The method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative with note-taking technique. The research data is formed of vocabulary in BMR and BS obtained from various written sources and informant interviews. Based on 200 Swadesh words for BMR and BS, there are 12,5%, namely 25 identical pairs words.

The results of the study found that the percentage of kinship between the two languages ??was 29% which indicated that the BMR and BS were the languages ??of the family from one family (stock).BMR and BS are thought to be the same prelanguage around 2,856 years ago and are estimated to have started to separate from their parent languages ??in 833 BC (calculated in 2023)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation of online English learning in tourism schools in Bali, focusing on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with its execution. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study involved four English lecturers from four different tourism schools in Bali. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and literature reviews. The analysis revealed that online English learning was conducted using the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) framework, tailored to the tourism and hospitality sectors. The implementation involved various platforms, including Zoom Meeting, WhatsApp, and other digital tools. Strengths identified included the flexibility of time and space, allowing both lecturers and students to access learning materials from any location at any time. The availability of diverse online platforms provided lecturers with the ability to customize their teaching methods effectively. However, weaknesses covered technical issues, including inadequate devices and unstable internet connections, posed significant challenges. The study also highlighted the opportunities presented by the increasing digital literacy of students and the proliferation of online learning platforms, which facilitated a more interactive and engaging learning experience. Nonetheless, threats included low public awareness, particularly among parents, and varying levels of digital proficiency among lecturers, which impacted the overall effectiveness of online instruction. The findings underscore the need for enhanced support structures and training to optimize online English learning in tourism education.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze how Western memes were used as an innovative medium for teaching English grammar in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. The study addressed the limited empirical synthesis on multimodal, humor-based resources for grammar teaching in digital learning environments. Using a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA protocol, twenty five empirical articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected from Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and ERIC databases. The review showed that meme based grammar instruction increased students’ motivation and emotional engagement and reduced learning anxiety through the integration of humor, visual supports, and culturally relevant content. The use of memes also fostered active participation and a more democratic classroom climate. However, the findings revealed age related differences: younger learners were more enthusiastic and readily aligned with meme culture, whereas older learners required clearer explanations of cultural references to benefit optimally. Overall, the synthesis indicated that Western memes were effective in enhancing grammatical understanding and long-term retention when implemented consistently and integrated with explicit instructional activities. These results suggested that memes could function not merely as entertainment but as a meaningful pedagogical tool that connects cognitive, affective, and social dimensions in English language learning. Implications for teachers and curriculum designers include the need to select culturally accessible memes and to scaffold their use with clear linguistic objectives
