“…People are competent because they are empathic, good listeners, and forceful, according to their trait orientation. Since then, studies on the topic have increased, emphasizing a variety of contexts (international student roommates, language education, business, study abroad, higher education, overseas development projects, and so on) and applying a variety of approaches with a range of nomenclature that includes, among other things, appropriateness, effectiveness, and competence ( Martin and Nakayama, 2013 ; Sabet and Chapman, 2023 ).…”

Millions of Indonesian migrant workers have sought employment in Malaysia during the last three decades. Many of them are skilled and unskilled laborers, and their incorporation into the host society’s labor market has the potential to improve their own quality of life while also contributing significantly to the country’s economy. However, Indonesian migrant workers encounter numerous problems in their professional and personal lives. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) factors as one of the Indonesian migrant workers’ strategies. This is qualitative exploratory research on the factors of ICC in the integration of Indonesian migrant workers into the Malaysian labor market. Focus groups were used to obtain data from 16 Indonesian migrant workers who had already successfully integrated into the Malaysian workforce as well as newcomers who were in the process of integrating into the local culture. In addition, interviews have been conducted with the 13 employers to complement the data from the migrant workers. The data was analyzed using rounds of deductive and inductive coding and analysis based on the five components of Byram’s model. The findings suggest that practicing intercultural communication skills can help migrant employees overcome cultural difficulties in the Malaysian labor market. The Indonesian migrant workers and their employers also indicated that they have an advantage in cultural integration due to the cultural similarities. The paper discusses the implications of the findings in terms of ICC training offered to migrant workers themselves (culture and language) and to professionals who work with them, with the goal of facilitating and promoting Indonesian migrant workers’ labor market integration.

“…The curriculum serves as a comprehensive framework that directs and shapes the implementation of education. The presence of an educational curriculum is essential for the educational process to align with the established objectives, since it prevents the process from operating independently (Sabet & Chapman, 2023). The curriculum will delineate the educational procedure implemented and provide insight into the future condition of education.…”

The curriculum is a crucial element in enhancing the quality of education. The curriculum is a cohesive structure consisting of interconnected components that mutually reinforce one other. The curriculum comprises objectives, instructional materials, procedures, and evaluation. Within this system, the curriculum will progress towards an educational objective by collaborative efforts among all of its sub-systems. In the event that one of the curriculum variables malfunctions, the curriculum system will operate at a suboptimal level. Furthermore, the execution of the curriculum necessitated meticulous planning and organization of all its components. Curriculum development aligns the existing curriculum with desired educational objectives, drawing from external and internal influences, in order to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the future. The purpose of this study is to explain the process of developing the curriculum for the Aqidah Akhlak subject, as outlined in the Minister of Religion's Decree (KMA) number 183. This decree pertains to the curriculum for Islamic religious education and Arabic, while KMA number 184 of 2019 provides guidelines for curriculum implementation in madrasas. The aim is to create an innovative curriculum that is legally supported and serves as a framework for development. The features of madrasas include the cultivation of character, the promotion of moral fortitude, the provision of anti-corruption instruction, and the fostering of religious moderation.
