Abstract

This training was held at Universitas Harapan Medan which is located at Jl. Imam Bonjol No. 35 Medan. Based on the results of observations carried out by the service team, several problems faced by students at the university were obtained, especially those related to English. Most of them still don't dare to communicate in English and are still passive when there are activities or competitions held by the campus, such as English debate competitions. English language experts consider English Debate to be very effective when applied to improve speaking. It is hoped that students will be more enthusiastic about participating in English debate training if it is combined with video blog (vlog) media. Video media is a type of audio-visual media. This media can increase students' interest in learning because students can listen and see pictures. Service activities are carried out in three stages. The first stage is the preparation stage. In this stage, the service team carries out a preliminary survey to see the conditions in partners and also look for problems faced by students, especially in terms of English. The next stage is the stage of implementing community service activities. The final stage is the evaluation stage. In this stage, evaluation is carried out on the results achieved by the training participants. Further input and improvements can be made at this stage. Evaluation is provided by collecting data obtained from training activities.

Abstract

This community service program is a collaboration between Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) that explores the cultural and linguistic meanings of traditional cuisines in Medan and Penang. The objective of this community engagement initiative is to preserve culinary heritage through documentation, analysis and comparison of culinary terms, historical roots, and symbolic meaning amidst the challenges of globalization. Using a mixed-method approach-combining field etnography, computational linguistics (AI-based lexical mapping), and semiotic analysis, the team collected data from oral histories, ancient recipes, and digital etnography. The results highlight regional variations related to migration and colonial influences, as well as the documentation of terms such as rendang (Minang) and nasi kandar (Malay-Indian) enriched with etymologies and cultural narratives.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety remains a major affective barrier in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) higher education. Although research since (Horwitz et al., 1986) has consistently shown a negative relationship between anxiety and performance, few studies have translated these findings into integrated instructional design. This developmental study investigates affective, linguistic, and pedagogical conditions in Indonesian undergraduate public speaking courses and proposes a Digital Case Study and Project-Based Learning (D-CS&PjBL) framework. Data were collected from 50 students and 7 lecturers using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), classroom observations, interviews, focus group discussion, and digital perception surveys. Results indicate that 42% of students experience high speaking anxiety, primarily driven by fear of negative evaluation. Code mixing emerged as cognitive affective scaffolding aligned with translanguaging theory, while asynchronous rehearsal through Flip enhanced confidence but lacked systematic integration. The porposed framework embeds translanguaging informed scaffolding and digital rehearsal within inquiry based project cycles. An effect size simulation (Cohen’s d=0.50) suggests moderate projected impact for future quasi experimental validation. The study contributes to affective second language acquisition research and multilingual digital pedagogy.

Abstract

This study examines the function and impact of student research in fortifying the academic framework at the Faculty of Letters, Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al- Washliyah. As a foundational aspect of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, student research should transcend mere fulfillment of graduation criteria, functioning instead as a vital tool for intellectual growth. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the investigation gathers data through methods such as observation, interviews, and analysis of students' scholarly outputs. The findings reveal that these research endeavors substantially enhance information literacy, critical analytical abilities in literary and linguistic texts, and the faculty's output of scientific publications. Nonetheless, persistent barriers, including restricted access to references and challenges in time management, continue to impede progress. To elevate academic standards within the faculty, this study advocates for intensified collaboration between lecturers and students on research, alongside provision of enhanced support facilities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the psychological conflicts experienced by the lyrical persona in eight selected songs from Billie Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? using the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies 97 instances of psychological conflict, including anxiety, insecurity, loneliness, unresolved grief, emotional dependency, and identity instability. Freud’s theory reveals conflicts through the interaction of the id, ego, superego, and defense mechanisms, while Jung’s theory highlights the roles of persona, shadow, and individuation. The findings show that the album functions as a cohesive psychological narrative portraying the persona’s ongoing struggle for self-understanding and emotional balance. The study concludes that the album reflects complex psychological experiences and demonstrates the relevance of psychoanalytic approaches in analyzing contemporary song lyrics.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and compare the word formation processes found in the Archipelago and Politics sections of The Jakarta Post based on George Yule’s (2010) theory. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to analyze data collected from six online news articles published in 2025, consisting of three articles from each section. The findings show that several word formation processes were used in both sections, including borrowing, compounding, blending, conversion, acronym, derivation, and multiple processes. A total of 118 word formation items were found in the Politics section and 116 items in the Archipelago section. Among all types, derivation was the most dominant process, accounting for 46.61% of the data in Politics articles and 79.31% in Archipelago articles. The Politics section contained more acronyms, compounds, and conversions, while the Archipelago section relied more heavily on derivational forms. The study concludes that different news sections tend to use different linguistic patterns depending on their topics and communicative purposes. These findings contribute to the understanding of morphology, particularly the use of word formation processes in media texts.
