Abstract

Indigenous languages have been shown to play a crucial role in preserving ecological knowledge, cultural memory, and community identity. However, the semantic dimensions through which environmental knowledge is encoded in many indigenous languages remain underexplored, particularly in underrepresented Austronesian languages such as Sasak. The specific aims of this study are threefold: first, to identify the semantic categories of environmental concepts; second, to examine the conceptual metaphors underlying indigenous ecological knowledge; and third, to explain how these semantic structures reflect Sasak cultural cognition and identity. The present research employed a qualitative descriptive method within an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected from 25 native Sasak speakers selected through purposive sampling from East, Central, and West Lombok. The data comprised environmental vocabulary, proverbs, folklore narratives, oral traditions, and customary expressions gathered through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis. The findings reveal that environmental knowledge in the Sasak language is organised into five interconnected semantic domains: water resources, landscapes, flora, fauna, and environmental processes. Of these domains, the water-related domain is particularly prominent, reflecting the ecological and cultural significance of water in Sasak society. The study further identifies several conceptual metaphors in which environmental phenomena function as source domains for abstract cultural meanings, including social harmony as ecological balance, causes as natural forces, and human identity as a rooted tree. These metaphorical structures illustrate how environmental observations are transformed into cognitive models for interpreting social relationships, moral values, and collective responsibilities. Furthermore, the analysis of environmental concepts embedded in proverbs, folklore, and cultural narratives reveals shared conceptualisations that emphasise harmony, interdependence, environmental stewardship, and communal identity.

Abstract

The integration of local cultural knowledge into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has received increasing attention as an approach to creating more meaningful, relevant, and learner-centered educational experiences. This study aimed to investigate the effects of integrating Sasak local wisdom-based learning materials on students’ self-directed learning and to explore students’ perceptions regarding how such materials influenced their engagement and learning experiences in EFL contexts. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative phase investigated the influence of Sasak local wisdom-based learning materials on students’ self-directed learning through questionnaires, while the qualitative phase explored students’ perceptions through semi-structured interviews. The study involved 89 second-year students from the Undergraduate Computer Science Program of Bumigora University, Mataram, selected through total sampling, with 50 students in the experimental group and 39 in the control group. Twelve students were purposively selected for the interview phase based on their questionnaire responses. The quantitative findings showed that students in the experimental group achieved a higher self-directed learning score (M = 84.70) compared to the control group (M = 62.72). The independent samples t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (p < .05), indicating the positive effect of Sasak local wisdom-based learning materials on students’ self-directed learning. The qualitative findings further revealed that students perceived the materials as enhancing their learning autonomy, motivation, cultural identity, and engagement in independent English learning activities. These findings suggest that culturally responsive EFL materials can serve as an effective pedagogical approach to empowering learners while connecting global English competence with local cultural values.

Abstract

This study examines how perceived cultural sustainability explains green customer engagement ineco-friendly hotels by considering green brand love and cultural identity strength. The study addresses the need for a culturally grounded explanation of green hospitality engagement in island destinations where environmental practices intersect with local culture and identity. A quantitative explanatory design was applied to domestic tourists who had experienced eco-friendly hotel services in Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara. Using purposive sampling, 300 valid responses were analyzed. The constructs were measured using seven-point Likert scales, and the data were analyzed using a two- stage CB-SEM procedure with AMOS. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the measurement model, while path analysis with mean-centered interaction terms was used to test direct, mediating, and moderating effects. The findings show that perceived cultural sustainability has a significant direct effect on green customer engagement but does not significantly influence green brand love. Green brand love strongly influences green customer engagement, indicating that emotional attachment remains an important driver of engagement. The mediation effect of green brand love is therefore not the main mechanism linking perceived cultural sustainability and green customer engagement. However, cultural identity strength significantly strengthens the relationship between perceived cultural sustainability and green brand love. This study contributes by showing that cultural sustainability shapes engagement more directly, while cultural identity helps transform cultural sustainability cues into brand affection.

Abstract

Siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan membutuhkan kompetensi bahasa Inggris praktis untuk mendukung kesiapan kerja, kelanjutan studi, dan akses terhadap peluang berbasis sertifikasi. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini berfokus pada pelatihan persiapan TOEIC sebagai strategi untuk memperkuat kesiapan bahasa Inggris vokasional siswa pada sembilan sekolah mitra, yaitu SMKN 1 Lembar, SMKN 1 Narmada, SMKN 1 Mataram, SMKN 2 Mataram, SMKN 3 Mataram, SMKN 4 Mataram, SMKN 6 Mataram, SMKN 2 Kuripan, dan SMKPP Negeri Mataram. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman siswa terhadap format TOEIC, strategi pengerjaan tes, serta keterampilan bahasa Inggris yang berkaitan dengan tugas menyimak dan membaca. Program dilaksanakan melalui delapan sesi pelatihan terstruktur dengan pendekatan Presentation–Practice–Production, games, diskusi kelompok, latihan terbimbing, serta evaluasi pre-test dan post-test berbasis TOEIC-like test. Sebanyak 450 siswa mengikuti post-test. Hasil deskriptif menunjukkan adanya peningkatan rata-rata skor dari 297 pada pre-test menjadi 318 pada post-test, dengan kenaikan sebesar 7,1%. Berdasarkan perubahan skor individual, 248 siswa mengalami peningkatan skor, 151 siswa mengalami penurunan, 10 siswa berada pada skor tetap, dan 41 siswa dikategorikan sebagai N/A. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan TOEIC yang terstruktur dapat mendukung kesiapan bahasa Inggris vokasional siswa dan menyediakan model pelatihan yang dapat direplikasi oleh sekolah untuk persiapan sertifikasi bahasa Inggris berikutnya.
