Abstract

The diversity of society in Indonesia produces differences, especially in dialects.  Dialect is a variety of languages that arises due to cultural background and the region where dialect speakers live. The Javanese dialect is famous because it has distinctive differences in intonation, language strata, and also varied accents. The pronunciation of the Javanese dialect emphasizes certain letters or what is usually called medok.  In this study, the author discusses the difficulties of ethnic Javanese students in the Department of Chinese Language and Culture at Universitas Sebelas Maret in pronouncing Mandarin vocabulary. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation methods and related literature studies. This research aims to provide an overview of the difficulties faced by Javanese ethnic students in pronouncing Mandarin vocabulary. This study found that the Javanese dialect can influence the pronunciation of Mandarin vocabulary spoken by Javanese students. By conducting this research, the author hopes that this research can provide a new perspective for readers, especially Javanese ethnic students studying Mandarin.

Abstract

Today advances in technology and human intelligence have made many countries flock to increase their soft power in the international arena. The Chinese government is no exception, actively trying to increase soft power through various programs. One of these efforts can be seen with the establishment of the Confucius Institute. China founded the Confucius Institute to promote Chinese language and culture abroad. These efforts include spreading the Mandarin language, holding cultural exhibitions, and collaborating academically with various countries. This research aims to analyze the Confucius Institute's role in increasing China's soft power. This research uses a qualitative approach by collecting and evaluating data through supporting literature, including academic journal articles and investing news. The Confucius Institute effectively increases the general public's understanding of China. However, there are concerns that Confucius Institutes exist to influence the political views and foreign policies of host countries. Overall, the Confucius Institute is essential to China’s cultural diplomacy efforts, but its approach must maintain a balance between cultural promotion and sensitivity to host country contexts.
