Abstract

For the past few years, undoubtedly due to China’s growing economic status, there has been a significant increase in the number of students learning Chinese. As a third language in university curricula in Malaysia, it also enjoys a popularity never seen previously. From the angle of didactics, therefore, it is indeed of particular importance to carry out a multi-perspective research on motivations of Malaysian learners behind choosing Chinese as a foreign language. Based upon our experience, there is a remarkable gender difference in this field. This study examined these differences in motivation for learning Chinese amongst undergraduate students in Malaysia. A representative sample of 75 participants was selected from elementary level Chinese classes at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. Findings of the investigation, based on a questionnaire, were analyzed by the software ‘IBM SPSS Statistics’. The analysis of the data revealed that female participants look at the practicability of the language when learning Chinese, whereas male participants are motivated primarily by their social responsibility and the learning situation. An overall analysis of the variables showed that male participants received a higher mean value in ‘learning situation’ only, and female participants were rather dominant in respect of ‘individual development’, ‘social responsibility’, ‘task value’, ‘information medium’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘intrinsic interest’. Through awareness of these gender-driven differences, both teaching and learning efforts can be optimized in the didactics of Chinese at universities in Malaysia.

Abstract

In the following paper we are going to elaborate on a lately less-researched topic, the language economy, the ever-evolving nature of languages and their pursuit for simplicity. Our analysis conceptualizes how language economy leads to seemingly “ungrammatical” forms that are still widely accepted and used by native speakers, and we discuss the possibility of their inclusion into foreign language teaching. Our data are from the German language; however, in our reasoning for a less “perfect-grammar” centered way of teaching, we are going to use Japanese and Chinese examples as well.

Abstract

A deconstructive analysis of the Narcissus story, particularly in the short story "The Black Goat of Narcissus" by Mukodas Sinatrya, offers a new perspective on how classical mythological narratives can be interpreted in a more modern and complex context. This approach allows readers to connect narrative elements with contemporary issues such as narcissism, self-identity, and the dynamics of human relationships. By conducting a comparative analysis between the original narrative and its modern reinterpretation, this article highlights the use of deconstruction techniques to dismantle and rebuild our understanding of the characteristics of Narcissus and the social and cultural implications of the story. The article explores how the Narcissus story reflects human traits and societal dynamics and serves as a medium for self-reflection and introspection. By delving into themes such as narcissism, egoism, and the complexities of self-identity, this article demonstrates that modern literary works can be essential for understanding and dealing with evolving social and cultural dynamics. Therefore, a deconstructive analysis of the Narcissus story not only yields a deeper understanding of the complexities of human nature and its social consequences but also underscores the relevance of ancient mythological narratives in helping us respond to the challenges of the modern context.

Abstract

Indonesian proverbs represent a form of cultural heritage that embodies societal values, norms, and worldviews. The metaphorical frameworks of these proverbs describe how Indonesians perceive and understand reality. However, the usage of proverbs in teaching Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is still limited. This article examines the metaphorical construction of cultural identity embedded in Indonesian proverbs and investigates their relevance for BIPA instruction, particularly at the intermediate to advanced levels, in fostering cultural literacy and intercultural competence among foreign learners. This study employs a thematic analysis approach to Indonesian proverbs by identifying recurring metaphorical patterns. Categorization is used to better understand the relationship between proverbs and broader Indonesian cultural themes. The research identifies seven key metaphorical domains: (1) family and kinship, (2) nature and the environment, (3) social harmony and collectivity, (4) caution and wisdom, (5) human emotions and interpersonal connections, (6) knowledge and experience, and (7) fate and human limitations. These domains show how abstract cultural values like morality, responsibility, and resilience are understood using concrete and familiar cultural images. Integrating proverbs into the BIPA curriculum can enhance learners’ linguistic competence while deepening their understanding of Indonesian cultural identity. With their clear metaphorical foundations, proverbs can serve as effective pedagogical instruments for linking language, culture, and intercultural understanding in Indonesian language education.
