Abstract

This study examines the representation of Yasuke, a man of African descent who became a samurai under the rule of Oda Nobunaga in the anime Yasuke (2021), produced by Netflix and Studio MAPPA. Although the anime incorporates elements of fantasy and various narrative modifications, the historical core about Yasuke’s existence is documented in several sources, including Shinchōkōki and modern scholarly works (Lockley & Girard, 2019; Fuaddah, 2022; Rundjan, 2015). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with a historical approach comparing empirical data (age, background, and involvement in the Honnō-ji Incident) to the anime’s depiction. The findings indicate that, while there are similarities in the fundamental characterization, such as Yasuke’s physical traits and his relationship with Nobunaga, many additional elements, including robots, magic, and the modified account of Yasuke’s first meeting with Nobunaga, are fictional. Other notable differences emerge in the portrayal of Yasuke’s origins, the setting of his encounter with Nobunaga, and scenes following the Honnō-ji Incident. From a cultural standpoint, such adaptations can introduce Yasuke’s figure to a wide audience, although viewers seeking historical accuracy should consult period documents (such as Shinchōkōki) and modern studies. Hence, this study underscores the importance of distinguishing between historical facts and creative liberties within popular culture adaptations, so as to avoid misconceptions about Yasuke’s figure and Japanese history during Nobunaga’s era.

Abstract

Penelitian ini meneliti lanskap linguistik restoran Jepang di Sun Plaza Medan, dengan fokus pada penggunaan bahasa pada papan nama, menu, dan elemen visual lainnya yang merepresentasikan identitas merek. Lanskap linguistik dianalisis untuk memahami penerapan monolingualisme, bilingualisme, dan multilingualisme dalam konteks komersial. Di Sun Plaza Medan, beberapa restoran Jepang seperti Yoshinoya dan Marugame Udon menampilkan nama-nama merek Jepang, tetapi dengan teks tambahan dalam bahasa Inggris atau Indonesia, yang menunjukkan strategi dwibahasa atau multibahasa untuk menarik pengunjung lokal dan internasional. Sementara beberapa restoran hanya menggunakan bahasa Jepang (monolingual) untuk mempertahankan keaslian budaya, sebagian besar cenderung menggunakan dua bahasa ataupun lebih sebagai bentuk adaptasi. Lanskap linguistik restoran Jepang di Sun Plaza Medan tidak hanya berfungsi untuk menarik pengunjung, tetapi juga sebagai sarana untuk mempertahankan identitas budaya sekaligus memenuhi kebutuhan komersial.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Japanese grammatical and lexical errors in written languages. This study involved 45 nurses from the School of Health Sciences as apprentices to Japan with a 180-word Japanese essay sample based on the Language error definition of Corder (1981) and Weinreich's interference definition (1970). In the process of switching Indonesian into Japanese, errors always occur as they speak. Language learners simply move the grammar rules of Indonesian language into Japanese without thinking about the rules that exist in Japanese. Translating from Indonesian into Japanese, interference is the most powerful factor. When learning Japanese, Indonesian as a mother tongue (B1) is always disruptive, Indonesian language has an influence on grammatical and lexical errors of Japanese written by STIKES nurse of Medistra Lubuk Pakam as apprentices to Japan. Errors made by nurses based on linguistic categories were 33.66% errors in the morphology field, 23.38% syntactic errors and 42.96% errors in the lexical field. Error occurred due to negative transfer.

Abstract

Mirror Beach is one of the potential tourist areas in Serdang Bedagai Regency. As the tourism area is synonymous with tourism, the community service activity in this proposal is to develop English-language tourism jargon in the Al-Hidayah recitation group in Pantai Cermin District, Serdang Bedagai District. Al-Hidayah Study Group consists of mothers who live around the tourist destination, Pantai Cermin. As one of the tourist destinations, this location is often visited by foreign tourists. The mothers who are included in this study group are dominant traders who sell around the beach. However, their ability to communicate in English is still minimal. This is due to the lack of understanding of English and the limited vocabulary in English so that they have difficulty communicating in English. The final goal to be achieved in this service is to increase the ability of mothers to communicate using English. The solution offered is to teach English-language tourism jargon so that their vocabulary increases. And also teaching about simple English so they can use it in daily communication. With increasing vocabulary and understanding of English, it is hoped that they will increase their competence and confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of interactive learning methods; playing, singing, and storytelling in enhancing linguistic intelligence among early childhood learners in English language settings. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and field notes. The findings reveal that interactive methods significantly improve children's engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and ability to construct simple sentences. Activities such as singing and storytelling not only boost verbal responses but also build children's confidence in using English both in and outside the classroom. Parents observed enhanced communication skills and self-confidence at home. Additionally, these methods contributed to cognitive development, fostering critical thinking and creativity. The study concludes that interactive English learning activities are instrumental in fostering linguistic intelligence in early childhood while providing a strong foundation for future academic and communication skills. Recommendations for integrating these methods into preschool curricula are provided, highlighting their potential for global adaptation in early language education.

Abstract

This study examines the linguistic forms and conversational functions of the Tosa dialect as represented in the anime Gintama. Originating from Kochi Prefecture, the Tosa dialect preserves elements of ancient Western Japanese in both phonologu and vocabulary, contributing to its distinct linguistic character. In Gintama, the dialect is used to construct character identity and highlight regional background, particularly for figures modeled after historical personalities from Tosa. Drawing on qualitative and descriptive methods, this study analyzed dialogues spoken by characters who use the Tosa dialect across several episodes. The analysis identifies seventeen dialectal forms, including grammatical variations such as ~yuu , ~chuu, ~ki, and ~jaki, and explores their pragmatic roles in expressing aspect, negation, emphasis, and causality. The findings reveal how dialectial variation contributes to characterization and authenticity in Japanese popular media. Despite notable differences from standard Japanese, the contextual use of the Tosa dialect in Gintama allows viewers to infer meaning and appreciate the cultural and linguistic diversity it represents .
