Abstract

Technology and Hybrid Multimedia for Language Learning and Cross-Cultural Communication in Higher Education is a critical component of English language learning. The purpose of this study is to explore technology and hybrid multimedia for language Learning in English language learners (EFL) in higher education. This study aims to explore how cross-cultural communication skills affect learners' technology and hybrid multimedia learning experience and their English proficiency in the context of public university learning. In addition to that, this research uses a case study approach focusing on a group of EFL learners. The data is gathered via comprehensive interviews with EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners to investigate their encounters and perspectives concerning cross-cultural communication. The interviews and observations are examined to identify and analyze the recurring themes. The results of the study revealed that English learners who have good cross-collaborative communication skills tend to have higher English proficiency. The study reveals that cross-communicative communication has a positive influence on English language proficiency, as it allows EFL learners to gain a deep understanding of various languages and cultures, enhancing their ability to interact with people from diverse cultural contexts effectively.

Abstract

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of bullying by applying a semiotic approach to language analysis, aiming to uncover the inherent structures and meanings embedded in the discourse surrounding bullying. Bullying, a pervasive and complex social phenomenon, demands a nuanced examination of the language employed within its context. Employing semiotic analysis and qualitative research methodology, this study seeks to deconstruct the layers of meaning contained in bullying discourse by understanding the signs and symbols inherent in language. The data for this research were sourced from a diverse array of outlets, including everyday conversations related to bullying. The semiotic analysis was then applied to identify and interpret linguistic signs, encompassing words, phrases, and symbols, thereby elucidating the veiled meanings within the discourse of bullying. The results of the analysis illuminate that language in the context of bullying manifests itself through both verbal and non-verbal signs, collectively shaping structures of power and control. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the instrumental role of language as a tool for perpetrating bullying and the intricate process of meaning construction within such contexts. Understanding the dynamics of language in social interactions marked by acts of intimidation and humiliation contributes to a broader comprehension of bullying. Acknowledging the intricacies of language in bullying discourse is pivotal for devising effective strategies to address and counteract this prevalent social issue. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on bullying by underscoring the significance of linguistic analysis in deciphering the layers of meaning within this complex social phenomenon. Ultimately, it calls for a holistic approach that integrates linguistic insights into the broader framework of anti-bullying initiatives, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. AbsrtakPenelitian ini menggali dinamika rumit perundungan dengan menerapkan pendekatan semiotik terhadap analisis bahasa, bertujuan untuk mengungkap struktur dan makna yang melekat dalam wacana seputar perundungan. Perundungan, sebagai fenomena sosial yang kompleks dan meresap, menuntut pemeriksaan yang mendalam terhadap bahasa yang digunakan dalam konteksnya. Dengan menggunakan analisis semiotik dan metodologi penelitian kualitatif, studi ini berusaha mendekonstruksi lapisan-lapisan makna yang terkandung dalam wacana perundungan dengan memahami tanda dan simbol yang melekat dalam bahasa. Data untuk penelitian ini diperoleh dari berbagai sumber, termasuk percakapan sehari-hari yang terkait dengan perundungan. Analisis semiotik kemudian diterapkan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menafsirkan tanda-tanda linguistik, mencakup kata-kata, frasa, dan simbol, sehingga mengungkap makna terselubung dalam wacana perundungan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa bahasa dalam konteks perundungan terwujud melalui tanda verbal dan non-verbal, yang secara kolektif membentuk struktur kekuasaan dan kontrol. Temuan studi ini memberikan wawasan berharga tentang peran instrumental bahasa sebagai alat untuk melakukan perundungan dan proses konstruksi makna yang rumit dalam konteks tersebut. Memahami dinamika bahasa dalam interaksi sosial yang ditandai oleh tindakan intimidasi dan penghinaan berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih luas tentang perundungan. Mengakui kerumitan bahasa dalam wacana perundungan sangat penting untuk merancang strategi yang efektif guna menangani dan melawan isu sosial yang meresap ini. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada wacana yang sedang berlangsung tentang perundungan dengan menekankan pentingnya analisis linguistik dalam menguraikan lapisan makna dalam fenomena sosial yang kompleks ini. Pada akhirnya, penelitian ini menyerukan pendekatan holistik yang mengintegrasikan wawasan linguistik ke dalam kerangka inisiatif anti-perundungan yang lebih luas, mendorong pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang fenomena ini.

Abstract

In terms of anthropological linguistics, the study aims to explore the interaction of language, culture and cognitive tendencies in the community of Kajang. It particularly looks into the traditional oral expressions (kelong) of the community, including Kelong Basing Rikong, Lok-lok, and Ati-ati Raja, as their understandings of life, death, spirituality, and social values are expressed. A qualitative ethnolinguistic approach, informed by anthropological linguistics, was used in this study. Data collection methods included field observations, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders (Ammatoa), cultural practitioners and community elders, and a documentary analysis of oral texts, especially Kelong. These vocal statements were captured, transcribed and analyzed thematically focusing on spiritual concepts, cultural references and metaphoric expression. The interpretative frameworks of Duranti (2010) were employed to find out the effect of language on thought and on the transmission of cultural values. Beyond the communicative function of the Kelong, the results demonstrate that language is a cognitive framework which affects and organizes the Kajang people's knowledge of abstract concepts and ideas, such as concepts of mortality and moral behaviour. A good example of such abstraction of metaphysical concepts into collective cognition was seen in the form of Paklengukia, which metaphorically represented the boundary between the real and the afterlife. Further, cultural values of humility (longgangi lino...) and social hierarchy (uni-uni patang pulo) are expressed in terms of language, clearly defining its role as a carrier of cultural transmission. Oral traditions of the Kajang community contain a strong expression of their spirituality and the language used is indeed very strong, it is stated in the study.
