Abstract

The research probed the cross-cultural adaptation of international students who participated in the Darmasiswa program in Indonesia. They have various cultural backgrounds; they lived in Java and interacted with Javanese cultures. The Darmasiswa students’ varied experiences brought particular attention to their competence to adapt to a host country. This study aims to discover how Darmasiswa students overcome the assimilation process, embrace the psychological elements of intercultural communication, and how they handle the adaptation process. It also seeks to discover the efforts to make this program successful and recognise how the participants deal with the challenges of adapting to the local culture. This study used a descriptive qualitative method and employed an in-depth interview to approach the research participants. The participants came from Myanmar, Japan, Singapore, India, Hungaria, Timor Leste, and Thailand. They joined the Darmasiswa program in 2019 to study and learn bahasa Indonesia, the arts, and the cultures. They studied at four universities in Semarang for one year in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Findings showed that the Darmasiswa students’ adaptation and interaction processes were varied. The culture shock experienced by the students were influenced by their family value from their home countries. Internal and external factors played an essential role in influencing the success of the Darmasiswa students’ adaptation. The factors include; communication system, symbolic interaction, social life, personal mindset, the host society's motivation, and the Darmasiswa students’ involvement with the host country’s cultural activities. Those factors affected the students' adaptation levels and learning achievement in the program.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Listening comprehension is one of the understandings that requires high understanding and repetition to understand the topic being heard. However, it is rarely reviewed in schools because, in its implementation, schools must have adequate facilities. The purpose of this study is to determine students' listening comprehension before and after treatment using ESL podcasts by Jeff McQuillan to determine whether or not the use of ESL podcasts effectively improves listening comprehension. This quantitative research method used one group of pre-test and post-test samples (34 students) in eleventh-grade SMA Kesatrian 1 Semarang. To test the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of podcasts, researchers used the t-test. As secondary data, there was an open questionnaire regarding supporting and inhibiting factors in listening learning. The results showed that ESL podcasts were effective in improving listening comprehension. This was obtained from the pre-test (M = 42.3529) and post-test (M = 75.0000) with Sig. (2-tailed) ,000 <0.05 based on the t-test decision-making shows significance if < 0.05.Moreover, the results of the questionnaire, 27 students felt that their listening comprehension had improved, and seven students felt an increase in listening comprehension. The highest factor supporting listening learning is focus, and the highest inhibiting factor is the lack of vocabulary. Keywords: ESL Podcast, Listening Comprehension, English Learning

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine the significant difference in improving students' reading comprehension before and after being taught using the Cornell Note-Taking method. This type of research is quantitative research using a quasi-experimental research design. This study sampled 62 of 287 students. Researchers collected data with pre-and post-tests. The test is multiple-choice with recount text material. The analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. After using Cornell Note-Taking, the experimental class scored 61.03 on the pre-test and 76.52 on the post-test, a 15.49 increase. Without treatment, the control class scored 54.32 pre-test and 67.87 post-test, a 13.55 increase. Experimental class scores were higher. Meanwhile, through the Independent Samples T-test, the T-test sig. (2-tailed) shows 0.000 < 0.050, which means Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. On the other hand, the result of the t-table test using a significance level of 5%, the resulting t-test value is greater than the t-table (5.410 > 1.670). The resulting p-value of 0.000 is smaller than the significance level of 0.050, so the results of applying the Cornell Note-Taking method are proven effective and can improve students' reading comprehension skills.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the pejorative words in @detiknews’ comments and hate speech targets. This study was qualitative research, specifically descriptive content analysis. The researchers took the data from Indonesian comments in eighteen news of @detiknews’ Instagram account. The researchers used MAXQDA to show the results of the coding process. The study has found seven categories of Thurlow: social personality, uncategorized, top-5, racist, homophobic, phallocentric, and physicality. In this study, pejorative words were in the standard and non-standard Indonesian, local languages (Javanese, Betawi), vulgar slang, and animal metaphors. The study has classified pejorative words (Thurlow, 2001) as directed or generalized hate speech (Elsherief et al., 2018). The findings show that directed speech was a personal matter. To sum up, pejorative words indicating hate speech in Indonesia are not randomly used; it intends to show the users’ disagreement toward the publisher or another user’s comment: it is addressed explicitly to either directed or generalized targets.
