Abstract

This article explores the impact of Critical Multilingual Literacy Awareness (CMLA) on enhancing critical thinking skills among literature students. By integrating multilingual texts with critical literacy practices, CMLA fosters a more nuanced approach to literary analysis, encouraging students to engage deeply with diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives. The study employs a qualitative case study methodology, involving 30 undergraduate literature students from varied linguistic backgrounds, and utilizes classroom observations, interviews, and written assignments to assess outcomes. Findings reveal significant improvements in students' abilities to conduct comparative analyses, understand contextual nuances, and engage in reflexive thinking. The results underscore the transformative potential of CMLA in literature education, advocating for its broader implementation to cultivate critical thinking and intercultural competence in an increasingly interconnected world. This research not only contributes to the academic discourse on multilingualism in education but also provides practical strategies for educators seeking to enrich their teaching practices.

Abstract

In the digital era, food blogs have emerged as influential platforms for sharing culinary experiences and shaping consumer preferences. This study focuses on Anakjajan.com, a prominent Indonesian food blog, to analyze the persuasive strategies employed in its content and their impact on readers' food literacy. Utilizing Aristotle's modes of persuasion—ethos (credibility), pathos (emotion), and logos (logic)—the research examines how these elements contribute to the blog's effectiveness in influencing food choices. Ethos is established through the author's expertise and authentic reviews, while pathos engages readers with evocative language and appealing visuals. Logos provides factual information about food quality and dining options. A qualitative approach was employed, involving content analysis of blog posts and surveys to assess the influence of these persuasive strategies on readers' decision-making processes. The findings reveal that understanding these modes of persuasion is essential for enhancing digital literacy, as they enable readers to critically evaluate online content and make informed culinary choices.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of David B. Resnik's ethical principles—honesty, objectivity, integrity, carefulness, and openness—in academic writing and research among students. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, surveys and student paper analyses were conducted to measure awareness, adherence, and challenges. The results indicate that 95% of students are aware of general ethical principles in academic writing, yet only 70% are familiar with Resnik’s specific framework, leaving 30% unaware of these detailed concepts. Regarding practice, 100% of respondents consistently cited sources correctly, but 66% admitted to paraphrasing without proper attribution, showing gaps between ethical knowledge and application. Challenges identified include maintaining honesty (51%), avoiding plagiarism (29%), ensuring openness (11%), and minimizing bias (9%), often influenced by external pressures and resource limitations. To address these issues, students suggested practical solutions such as workshops, seminars, and digital guides to enhance understanding and compliance with ethical standards. This study emphasizes the importance of ethics education, institutional policy enhancements, and accessible resources to strengthen the implementation of academic integrity, bridging the gap between awareness and consistent ethical practice.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between financial literacy, consumer communication, and financial decision-making among English Literature students at Universitas Negeri Medan. Using surveys with 40 participants aged 20-24, the research assesses students’ financial literacy levels, preferences for communication formats, and their impact on financial behaviors. Rsults indicate that while most students have a basic understanding of financial concepts, gaps exist in budgeting, selecting financial products, and seeking assistance. Visual formats like videos and infographics are the preferred communication channels, while social media, though widely accessed, often lacks clarity. Only a portion of students applies financial literacy effectively in decision-making, such as evaluating financial products critically or avoiding unnecessary spending. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating tailored financial education programs with effective communication strategies. Enhancing financial literacy through practical and accessible learning methods can empower students to make informed and strategic financial decisions.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of StudyTok, a TikTok-based educational initiative, in fostering media literacy among university students. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were gathered from 40 students to evaluate the platform's impact on engagement, reading comprehension, writing proficiency, and critical thinking. Results revealed that 85% of participants found StudyTok engaging, with notable improvements in reading comprehension (70%) and critical thinking (75%). However, only 60% reported significant enhancement in writing skills, indicating room for more structured content in this area. The study highlights generational differences in platform navigation, with digital natives adapting seamlessly compared to digital immigrants who faced initial challenges. Guided by Potter’s Media Literacy Theory, this research underscores StudyTok’s potential to bridge digital literacy gaps and recommends its integration into educational curricula to foster inclusive, critical media consumption skills.

Abstract

This research explores the role of ethics in cross-cultural translation, focusing on the essential principle of cultural sensitivity in translation work. In an increasingly globalized world, translation not only requires linguistic expertise but also the ability to navigate complex cultural landscapes.

The methodology employed in this study is a comprehensive literature review, synthesizing insights from existing research on translation ethics, social responsibility, and cultural sensitivity. The findings emphasize that ethical translation is not merely about accurate word-for-word translation but involves a deeper awareness of cultural contexts and values. Translators must balance linguistic accuracy with the cultural meanings embedded in the source text, ensuring that the translated work resonates with the target audience while respecting cultural differences.

Abstract

This study examines the rhetorical strategies employed by gubernatorial candidates Edy Rahmayadi and Bobby Nasution during the 2024 North Sumatra election, focusing on their use of ethos, pathos, and logos within Aristotle’s rhetorical framework. The research also compares their rhetorical approaches and evaluates their alignment with ethical communication principles, including transparency, truthfulness, and accountability. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes five campaign speeches from each candidate to identify persuasive strategies, compare their communication styles, and assess their ethical implications. Findings reveal that while both candidates effectively employ rhetorical strategies, their approaches differ significantly. Edy Rahmayadi emphasizes his track record and regional pride, often adopting a defensive tone to address criticisms. Bobby Nasution presents a more inclusive, proactive, and solution-oriented rhetorical style, appealing to optimism and collaboration. Furthermore, Bobby’s speeches align more closely with ethical communication principles through transparent, truthful, and actionable commitments, whereas Edy demonstrates partial alignment, occasionally deflecting responsibility or lacking specificity in his arguments. This research contributes to understanding political rhetoric and its ethical dimensions, offering insights into the interplay between persuasion and ethical leadership in electoral campaigns.
