Selain itu perlu diketahui, kegiatan dakwah islam tidak mesti harus selalu diadakan pada lingkup majelis ta’lim yang berisi ceramah, tausiyah maupun nasihat tentang ilmu keagamaan baik membahas tentang ilmu syari’at Islam, tafsir, tauhid, dan lain-lainnya.

This has also been the case in our EFL class. As a result, many of them feel discouraged to read and to write. These barriers also led to poor achievement in these language skills. To deal with such an issue, EFL teachers need to design an enjoyable and meaningful reading and writing activities in their class. This article presents some ideas of how EFL teachers could integrate reading and writing activities regarding personal narrative.

Case study was employed by involving English Teachers and a School headmaster. This study revealed EFL teachers found it challenging to manage classroom. This is partly caused by the class size and their limited experiences and authority to manage class. They also suffered from intimidating lesson plans design. Moreover, they found it daunting to encourage students to learning English, resulting in teachers' stress. Further, barriers of novice EFL teachers' professional learning were associasted with their attitude toward continous learning needs and limited programs to improve teachers' competency. It also revealed that this pesantren and the school where this study was carried out have yet to set TPD programs for its teache...

People use it as a tool for communication around the world. Not only does it connect people from diverse cultural backgrounds, but it also mediates people in business, politics, education and technology advancement. Despite this, English for the context of Indonesia remains a foreign language, and it is very unlikely to be adopted as a second language like those in neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore or Brunei. The status of English as a foreign language has implications on learners' and teachers' motivation for teaching and learning English (Haerazi, et al., 2018). For learners, they cannot find any immediate use of mastering English, except to pass the national exam. For teachers, the limited time allocated for learning English (only two hours per week) is of a great challenge (Martin-anatias, 2018). Time constraint leads to teachers' difficulty to create an engaging and encouraging learning atmosphere. A plethora of studies have been conducted to deal with students' problems in learning English. These studies cover qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method and all of which aim to tackle the language learning issues and to promote effective learning and better learning outcomes. Despite the presence of the existing studies, there is limited discussion found in the literature about effective learning and teaching strategies from the context of English language teachers. This study aimed at uncovering an Indonesia English teacher's belief about effective ways to learn and teach English.

For instance, they are the one who should decide what learners are to learn, how the students should "behave" in the classroom. In the end of the teaching learning process, it is the teachers who would judge the students' learning achievement.

Ceramah tentang berbagai topik yang terkadang tidak lagi uptodate bahkan kurang begitu relevan dengan konteks budaya dan sosial mahasiswa. Ruang tersebut telah merekam sejarah panjang kehidupan kampus para mahasiswa, dimana setiap dinding, meja dan bangku yang mereka duduki akan menjadi saksi atas berbagai sikap dan tindakan mereka selama berada di ruangan tersebut. Semua benda di ruangan itupun diam membisu menyaksikan ada mahasiswa yang ngantuk dan jenuh mendengarkan ceramah dosen mereka. Mereka dibiarkan terbawa ke alam hayalan, ketempat yang jauh dan berpuluhan kilometer dari ruang tersebut. Seringkali mereka kembali dari alam " dimensi maya " tersebut setelah mata kuliah berakhir. Tetapi, tidak semua mahasiswa berperilaku demikian karena ada juga mahasiswa berusaha untuk tetap fokus mendengarkan kata demi kata dari sang pengajar yang dianggap mulia. Mungkin karena mereka pernah belajar Ta'lim Muta'allim atau ahlakul banin, yakni ilmu tentang adab dan etika sebagai seorang pembelajar. Kisah ini bukan tentang ilmu adab tersebut, bukan pula tentang ruangan dengan kursi yang seringkali tak tertata dan terkadang mata kesulitan untuk menemukan bagian mana yang bisa ditonjolkan keindahannya. Kisah ini adalah tentang perjalanan sekelompok mahasiswa menjadi ilmuwan muda, yang berangkat dari titik mencari dan menerima pengetahuan, dan akhirnya berevolusi menjadi individu yang suka memberi dan berbagi, namun mereka dipenuhi hasrat rasa ingin tahu yang mendalam. Dan merekapun telah melalui serangkaian uji coba kesabaran, yang akhirnya membuat mereka menjadi sarjana pendidikan yang memiliki rasa percaya diri tinggi. Senyum sumringah dengan tatapan penuh syukur di relung hati mereka karena telah meraih satu pencapaian hidup yakni menyelesaikan ujian skripsi, yudisium dan wisuda. Hal tersebu menjadi bukti kepuasan bathin yang tak mampu diukur oleh rupiah atau nalar biasa. Sebuah pencapaian yang penuh makna.

Meskipun kita telah lama bergelut dalam aktivitas menulis, khususnya di bangku sekolah dan perguruan tinggi, menulis tetaplah menjadi beban tersendiri bagi banyak orang, terutama bagi penulis pemula.

Katzenbach‘s strategy is derived from their study on several global enterprises like
Apple, Microsoft, etc. which have successfully reached their peak
performance. Further, Katzenbach found that those companies could achieve much higher performance, better customer focus, and a more coherent and ethical stance by following these principles. More importantly, they highlight that these business organizations view culture as an accelerator of change, not a hindrance. In other words, culture is seen as a competitive advantage.
