Abstract

Eighth-grade EFL students often struggle with narrative writing due to unstructured ideas, limited vocabulary, and disengagement with traditional teaching methods. To address this, the study explores the use of comic strips as a visual and interactive instructional tool to enhance narrative writing skills. This quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. Sixty purposively selected students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught narrative writing using comic strips, while the control group received conventional instruction. A 20-item narrative writing test was administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed through validity and reliability checks, tests for normality and homogeneity, and hypothesis testing using either an independent t-test or Mann–Whitney U test, depending on the data distribution. The experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in narrative writing performance, particularly in idea development, coherence, and creativity. The control group displayed only marginal progress. These results suggest that comic strips effectively support the organization of narrative structure and enhance expression. The findings underscore the pedagogical value of comic strips as a multimodal instructional medium. Their visual nature facilitates idea generation and supports narrative coherence, leading to more confident and creative student writing. Comic strips can be a valuable addition to EFL writing instruction. Teachers are encouraged to integrate this medium to improve students’ narrative writing skills and overall engagement.

Abstract

Pendekatan deeplearning telah diterapkan dalam pembelajaran di sekolah dasar dan menengah, sejak awal tahun ajaran 2025. Penerapan pendekatan tersebut didasarkan pada potensi manfaat yang besar akan hasil belajar yang meningkatkan keterampilan global yang dikenal dengan 6C. Pada awal-awal penerapannya para guru bahasa Jepang yang tergabung dalam Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) Jakarta belum memiliki pemahaman yang cukup tentang deep learning dan tentang penerapannya dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang. Kegiatan pengabdian bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan (skills) dari para guru peserta. Kegiatan ini berbentuk seminar dan workshop, berlangsung pada 11 Agustus 2025 bertempat di Universitas Negeri Jakarta. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 36 guru bahasa Jepang. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah peserta mendapatkan informasi pembelajaran mendalam serta terbentuknya modul pembelajaran (RPP) bahasa Jepang yang telah memuat komponen-komponen yang diperlukan sesuai dengan pembelajaran mendalam. Serta telah dapat memasukkan prinsip deeplearning dalam langkah pembelajaran yang direncanakan.

Abstract

Learning kanji in Japanese is often a major challenge for learners, primarily due to visual complexity, the large number of characters, and differences in reading methods (onyomi and kunyomi). The advent of smartphone applications has revolutionized language learning, offering innovative solutions to address these challenges. The "Kore wa Nani" application, featuring a widget for quick access to kanji reading exercises based on the Basic Kanji Book Vol. II, represents one such tool tailored for learners. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the "Kore wa Nani" application as a learning medium for reading kanji in the Kanji II course at the Japanese Language Education Program, Universitas Negeri Jakarta. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through closed and open-ended questionnaires, analyzed based on four dimensions of the Mobile Apps Rating Scale (MARS): Engagement, Functionality, Aesthetics, and Information Quality. The findings indicate that students have a positive perception of the application, particularly regarding its ease of use (Functionality) and visual appeal (Aesthetics). The widget feature is considered to facilitate access and enhance learning motivation, despite technical issues such as lag on older devices and the need for more varied content. The application is deemed effective in supporting independent learning and helping students memorize kanji readings (onyomi and kunyomi) in sentence contexts. However, it is not entirely perceived as more engaging than traditional methods like textbooks. This study provides recommendations for developers to improve technical performance and content variety.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of "ganbaru" in song lyrics which act as a product of modern Japanese culture. The word "ganbaru" is strongly associated with Japanese society. It reflects the industrious and energetic character of the people. The power of the word "ganbaru" was evident after Japan's defeat in World War II, when the Japanese people worked together to quickly rebuild their country from scratch. The problem addressed in this paper is how the concept of "ganbaru," which has essential meaning in Japanese society, is reflected in song lyrics as a product of modern culture. The song in question is "Guts!" by Arashi, a popular Japanese group band. Data analysis was conducted using semantic theory with qualitative descriptive methods. The analysis revealed that of the eight stanzas of the song's lyrics, the first, third, and eighth stanzas appear to contain the concept of "ganbaru," which refers to the drive or motivation to achieve a goal. The second, sixth, and seventh stanzas contain the concept of "ganbaru," which refers to not giving up and continuing to strive to achieve the ultimate goal. Furthermore, the concept of "ganbaru," which reflects persistence and sincerity, is found in the fourth and fifth stanzas.
