Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to reveal the relevance of German Christmas cultural representations in Christmas-themed supermarket advertisements as intercultural learning materials. Actual materials that reflect the culture in context are needed so that learners can effectively improve their intercultural understanding. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, content analysis was applied to German supermarket advertisements published in 2024 entitled “Magische Weihnachtszeit” (Lidl) and “Feiert Weihnachten, wie ihr wollt” (Edeka). Both advertisements can be viewed on YouTube, which provides easy access to the video advertisements as learning materials. The selection of Christmas-themed advertisements was based on the similarity between annual celebrations in Germany and Indonesia, namely the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. This similarity makes it easier for learners with an Indonesian cultural background to reflect on cultural perspectives, thus enabling more effective intercultural learning. It was found that the Lidl and Edeka advertisements can be used as alternative culture-based learning materials because they contain cultural representations that can train students' understanding of sociopragmatic and sociolinguistic concepts, cultural practices, and cultural features. According to the CEFR, these concepts are key to intercultural understanding. The results show that Lidl and Edeka advertisements can be used as material for intercultural learning. The German Christmas culture represented in Lidl and Edeka advertisements can help learners, especially those at levels A2 to B2, to strengthen their understanding of the language and culture

Abstract

Social media has become one of the most dominant communication tools, especially among academics. WhatsApp, as one of the most widely used instant messaging platforms, has become an essential means for lecturers and students to interact academically. This paper presents the results of a study aimed at exploring the attitudes and behaviors of students and lecturers in communicating through WhatsApp groups. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method, with a questionnaire instrument distributed online to lecturers and students of the German Literature Department. There were 199 respondents who were willing to fill out the questionnaire. Findings reveal that the types of messages frequently shared in the group are questions about course materials and assignments. A majority of students demonstrate openness and honesty in admitting mistakes, maintain impartiality during non-conducive communication situations, and exhibit high vigilance toward prize offer messages from unknown sources by blocking or rejecting them. However, only a small proportion of users consistently respond to messages sent by other group members in academic WhatsApp groups. There is a notable tendency to avoid direct confrontation to preserve social harmony, which presents an ethical dilemma between openness and maintaining interpersonal relationships.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ challenges in implementing metacognitive strategies in reading authentic German texts at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Employing a qualitative descriptive-exploratory design, the study involved 28 B1-level students from the German Language Education Study Program. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns in students’ experiences. The results indicate that students tend to employ metacognitive strategies: planning, monitoring, and evaluation, intuitively rather than consciously and systematically. Four major challenges were identified: inconsistent use of planning strategies, difficulties in activating prior knowledge, limited vocabulary (Wortschatz), and difficulties in regulating metacognitive strategies. These findings reveal a gap between theoretical expectations of metacognitive strategy use and actual learner practices, particularly when dealing with authentic texts that require higher cognitive processing. These findings suggest that metacognitive strategies need to be taught explicitly and reinforced continuously to foster students’ metacognitive awareness and improve their comprehension of authentic German texts. Practically, the findings highlight the need for a more systematic integration of explicit metacognitive instruction in reading classes, including structured pre-, while-, and post-reading activities, guided reflection, and targeted support for vocabulary development and activation of prior knowledge, in order to help students manage authentic texts more effectively
