Abstract

Although several linguists have examined the studies on study abroad (SA), limited studies have focused on online study-abroad contexts. The current study investigates the production of pragmatic routine and its influence on online sociocultural adaptation during online study abroad. This study involved Indonesian students in English and Chinese-taught programs at Beihang University, China. As a mixed method, this study uses Vocabulary Knowledge Scale (VKS) and Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (SCAS) to measure the students’ pragmatic routines production and online sociocultural adaptation. VKS scale is used to investigate the expression categories, including expressions of thanking, requesting, complementing, and greeting. In addition, SCAS is also used to explore the students’ sociocultural aspects, cognitive aspects, and behavioral situations. As a result, the study shows that most Indonesian students enrolling in Chinese and English-taught programs tend to produce pragmatic routines even though the Chinese aspect is produced more than the English aspect. Furthermore, there is also a positive contribution to the production of pragmatic routine and its development influenced by sociocultural adaptation during online study abroad.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penggunaan leksem dalam ranah pergerakan air melalui peribahasa Indonesia. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah hermeneutik. Semantik kognitif digunakan sebagai perspektif teoretis. Data yang digunakan adalah peribahasa Indonesia yang mengandung konsep leksikal dan konseptual dalam ranah gerak air dan maknanya. Data diperoleh dari buku kumpulan peribahasa. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian, digunakan analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman yang digabungkan dengan analisis source-in-target Ibanez. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat Indonesia menggunakan leksem yang berada dalam ranah pergerakan air untuk menjelaskan entitas abstrak. Secara eksplisit orang beranggapan bahwa (1) gerakan air adalah suatu kepastian/ketidakterhindaran, (2) gerakan air adalah masalah, (3) gerakan air seperti perilaku manusia, dan (4) gerakan air adalah ilustrasi nasihat. Penggunaan pergerakan air sebagai metafora sangat struktural dan menjadi dasar dalam metafora-metafora baru.This study aims to describe using lexemes in water movement through Indonesian proverbs. The approach used is hermeneutic. Cognitive semantics is used as a theoretical perspective. The data used are Indonesian proverbs containing lexical and conceptual concepts in water movement and their meanings. Data were obtained from a collection of proverbs. Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis was combined with Ibanez's source-in-target analysis to achieve the research objective. The results show that Indonesian people use lexemes in the realm of water movement to describe abstract entities. People explicitly assume that (1) water movement is a certainty/inevitability, (2) water movement is a problem, (3) water movement is like human behavior, and (4) water movement is an illustration of advice. The use of the movement of water as a metaphor is very structural and forms the basis of new metaphors.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of implementing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning at the preschool level through the “Action of Yeast” and “Electrical Putty” experiments. Pretest and posttest results show a significant increase in children's understanding of the concepts of anaerobic respiration and electrical conductivity. Through an interactive approach, children were actively involved in scientific exploration, which fostered curiosity, courage to experiment, and critical thinking skills. This activity also strengthened social and collaborative skills, where children learned to work together in small groups, appreciate their friends' ideas, and take responsibility for completing experiments. In addition, this practical experience provided an opportunity for KKM-I student participants to apply educational theory in the field, strengthening their pedagogical abilities and understanding the importance of innovation in science learning. This research confirms that the application of STEM-based learning at the preschool level is a strategic step in building a strong foundation for a young generation that is adaptive, creative, and innovative. Thus, this activity not only improves children's scientific understanding but also prepares them to face the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era and encourages their interest in science and technology.

Abstract

Foreign Investment Growth is influenced by a broad range of interconnected determinants that extend beyond conventional economic factors, including the implementation of Economic Diplomacy, the strength of Bilateral Cooperation, and the level of Political Stability, all of which collectively shape the attractiveness of a country's investment environment. In response to this perspective, the present study examines the influence of Economic Diplomacy and Bilateral Cooperation on Foreign Investment Growth by incorporating Political Stability as a mediating construct. The research adopted a quantitative approach involving 75 purposively selected respondents consisting of government representatives, business professionals, academics, and researchers specializing in investment, international trade, and international relations. Primary data were obtained through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique implemented in SmartPLS software. The analytical framework comprised the assessment of the measurement model (outer model), evaluation of the structural model (inner model), and hypothesis testing using the bootstrapping procedure. The empirical findings reveal that Economic Diplomacy has a negative but statistically significant effect on Foreign Investment (β = -0.271; p = 0.033), while exerting a positive and statistically significant influence on Bilateral Cooperation (β = 0.723; p < 0.001). In addition, Bilateral Cooperation positively and significantly affects Foreign Investment (β = 0.378; p = 0.043). Political Stability also demonstrates a positive and statistically significant impact on Foreign Investment (β = 0.525; p = 0.002), whereas its relationship with Bilateral Cooperation is positive but does not reach statistical significance (β = 0.067; p = 0.556). The structural model explains 57.7% of the variance in Bilateral Cooperation and 36.5% of the variance in Foreign Investment. Overall, the results indicate that stronger Bilateral Cooperation and sustained Political Stability represent the principal determinants supporting Foreign Investment Growth, while Economic Diplomacy continues to exert a statistically significant direct effect despite the negative direction of its estimated relationship.
