Arabic plays an important role in the history of education in Indonesia and must remain as focus of attention. Arabic language learning at MTs under the Ministry of Religious Affairs needs to be well-integrated into the existing curriculum, so that it is relevant to the values promoted by the current vision of Indonesian Education, especially the Pancasila Student Profile which focuses on building the character of students. However, in practice, Arabic language teaching materials at MTs are not fully connected to these values. For this reason, efforts are needed to test the feasibility of one of the teaching materials. In this context, the researcher chose the teaching material "al-Muthalaah" by Abu Abdurrohman to test its feasibility for the Pancasila Student Profile. Exploratory descriptives will be used in this feasibility test with the Miles and Huberman model data analysis technique. The validation test was carried out by two experts, including a material expert and a media expert. The validation test results show that al-Muthalaah's teaching materials received an average score of 87.75% and were categorized as extremely valid by material experts. The aspect of the relevance of teaching materials to the Pancasila Student Profile also received a high score with 95%. However, media experts gave an average score of 80% with the category being sufficiently valid and requiring slight revision. This shows that Al-Muthala'ah teaching materials were declared feasible and relevant to be applied in Arabic language learning at MTs. So that it can become practical material for aligning ourselves with the vision promoted by the government and also helps students understand and internalize the values that support their interactions with the surrounding environment.

Bilingualism happens not only orally but also in written Indonesian articles. Usually, the articles use Indonesian and English terms. Bilingualism even can be seen in the articles’ titles. One of the fields that often use bilingual terms is found in Mechanical Engineering's articles. It happens because mechanical engineering has specialized terminology that sometimes untranslated into Indonesian terms. Many Indonesian experts have translated many English books with many variations of translation results. Therefore, the translation results are still questioned whether they are acceptable or not in Indonesian. This study aims to examine the factors of bilingualisms by observing titles of articles and finding the translation methods to translate the terminology from English to Indonesian. This study was qualitative research; by using questionnaires and observation, the research reveals that the main factor is untranslatability, where the English terminology cannot find its equivalent meaning in Indonesian. By using Molina and Albir's translation techniques, researchers reveal that the English terminologies can be translated in Indonesian using (1) amplification, (2) borrowing, (3) established equivalence, (4) calque, and (5) literal translation. This study concludes that the untranslatability problem can be solved when the experts try to use the accepted translation results rather than using English terms.

The theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) states that human intelligence is composed of different types of intelligences and that each individual possesses all of them but to a different degree. The main objective of this research was to examine how the Theory of Multiple Intelligences was addressed in a seventh-grade Arabic-language textbook at the intermediate-level in Jordan and determine Arabic-language teachers' level of knowledge of applying the Theory of Multiple Intelligences in textbooks. The study used the survey method and analytical descriptive approach via content analysis and coding MI indicators in the textbook to examine the representation of MI in the textbook examined. The sample was composed of all units of a seventh-grade Arabic-language textbook. A questionnaire was distributed to 130 Arabic-language teachers. The study includes eight of the Intelligences from Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory. The analysis found that the intelligences represented in the texts, activities, and exercises of the Arabic-language textbook were mostly Verbal/Linguistic, Visual/Spatial and Interpersonal intelligences, with a combined percentage of 73%. The other 27% was shared between the other intelligence types: Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Logical/Mathematical, Bodily/Kinesthetic, and Musical intelligences. A moderated awareness on how to incorporate the theory of MI in Arabic-language textbooks was found among Arabic-language teachers, which means that teachers' understanding of the importance of including MI theory in the textbook needs reinforcement and improvement. The study suggests that further research on incorporating the Theory of MI in textbooks is needed.

This study endeavors to explore the experiences of 12 English language teachers in designing and writing their English language teaching (ELT) textbooks in a Thai university. Through an in-depth semi-structured individual interview (IDI) and a focus group discussion (FGD), results from interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) revealed that although these teachers faced a number of pedagogical issues and challenges, they still held a positive perception toward writing their ELT textbooks. They believed that writing teaching materials for their classes not only helps them address their learners’ language needs but also enhances their experiences as teachers. Thus, drawing on Tomlinson’s notion on the significance of personalizing and localizing ELT textbooks to maximize students’ learning, this article argues that writing a textbook for classroom use is teachers’ pedagogical reflective practice that allows them to provide their students with suitable activities and lessons for effective language teaching and learning. Implications of the findings are discussed, and recommendations are offered.
