Abstract

Foreign language learners need to be provided with various real experiences to enhance their translation competence. The combination of product-oriented learning and exhibition-based exam is initialized through this research as an attempt to meet the need for translation learning. This research aims to elaborate on the application of product-oriented learning and exhibition-based exam in the translation class. This research was a descriptive study. The data of the research were mostly responses to the activities so a triangulation of quantitative data and qualitative data was employed. The quantitative data were obtained from the students’ questionnaire on the application of product-oriented learning in translation class and the visitors’ questionnaire on exhibition-based exam at the end of the course. Whilst, the qualitative data were taken from the lecturer’s observation notes. The research results show that the students had attained knowledge and skill in translation, entrepreneurial training, and enjoyment in learning. The students also gave positive responses toward the application of product-oriented learning and exhibition-based exam in translation class. The results proved that product-oriented learning and exhibition-based exam are compatible. The gist of exhibition-based exam supports the goal and process of product-oriented learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the linguistic landscape of the culinary business in Palopo Town, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, addressing the limited research on smaller urban contexts with distinct local languages and commercial dynamics. The research aims to identify the most frequently used languages in culinary signboards and to explore the motivations behind these linguistic choices. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through field observation in October 2025, resulting in 20 photographed culinary signboards. The analysis used the interactive model, involving data reduction, categorization based on language composition and communicative function, and sociolinguistic interpretation. The findings reveal four categories: monolingual English (40%), monolingual Indonesian or local languages (30%), bilingual (15%), and multilingual (5%). English is predominantly associated with modernity and global identity, while Indonesian and local languages signal cultural closeness and authenticity. Most business names are non-clausal nominal phrases, emphasizing brevity and branding efficiency. The results demonstrate that language choice in Palopo’s culinary signage functions not only as identification but also as a strategic tool for identity representation, market positioning, and negotiation between global and local values in public space.
