Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technology has transformed foreign language learning, presenting both opportunities and challenges in understanding language meaning and cultural nuances. This qualitative study explores the role of digital media in the foreign language learning process through the lens of language philosophy, particularly Wittgenstein's language games and Searle's pragmatic theory. Data collected from 20 English education students through interviews and observations highlight the benefits of digital platforms such as Duolingo and YouTube in simplifying linguistic structures and facilitating interactive learning. However, respondents noted limitations in cultural depth and contextual nuance, reflecting the constraints of digital tools in conveying idiomatic expressions and non-verbal cues. The findings underscore the dual nature of digital media as both a facilitator and a constraint in language learning. While virtual platforms like Zoom enhance accessibility and collaborative learning, they often lack the emotional and cultural richness of face-to-face interactions. Respondents expressed optimism about future technologies, envisioning personalized learning environments driven by AI and immersive cultural experiences through virtual reality.The study emphasizes the need for educators to integrate project-based and interactive strategies that balance digital innovation with cultural and contextual engagement. For developers, the findings suggest a focus on adaptive technologies that simulate real-world linguistic and cultural interactions. These insights contribute to understanding language as a social construct mediated by technology, offering practical and theoretical pathways for advancing foreign language education in the digital age.

Abstract

The era of globalization is characterized by a very tight level of competition so that companies are required to have the ability to develop strategic choices in the field of marketing management and be able to adapt to the business environment. In an effort to win increasingly fierce competition, companies must be able to create marketing that suits the needs of consumers in modern society. Currently, there are many negative impacts on the environment due to consumption patterns and the rapid development of technology and the economy, resulting in the birth of many products that are not environmentally friendly. One of the causes is the large amount of plastic waste in the environment which has a negative impact on climate change, water and air pollution. The problem is, this increasing growth is not accompanied by poor processing of plastic bottle waste which will have an impact on environmental damage in the future because every year it increasingly accumulates and is not recycled. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research which aims to analyze the influence of green marketing, ecolabel awareness, green brand image, and green trust on Aqua Life product purchasing decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of halal labeling and brand image on purchase decisions of local skincare products, with price as a moderating variable. In recent years, the halal cosmetics industry in Indonesia has experienced rapid growth, driven by increasing awareness among Muslim consumers regarding the importance of halal-certified products. Wardah, as a pioneering local halal cosmetic brand, serves as a compelling case study due to its success in combining religious values with modern marketing strategies. This research adopts a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), involving 190 respondents aged 15–45 who have previously used Wardah products. The results reveal that brand image and price significantly influence purchase decisions, whereas halal labeling does not have a direct significant impact. Interestingly, price is found to strengthen the effect of brand image on purchase decisions but weaken the effect of halal labeling. These findings suggest that in the context of modern consumers particularly younger generations perceived value and brand positioning play a more dominant role than religious certification alone. Therefore, companies need to develop a balanced strategy that emphasizes strong brand identity, competitive pricing, and effective communication to reinforce the appeal of halal products in the market.
