Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using blended-learning instruction in improving students’ communication skills at Sekolah Vokasi Universitas Gadjah Mada. They were required to take the Test of English for Vocational Students (TEVOCS) and it indicated that there was a gap between listening and speaking ability as presented in the test scores. To support the improvement of both skills, blended-learning instruction was designed and carried out in the forms of online listening activities via Online Listening for Individual Practice (OLIVE) website and offline meeting for speaking activities. The research used experimental research, which referred to the results of pre-test and post-test scores of the group. The participants of the research were 275 students from three departments of Sekolah Vokasi Universitas Gadjah Mada; Language, Arts, and Cultural Management department; Engineering department; as well as Economic and Business department academic year 2019/2020. The pre-test and post-test scores show improvement in students’ performance in both skills. The result of the t-test also shows that there is significant improvement after the application of blended-learning instruction.

Abstract

This research aimed to form a collaborative research and research group in the Department of Languages, Arts and Culture Management, Vocational College of Universitas Gadjah Mada (Departemen Bahasa, Seni, dan Manajemen Budaya or DBSMB). This research is essential for considering DBSMB’s needs in developing applied products as a result of interdisciplinary research. On a broader scale, vocational education institutions outside UGM can see an overview of the multidisciplinary research process that has been carried out. The research group was formed in the Culture and Tourism Center, which was based on a functional perspective of organizational functions. The exploratory method was carried out by observation, interview, and literature study. Interviews were conducted with informants consisting of the head of the Teaching Industry Learning Center (TILC), head of study programs, secretary of study programs, and lecturers at DBSMB. The results showed that each lecturer at DBSMB had different research interests. Lecturers’ research interests had several intersections that could be made into collaborative research groups. The central theme of culture and tourism could accommodate research collaborations from lecturers in the study programs of Record Management, English, Tourism, Korean Language, and Japanese Language. The challenges in the formation of the research group came from internal factors (communication, funding, and infrastructure) and external factor (collaboration with industry, policy differences, administrative procedures, and interests in research). This research was expected to contribute to the formation of a research group in other vocational education institutions and affect the improvement of vocational graduates’ quality and scientific development.

Abstract

Abstract. The portrayal of gender in advertising has a significant impact on societal gender norms and roles. This study analyses gender portrayals in TikTok advertisements for various products and services. A random sample of 1000 TikTok advertisements for food and beverages, fashion, technology, and finance in the English language was examined. The investigation assessed the gender, functions, and commercial language of characters. The study employed corpus and quantitative analysis. AntConc corpus analysis software was used to capture the data. The research discovered that Indonesian online marketing perpetuates gender stereotypes, specifically by depicting women as passive houseworkers. However, masculine characters were frequently portrayed as aggressive and dominant. The gender representation of products and services varied. Even in English advertisements, the findings shed light on the complexities of gender portrayal in Indonesian internet marketing. Advertisements narrated in English may reflect more egalitarian attitudes on the part of ad creators, but male and female roles continue to imply gender inequality. This highlights the importance of gender equality in online marketing awareness and partnership in Indonesia. To promote diversity and gender equality across all product categories, advertisers and corporations must analyze their promotional language thoroughly. This study also highlights the need for larger sample sizes and additional data in order to completely comprehend gender representation patterns in Indonesian online marketing. The study emphasizes the significance of combating gender stereotypes and promoting gender equality and diversity in global media. Keywords: English, Gender Representation, Online Advertisement, Corpus Analysis, Tiktok

Abstract

This study aims to map and interpret the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and research trends at the intersection of applied linguistics and public relations over the past decade. The primary objective is to identify key authors, influential sources, dominant themes, and methodological shifts that characterize this emerging interdisciplinary field. Bibliometric data were retrieved from the Scopus database, covering peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2016 and 2025 that explicitly address both applied linguistics and public relations. Using Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix) for performance indicators, collaboration networks, thematic maps, and keyword co-occurrence, and NVivo 12 for qualitative content analysis, this study integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of the field’s evolution. The results reveal a significant increase in publication output and thematic diversification, indicating rapid intellectual growth. Five dominant thematic clusters were identified: AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Digital and Social Media Communication, Health Communication, Discourse and Organizational Communication, and Cross-Cultural Communication. A strong methodological shift toward computational linguistics, big data analytics, and sentiment analysis is evident, accompanied by growing attention to ethics, transparency, and trust in digital public discourse. Emerging frontiers include AI-driven communication modeling, crisis discourse in digital media, multilingual brand communication, and ethnolinguistic perspectives on organizational trust.
