Abstract

As the front guards, museum guides need to master many skills that support the role of transferring information in the museum to every visitor who comes, both domestic and foreign. More specifically, every museum guide must master foreign language skills in order to serve foreign visitors. Unfortunately, not all museum guides have foreign language skills, especially English, and other supporting skills such as curation, communication, and public speaking. This paper investigates the limited ability of English mastery and other supporting skills of museum guides in two government-owned museums in Yogyakarta, the second tourism city in Indonesia, and how far they affect the internationalization of the two museums as representatives of other museums in Indonesia. This descriptive research uses data collection methods in surveys with questionnaires and in-depth interviews with guides and visitors of the museum, both domestic and foreign. This research found that limited foreign language skills, especially English and other professional skills of museum guides, can slow down the museum's internationalization process in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of learning the Korean language and culture on students’ perceptions of social issues in South Korea. Drawing on the theory of cultural relativism in language acquisition and intercultural understanding, this quantitative research employed an online survey administered to 28 students enrolled in Korean language courses at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The participants came from diverse academic backgrounds and demonstrated varying levels of Korean proficiency. Data were analysed using T-tests and linear regression, with interpretation supported by relevant literature. The results indicate a significant positive correlation: students with higher proficiency in Korean language and culture exhibited greater awareness and understanding of South Korean social issues. This suggests that language and cultural education can enhance international awareness and empathy. Despite offering valuable insights, the study has certain limitations, including potential self-reporting bias and its general focus on broad social issues rather than specific topics such as workplace dynamics. Nonetheless, the findings are relevant for language educators, policymakers, and students seeking to deepen their cross-cultural competence.
