Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology and social media has encouraged Generation Z to actively engage in creative writing activities across various online platforms. However, limited awareness of legal boundaries in digital content creation may expose students to risks related to copyright infringement, plagiarism, defamation, hate speech, and the dissemination of false information.

Abstract

Village tourism activists play a direct role as the front line in providing experiences to tourists. Therefore, good communication skills are a crucial factor in creating a positive impression and increasing tourist satisfaction. Based on the results of a preliminary survey conducted by the Community Service team of the English Literature Study Program, FKIP, Dehasen University Bengkulu, it is known that Belitar Seberang Tourism Village has begun to receive foreign tourists, although the number is not yet significant. The survey results also show that most village tourism activists still have limitations in using spoken English. These limitations include difficulty in greeting tourists, explaining tourist attractions, and providing basic information related to tourist facilities and activities. This condition causes the interaction process to not run optimally and has the potential to reduce the quality of tourism services. In addition to language skills, effective and tourist-friendly communication patterns also need to be improved. The results of the activities show that the non-formal socialization and contextual learning approaches carried out directly at tourist sites are effective in improving basic English for Hospitality communication skills. Village tourism activists are able to use simple expressions to greet tourists, provide brief information about tourist attractions, and offer assistance with more confidence. These findings indicate that field-based learning is more easily accepted and applied by participants than formal training approaches.

Abstract

This study analyzes the types of swear words and the social values reflected in the dialogue of Venom 3: The Last Dance. The topic is significant because swear words in films do not merely operate as offensive expressions; they may also reveal emotions, interpersonal relations, and the psychological pressure experienced by characters. A descriptive qualitative design was applied. The data consisted of film dialogues containing swear words, collected through documentation by repeatedly watching the movie, checking subtitles, recording relevant utterances, and classifying them using Pinker's typology of swear words and Schwartz's theory of social values. The findings identified 25 utterances containing swear words. Three categories appeared: 14 cathartic swear words, 9 abusive swear words, and 2 emphatic swear words, while dysphemistic and idiomatic swear words were not found. The social-value analysis identified security in 15 data, power in 7 data, conformity in 2 data, and benevolence in 1 data. Security was the most dominant value because most utterances occurred in situations involving threats, danger, panic, and uncertainty. The findings indicate that swearing in the film is primarily a spontaneous pragmatic response to emotional and situational pressure rather than a simple marker of impoliteness. Thus, swear words function as meaningful linguistic signs that express emotion, intensify meaning, and reflect social values within cinematic interaction.

Abstract

Animated films are recognized as powerful media for conveying moral values, yet the ways these values are embedded in visual and verbal signs remain underexplored. This study analyzes the film Luca (2021) by Pixar Animation Studios, which portrays themes of friendship, identity, and courage. This study aims to identify the moral values in the film based on Thomas Lickona’s (1991) character education theory and to analyze how those values are represented through signs using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory (1972, 1977). This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data consist of selected scenes and dialogues analyzed through Barthes’ two levels of signification: denotation and connotation. The findings reveal seven moral values: honesty, empathy and kindness, moral courage, self-control, respect, responsibility, and cooperation. These values are conveyed through signs that operate literally at the denotative level and carry deeper emotional, cultural, and social meanings at the connotative level. This study concludes that Luca (2021) functions as a meaningful medium for moral education and character building, with direct implications for the use of animated film in character education.

Abstract

Enggano and Mentawai are languages of the barrier islands off the western coast of Sumatra, yet the extent of their phonological relationship remains insufficiently defined. This study examines their phonological relationship and associated cultural correspondence, with particular attention to nasal sounds. A qualitative descriptive design was combined with an ethnolinguistic field approach. The linguistic data consist of a 200-item Swadesh list in Enggano and Mentawai and ten supplementary items selected to examine nasal realizations. Recordings and lexical data were organized through ELAN and FLEx, while representative sound segments were inspected with Praat and the lexical relationship was calculated lexicostatistically. The analysis identifies 36 cognate items from the 200-word comparison, producing a cognate percentage of 18%, which places the relationship in the stock/group range used in the study. Nasal realizations also show systematic differences, with Enggano displaying stronger nasal correspondence with adjacent vowels than Mentawai. Culturally, both communities retain ancestral-spirit traditions and subsistence practices, although their kinship systems differ. The findings indicate relatedness without dialectal identity and underline the distinctiveness of Enggano within the western Sumatran barrier-island linguistic setting.
