The al-Aqsa Mosque, the holiest site of the Holy Land, underwent a major architectural transformation initiated by the Muslim Umayyad Caliph ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwān (r. 66-86 AH/ 685-705 CE). Through his comprehensive construction program, ‘Abd al-Malik established the architectural importance of the Sacred Rock and elevated it as one of the fundamental Islamic religious foci. The vision behind the mosque's design is filled with religious enthusiasm and serves as a powerful architectural manifestation of ‘Abd al-Malik's political manifesto rooted in religious expression. This study provides an analysis of the process of creating the general shape of the ‘Holy’ within the sacred architecture of the al-Aqsa Mosque and its reflection in the general image of Bayt al-Maqdis' skyline. The research employs an interdisciplinary approach, re-examining and re-evaluating the historical literature and connecting it to archaeological observations and architectural coordination relevant to the subject of the study. The findings of this research shed light on the design concept of the al-Aqsa Mosque and make a significant contribution to clarifying our understanding of the early Islamic architecture of the site.
阿克萨清真寺是圣地最神圣的地方，由穆斯林倭马亚哈里发Abd al-Malik ibn Marwān（公元前66-86年在位，公元前685-705年在位）发起了一次重大的建筑改造。通过全面的建筑计划，Abd al-Malik确立了圣岩的建筑重要性，并将其提升为伊斯兰宗教的基本焦点之一。清真寺设计背后的愿景充满了宗教热情，是阿布德·马利克植根于宗教表达的政治宣言的有力建筑表现。本研究分析了在阿克萨清真寺的神圣建筑中创造“神圣”的总体形状的过程，以及它在Bayt al-Maqdis天际线的总体图像中的反映。该研究采用了跨学科的方法，重新审查和评估历史文献，并将其与考古观察和与研究主题相关的建筑协调联系起来。这项研究的发现揭示了阿克萨清真寺的设计理念，并为阐明我们对该遗址早期伊斯兰建筑的理解做出了重大贡献。

Due to advances in technology, foreign countries and their diplomats have resorted to social media to reach a wider and more global audience. Israel, like many others, has taken advantage of the digital world to improve its image in the Middle East. In fact, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs started a special department for digital diplomacy, which manages dozens of digital pages in multiple languages. This paper investigates the strategies that Israel has employed in its digital diplomacy in recent years to improve its image with its Arab neighbors by analyzing approximately 600 posts published on the Israeli Facebook page “Israel Speaks Arabic.” Results of the analysis reveal that the page employs many propaganda strategies to attract Arabs and earn their recognition and acceptance of Israel, such as positing digital publications in frameworks related to conflict, responsibility, and morality in a way that shows Israel as a rational, democratic, peace-loving state that cooperates with its Arab neighbors. “Israel Speaks Arabic” also employs persuasive means that address passion and desires using religion and the humanization of the occupation and its army. Other strategies include the manipulation of terminology, repetition, the amplification of events, and the employment of eminent Arabic voices against the Palestinians that serve Israel’s narrative at the expense of the Palestinian one. The article rests on framing theory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using short stories as a teaching vocabulary resource for second grade students at Babul Khaer Islamic Boarding School Bulukumba. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group to evaluate the impact of short stories on students' vocabulary acquisition. The participants in this research were 16-member classes of second-grade students (XI. Exact-2 as the experimental class and XI. Social Science-2 as the control class). The study instrument consisted of a test and a questionnaire. This data showed that the pre-test mean score for the experimental class was 47.31 and that it increased to 56.75 on the post-test. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group, who were exposed to short stories, significantly improved their vocabulary compared to the control group. The results suggest that short stories can be a valuable resource for vocabulary instruction in second grade students. Furthermore, the study highlights the potential implications of integrating short stories into the curriculum, including enhanced student engagement, improved critical thinking skills, and enriched cultural understanding. Additional research is needed to further explore the long-term effects of using short stories for vocabulary instruction and its impact on students' overall language development.

This study aimed to examine the effect of skimming and scanning strategies on improving reading comprehension among students attending the English club at Senior High School Zainul Hasan 1 Genggong. A considerable number of students continue to struggle with reading, an area that is integral to their academic progress and language acquisition. Addressing these challenges necessitates effective teaching tactics to enhance reading comprehension skills, the exploration of which formed the core of this research. The study utilized a pre-experimental research design, focusing on a single group pre-test and post-test methodology. The sample consisted of 30 students who received targeted instruction on skimming and scanning strategies over a determined period. Skimming involves rapidly reviewing a text to get a general idea, while scanning is a technique used for quickly locating specific information within a text. Both strategies are believed to be pivotal in assisting learners to become more efficient and effective readers. Data collected from the pre and post-tests was analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. The alternative hypothesis, suggesting that skimming and scanning techniques have no significant effect on reading comprehension, is rejected if the Sig (2-tailed) value is more than 0.05. Conversely, if the Sig (2-tailed) is less than 0.05, the alternative hypothesis is accepted, indicating a significant effect of skimming and scanning techniques on students' reading comprehension. The study's findings revealed that the students who received training in skimming and scanning demonstrated significant improvement in their reading comprehension, substantiating the beneficial impact of these techniques. This improvement is further corroborated by the Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is less than the critical threshold of 0.05, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. The statistically significant results from the Paired Sample T-Test provided robust evidence supporting the efficacy of skimming and scanning techniques in enhancing students' reading comprehension skills. This demonstrates the significance of these strategies in addressing reading comprehension challenges among students and informs the pedagogical approaches for teaching reading in EFL contexts. It underscores the need for their integration in curriculum planning and instruction, thereby contributing substantially to the academic discourse on reading comprehension strategies.

The purpose of this study is to explore EFL higher education students’ intercultural communicative competence in community interactions based on communal perspectives. The study will employ a qualitative approach using two types of interviews: individual (a face-to-face meeting with one community member) and small group (videoconferencing with two or three members as the representation of the student’s community). Six-phase guide of thematic analysis was employed in this study. The study reveals that the message content and message relationship are displayed as important elements in community interaction. In practicing intercultural communicative competence in the community, EFL students portrayed open-mindedness, self-awareness, and nonverbal communication skills as the key characteristics of effective communication. Furthermore, the emergence of misunderstanding in community interaction is undeniably linked to speaker-related, interlocutor-related, and participant-related trigger. Therefore, EFL students addressed the use of language and the practice of tolerance to incorporate intercultural aspects in community interaction.

This meta-analysis explores the impact of formative assessment on students' motivation in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) within the context of Indonesia. Drawing on a comprehensive search and analysis of relevant literature, the review investigates the impact of formative assessment on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and proposes strategies to enhance motivation through formative assessment. This review examined 37 qualifying studies and analyzes the formative assessment impact, which have been categorized into three aspects namely; (1) the impact on intrinsic motivation, (2) the impact on extrinsic motivation, and (3) the impact on academic motivation and the potential strategies which consisted of four aspects such as (1) Promote Collaboration and Group Work, (2) Scaffold Learning and Provide Support, (3) Encourage Reflective Practices, and (4) Foster a Sense of Competence and Progress. The implications for practice highlight practical recommendations for educators to implement formative assessment strategies in the Indonesian EFL context. By integrating these recommendations, educators can create a dynamic learning environment that enhances students' motivation, engagement, and overall language learning success.
