Abstract

This research explores the role of multilingualism in enriching the language experiences of K-pop fans. The study is driven by the need to understand how multilingual interactions among fans and idols contribute to language acquisition, emotional engagement, and cultural exchange within fandom communities. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, focusing on fans from the LUNÉ and ARMY fandoms. This study addresses the gap in previous research, which rarely examines fans' emotional and social experiences with multilingual content. Findings reveal that multilingualism not only motivates fans to learn languages such as Korean, Japanese, and English but also enhances their engagement in transnational fan communities. Fans actively participate in code-switching, use translation tools, and engage in multilingual conversations on platforms like WhatsApp, Weverse, and Twitter. The research concludes that multilingualism significantly shapes fans’ linguistic practices, strengthens emotional bonds with idols, and promotes meaningful cross-cultural communication. These findings underscore the educational and social value of multilingualism within global fandoms, positioning it as a powerful driver of informal language learning.

Abstract

Diglossia is a phenomenon in sociolinguistics that means the use of two language variants with different social functions, where the two language variants are divided into high language (H) and low language (L). This has a significant impact in education, where initial observations found a comprehension gap in bilingual students. This article aims to explore the role of diglossia in an educational context, focusing on the challenges and opportunities it raises in the teaching and learning process. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature study methods and interviews with educators and students in one of the Islamic boarding schools in Batang Hari who experience the phenomenon of diglossia. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify the role of diglossia in understanding teaching materials, as well as strategies that can be applied to minimize communication barriers in the teaching and learning process. The results of the study show that diglossia can function as a language enrichment tool, but it can also lead to gaps in understanding if not managed with the right strategy.
