Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Regional languages are an important part of cultural identity and are currently facing the threat of extinction due to a decline in the number of speakers and limited written documentation. The Kusa Manea language in Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, shows signs of a shift in usage, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to develop a trilingual picture dictionary (Kusa-Manea–Indonesian–English), test its readability and community acceptance, and analyze its contribution to the revitalization of the regional language. The method used is a participatory approach within Community Service (PKM) activities involving native speakers, teachers, and students. The stages of the service project included vocabulary identification, language documentation, orthography development, dictionary development, as well as validation and readability testing. The project resulted in an illustrated dictionary containing approximately 200 basic vocabulary words accompanied by visual illustrations. Validation showed a high level of acceptance among native speakers, while readability testing indicated that approximately 80% of students were able to understand the vocabulary with the aid of images. These findings demonstrate that the trilingual picture dictionary is an effective literacy tool capable of enhancing language comprehension and supporting the revitalization of the Kusa Manea language through a visual and contextual approach.

Results showed that 90.0% of participants achieved good to excellent scores on the post-test, with a mean score of 84.6. The average level of agreement across all attitude indicators reached 92.6%, reflecting significant positive changes in participants’ understanding and commitment to Islamic values.

Motivational Seminar and Practical Qur'anic Tadabbur Training for Tahfiz Students at Darul Muttaqien Islamic Boarding School

Ghufron Maksum, Khoirul Muhtadin — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Memorizers of the Qur'an are expected not only to preserve the Qur'anic text accurately but also to understand and internalize its messages through tadabbur (reflective contemplation). However, many tahfiz programs remain predominantly focused on memorization targets, resulting in limited engagement with the meanings and practical application of Qur'anic teachings. This community service program aimed to enhance students' motivation to memorize the Qur'an, introduce a practical tadabbur technique, and strengthen their interaction with the Qur'an. The program was conducted at Darul Muttaqien Islamic Boarding School, Parung, Bogor, involving 180 male students and employing the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The implementation consisted of three stages: needs assessment and planning, a motivational seminar combined with practical tadabbur training, and evaluation through questionnaires, observations, and guided practice. The findings revealed that 80% of participants experienced increased motivation to memorize the Qur'an, 90% reported that the training materials were easy to understand, and 100% considered the program beneficial. Observations further indicated a high level of participant engagement (90%), active group discussions, and good performance during tadabbur practice. The program successfully enabled participants to identify the messages of Qur'anic verses, reflect on their personal lives, and formulate concrete commitments to implement Qur'anic values in daily practice. These findings demonstrate that integrating motivational seminars with practice-oriented tadabbur training provides an effective model for strengthening memorization, comprehension, reflection, and the implementation of Qur'anic values among tahfiz students in Islamic boarding schools.
