Abstract

Refusal is an essential aspect of communication that can lead to discomfort for both the refuser and the recipient. Speakers employ various refusal strategies to mitigate potential conflict and maintain social harmony. This study examines the refusal expressions used by Indonesian female university students studying Japanese and native Japanese female university students. It aims to explore how these two groups use refusal strategies in different academic settings: irai (requests), sasoi (invitations), and teian (suggestions), when interacting with both close and less close friends. Data were collected from 60 respondents using an Oral Discourse Completion Test (DCT) and analyzed based on Beebe et al.’s (1990) refusal semantic formula. The findings reveal that both groups predominantly use indirect strategies over direct ones across all scenarios. They also employ four main semantic categories in their refusals: fuka (denial), shazai (apology), riyuu (reason), and tamerai (hesitation), with riyuu and tamerai being the most frequently used. However, a notable difference emerged when refusing close friends: Indonesian Japanese learners exhibited a stronger tendency to preface refusals with shazai, suggesting a possible influence from their native language and cultural norms. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of intercultural pragmatics and the influence of linguistic background on refusal strategies. Future research may explore refusal expressions in broader social contexts to investigate cultural and linguistic influences on politeness strategies.

Abstract

The increasing number of internships from Indonesia to Japan provides opportunities for institutions offering Japanese language training. Based on data from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower, 300 Sending Organizations (SO) are legally authorized to send interns to Japan. However, many Vocational Training Institutions (Lembaga Pelatihan Kerja or LPK) are managed by business operators without a background in Japanese language education. Their Japanese language training programs primarily focus on preparing candidates to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) levels N5-N3, as Japan’s Ministry of Labor requires. This results in less attention given to proper learning implementation, appropriate textbook selection, relevant evaluation methods, and other aspects of quality instruction. This community service activity (PkM) aims to transfer knowledge and provide insights to Japanese language training providers and LPK instructors, particularly on creating Learning Implementation Plans (RPP). The partners in this community service project are LPKs located in the Province of Bali. The PkM activities will be conducted through training and mentoring, with training sessions held online and mentoring sessions conducted offline.The expected outputs of this PkM activity include drafts of RPPs created by the training participants, publication of PkM results in the form of scientific articles in national journals, activity videos, presentations at national or international seminars (such as ICJLE/ICOLLITE), media publications, and intellectual property rights (HKI).

Abstract

This study aims to explore global research trends on information technology integration in pragmatics studies through a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database over the past decade (2015–2024), resulting in 30 documents being analyzed. The analysis included document distribution based on publication type, institutional affiliation, author's country of origin, and keyword mapping using VOSviewer software. The analysis results show that most publications come from the United States, followed by the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom. The most productive institutions are RUDN University and Curtin University. The most dominant document type is scientific journal articles. Based on keyword co-occurrence analysis, three main clusters were identified: (1) technology integration approaches and processes, (2) evidence-based studies in educational and language contexts, and (3) communication applications and learning effectiveness. These findings provide a comprehensive overview of the research landscape in information technology integration in pragmatics and can serve as a strategic reference for academics and practitioners in designing more effective language learning innovations in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to map global trends in technology integration research in Japanese language learning using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer to display network visualization, topic evolution, and keyword clusters. The results show a significant increase in publications since 2022, driven by the acceleration of post-pandemic digital transformation. Authors from China, Japan, and Indonesia dominate the contributions, with regional and international collaboration patterns. Keyword analysis identified three main clusters: conceptual approaches, digital learning experiences, and learning system development. Topics such as artificial intelligence, mobile learning, and NLP have become new trends that have been increasingly researched in the past two years. However, research is still limited to higher education and traditional pedagogical approaches. In conclusion, technology research in Japanese language teaching is developing dynamically, but there are still gaps that need to be bridged. The implication is that further research is needed at the elementary-secondary education level, collaborative approaches, and exploration of cutting-edge technologies to create adaptive and sustainable learning systems in the digital era.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the characteristics of the Japanese language which are owned by languages from other countries, namely variations in the gender differences of the speakers. Variations in the gender differences of speakers in Japanese are divided into two, namely danseigo (male language variety) and joseigo (female language variety). The purpose of this language variation research is to find out what kinds of languages are used by men and women in a data source, namely the Isshuukan Furenzu film. The method used is descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using note-taking techniques. The results of this study found linguistic aspects of the variety of languages based on gender, namely ninshou daimeishi, shuujoshi, and kandoushi. The ninshou daimeishi found were watashi, watashitachi, ore, oretachi, anata, omae, anta, aisu, aitsura, and kanojo. Shuujosi found include zo, ze, sa, wa, wayone, no, noyo, deshou, kashira, yo, and no. Kandoushi found in the form of maa and hora.

Abstract

Self-repair is correcting a sentence's structure or meaning and rewording it to provide more specific information. Exploring the use of self-repair in learners is important as a potential indicator of language attrition in second-language learning. Self-repair can solve misunderstandings and clarify the speaker’s intention. It also allows students to repair their errors without the teacher’s involvement. Previous studies of self-repair in Japanese mostly investigate learners in formal institutions. However, research on using Japanese learners in non-formal institutions is limited. This study investigates the types and the changes in the self-repair of Indonesian Japanese learners’ speaking over a five-month training program in a Vocational Training Institution (LPK). This study used a mixed method, which combined quantitative and qualitative. Participants of this study were 10 Indonesian Japanese learners at an LPK in West Java, Indonesia. The instruments through a monologue speaking task were given at the beginning and end of the training program. The results showed that morphological change is the most frequent self-repair used by learners. However, the least used self-repair at the beginning and end of the training program was different. At the beginning of the training program, the least used self-repair was a phonological change, while at the end, there were phonological and lexical changes. This study showed a tendency for a reduced frequency of self-repair with increased proficiency. This study provided a learning strategy and contributed to developing a curriculum and teaching method that is more effective in improving learners' speaking skills, especially in preparing for work in Japan. However, this study only examines self-repair using monologue speaking tasks with familiar topics. Future studies should investigate self-repair using additional task designs to deepen insights into developmental patterns.
