking, listening, observing, and empathizing, are essential for success in this competitive environment. This paper aims to elaborate on implementing a simple classroom activity called "Show and Tell" to encourage students to communicate freely. The show-and-tell activity was modified to meet the needs of university-level students. The study involved 120 students from the civil engineering, law, and architecture departments of Musamus University of Merauke, with 53 female and 67 male students. This research utilized a qualitative approach to understand the learners' development better. The data collection methods in the field included field notes, audio-video recordings, and interviews with the learners. The results indicate that while students' English competencies were generally at a beginner level, the "show and tell" activity significantly enhanced their confidence and communication skills. Participants reported feeling more at ease when speaking in front of their peers, leading to improved articulation and organization of thoughts. Simultaneously, the activity also fostered empathy and a supportive learning environment, as students connected emotionally with their classmates.

Language and culture could not be learned and taught separately. Therefore, a learning material based on culture should be considered for a meaningful instructional process. This study is aimed to develop a culture based textbook for academic purpose using a model of teaching language and culture. This model includes language knowledge, language awareness, culture awareness, and culture experience. The first step (need assessment) concerning the need to develop a culture based textbook was done in the previous study by Zuchdi and Nurhadi (2019), while the level of students language competence and their cultural interest was done in the beginning of this study. This study was the development of an intercultural based textbook through these following procedures: defining objectives, identifying culture topics, developing materials and media of instruction, content layout and graphic design, internal and external review, try out for product validation, and developing final draft. Based on the survey, the majority of respondents were in level 3 and 4 of Indonesian language competence, so this textbook was developed for that levels. The respondents were students taking Indonesian language program in Ahmad Dahlan University in Yogyakarta. The data were collected using pretest-postest and instructor's reflection, and then analyzed by finding out the difference between the scores category. Almost half of the pretest scores were in the low and medium category, while all of the postest scores were in the high category. Based on the the instructor's reflection, the students were really involving to study using this textbook. It can be concluded that the culture based Indonesian language textbook for academic purpose is effective for teaching and learning Indonesian as a foreign language.

Criticism of exams can be used to gauge student achievement for graduation. This study examined the quality of Summative Tests (ST) created by senior high school teachers in Palembang, Indonesia, specifically focusing on the Islamic Education subject. The evaluation criteria included item validity, reliability, discrimination index, and disruptive effectiveness. The analysis involved 800 answer sheets from 20 teachers. Results indicated that while 20 teachers achieved high reliability, two struggled with poor reliability in terms of disruptive effectiveness. Respondent 11 faced challenges with only 28% valid items and a moderate Cronbach's Alpha. Additionally, the disruptive effectiveness and discrimination index were poor. These findings suggest a need for teacher training to enhance skills in crafting and administering high-quality summative tests. The implications of these findings extend to improving teacher training and ensuring the effectiveness of summative assessments in gauging student achievements for graduation. The research contributes valuable insights into the complexities of teacher-created exams and offers a basis for enhancing the overall quality of education assessment practices.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the sudden transition of teaching and learning from the perspectives of the teacher educators and students of an education graduate faculty in one of the universities in Brunei Darussalam. During the first COVID-19 outbreak in the country, higher education institutions shifted the conventional teaching and learning approach from mostly face-to-face to fully online teaching and learning. The online questionnaires were distributed to the teaching staff and students via email and the response rate of the online questionnaires for teacher educators and students was 88% and 57.6% respectively. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data where frequency and percentage were then utilised to describe the patterns of the responses. It was found that half of the teacher educators and students perceived there were more interactions through online teaching activities between the teaching staff and their students. However, both staff and students mentioned that their physical and mental wellbeing were also affected due to the sudden transition to online teaching and learning.
