Abstract

ABSTRAK                                                                                     Merokok seringkali dipersepsikan sebagai perilaku yang merepresentasikan maskulinitas khususnya di kalangan pria. Persepsi tersebut masih banyak ditemukan pada remaja masa kini, yang memandang merokok sebagai simbol kedewasaan dan identitas maskulin. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kesadaran remaja terhadap bahaya merokok serta menghapus imaji positif merokok yang kerap dikaitkan dengan citra maskulinitas. Selain itu, kegiatan ini juga mengembangkan keterampilan komunikasi asertif melalui pembelajaran ungkapan bahasa Inggris untuk menolak ajakan merokok. Metode yang digunakan adalah Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), yang menekankan kolaborasi aktif antara peneliti, fasilitator, dan peserta dalam setiap tahapan kegiatan. Sebanyak 19 remaja masjid dari Mesjid Jami’ Al-Muttaqin, Cempaka Putih, Jakarta Pusat, ikut berpartisipasi dalam rangkaian kegiatan pengabdian berupa ceramah interaktif, diskusi, dan simulasi percakapan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan kuesioner kepuasan peserta. Hasil menunjukkan respon sangat positif; mayoritas peserta menyatakan puas hingga sangat puas terhadap materi, narasumber, dan sarana kegiatan. Seluruh peserta (100%) berminat mengikuti kegiatan serupa dan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman tentang bahaya merokok serta kemampuan menolak ajakan merokok secara asertif dalam bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan ini juga mengubah persepsi peserta terhadap citra merokok, dari perilaku yang dianggap simbol maskulinitas menjadi kebiasaan yang merugikan kesehatan. Integrasi edukasi kesehatan dan komunikasi asertif terbukti membantu mendorong perilaku sehat dan menghapus imaji positif merokok pada remaja.Kata kunci: Penelitian Berbasis Masyarakat; Pengabdian Masyarakat; Perilaku Merokok; Komunikasi Asertif. ABSTRACTSmoking is commonly viewed as a masculine practice, particularly among men. This attitude persists among today's youth, who see smoking as a sign of maturity and masculine identity. This community service activity attempts to enhance adolescent understanding of the dangers of smoking while also dispelling the favorable image of smoking that is frequently connected with masculinity. This activity also improves assertive communication skills by teaching English terms for declining requests to smoke. The method employed is Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), which emphasizes active collaboration among researchers, facilitators, and participants throughout the process. A total of 19 mosque youth from Masjid Jami’ Al-Muttaqin, Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta, participated in a series of community service activities, including interactive lectures, discussions, and conversation simulations. Data were collected through observation and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed a very positive response; the majority of participants expressed satisfaction to very satisfaction with the material, speakers, and activity facilities. All participants (100%) expressed interest in participating in similar activities and demonstrated an increased understanding of the dangers of smoking and the ability to refuse invitations to smoke assertively in English. This activity also changed participants' perceptions of smoking, from a behavior perceived as a symbol of masculinity to a habit detrimental to health. The integration of health education and assertive communication has been found to help encourage healthy behaviors and dispel unfavorable attitudes toward smoking among adolescents. Keywords: Community-Based Research; Community Service; Smoking Behavior; Assertive Communication.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the semiotic representations of gender inequality within Taylor Swift's song lyrics. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, it analyzes the signifier and signified embedded in her music. Drawing upon Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory, the study delves into the material aspects of language—what is seen, heard, or read (signifier)—and the corresponding mental images or concepts (signified). Through a comprehensive analysis of Swift's songs, including "The Man," "Mad Woman," and "Look What You Made Me Do," the research uncovers the pervasive gender gap and mistreatment faced by women in various societal contexts. Data collection involves listening to the songs, understanding their meaning, and observing instances of discrimination against women in daily life. The findings highlight the significance of Swift's music as a platform for discourse on gender inequality, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for women's rights in contemporary society.

Abstract

This research is based on using "ngalem" or praising oral speech in daily communication. “Ngalem” is an expression to show admiration for other people. Nowadays, the use of this term is rarely used in Javanese society. This research aims to describe and explain the metaphors found in Javanese speech when someone "ngalem" or praises another person. Next, provide data using the listen and note method. There are several findings, first, "ngalem" or praise is usually intended to praise the beauty of male and female body parts including the head, body, hands, and feet. Second, the type of metaphor that dominates is anthropomorphic metaphor. "ngalem" tends to match parts of the human body with inanimate objects. Third, the animal metaphor type is used to describe a beautiful neck as coiled like a snake, while the synesthetic metaphor is used to "smile" at the beauty of the lips. Some informants still remember this expression but tend not to understand its meaning. Some informants also no longer introduce these expressions to their children or grandchildren. This research illustrates the Javanese community's declining interest in maintaining and passing on the language to the generations below.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to apply the teaching of speaking English through mind mapping strategy for the students at the English Department of Bina Sarana Informatika University. The participants included 20 students in the third semester. Speaking is an important skill in English language learning which is used by the students to communicate in their class and daily activities as a way of learning practice. By this mind mapping strategy, this paper aims at showing that this strategy can be implemented to get active speaking skills. This research uses a qualitative method to describe the practice application of classroom observations and the emerging themes of the original slang words gained through watching a movie. The data were carried out by observing, documenting, and interviewing students about the speaking teaching-learning process in the classroom using the English slang words in a movie with a mind-mapping strategy. The data was analyzed and focused on classroom practice directly related to the use of slang words in a movie and the mind-mapping strategy. The results showed that implementing a mind-mapping strategy through slang words in a movie can be conducted by knowing the meaning of the slang word in the movie, mapping the slang word into the sentence, and practicing the slang word in the student’s conversation. This mind-mapping strategy is effective in helping the EFL students to enrich their vocabularies, enhance their memory in making conversation, and remember the material easier and more creatively.
