Abstract

This study seeks to enhance elementary school students' appreciation of Sasak cultural heritage in Central Lombok, an area increasingly influenced by tourism and exposure to foreign cultures. Recognizing a need to prioritize local cultural education, this research introduces illuminated stories, created with the input of five English teachers who contributed traditional stories and games from their childhood. Using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, 20 students engaged with these stories, and their progress was assessed using a validated tool that measured both cultural knowledge and language proficiency. Preliminary results demonstrate improvements in students’ engagement, cultural understanding, and language skills, highlighting the effectiveness of combining cultural education with PBL. These findings encourage further research with larger and more varied student groups to build on these promising outcomes.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery plays an important role in supporting students’ English language learning because it influences their ability to understand and communicate effectively. However, many junior high school students still experience difficulties in understanding, remembering, and using English vocabulary appropriately. Therefore, appropriate instructional media are needed to facilitate vocabulary learning and increase students’ engagement. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using pictures on students’ vocabulary mastery at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 5 Bayan in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employed a pre-experimental research design using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants consisted of 19 eighth-grade students selected as the research sample. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the implementation of picture media. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test with the assistance of SPSS 15.0. The findings revealed that students’ vocabulary achievement improved after the implementation of picture media. The mean score increased from 32.21 in the pre-test to 50.32 in the post-test. The paired sample t-test showed a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (t = -5.204, p < .001), indicating that picture media had a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. In conclusion, the use of pictures can be considered an effective instructional medium to improve students’ vocabulary learning outcomes. The findings contribute to the growing evidence regarding visual-based vocabulary instruction and provide practical implications for English teachers in implementing accessible and engaging strategies for vocabulary learning.

Abstract

The rapid growth of tourism has transformed many destinations into multilingual spaces where public signs function as communication media and representations of social, cultural, and economic activities. This study aims to analyze the linguistic forms and communicative functions of multilingual public signs along Senggigi Main Road, one of the main tourism corridors in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using Linguistic Landscape theory. Data consisted of 388 public signs collected through field observation and photographic documentation. The signs were analyzed according to their sources (top-down and bottom-up), language composition (monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual), and communicative functions (informational, symbolic, commercial, and cultural). The findings indicate that bottom-up signs dominate the linguistic landscape (86.3%), reflecting the significant role of private tourism businesses. Monolingual signs are the most common language composition (58.8%), followed by bilingual (38.1%) and multilingual signs (3.1%). Commercial function is the predominant communicative function (75.8%), while informational, symbolic, and cultural functions occur less frequently. These findings demonstrate that language choices in Senggigi's public signage primarily serve commercial purposes while simultaneously facilitating communication and representing local cultural identity. The study contributes to Linguistic Landscape research by integrating linguistic forms and communicative functions into a single analytical framework, providing a more comprehensive understanding of multilingual public signage in an Indonesian tourism destination.
