Abstract

The study reports on the comparison of the esxpressions of politeness used in Japanese and Indonesian train cars. It aims to compare how politeness is expressed and in what situations or contexts politeness patterns are formulated on public signs in mobile public space, specifically inside Japanese and Indonesian train cars. This research is conducted under the framework of Linguistic Landscape approach, involving 36 photos of train cars signs in Japanese (19 photos) and in Indonesian (17 photos). This descriptive qualitative study analyzes signs by involving three types of public signs, including prohibitions, warnings, and instructions. The research results in some findings as follows. First, politeness marker in Japanese in any types of public signs of train cars involves the expressions kudasai or 'please' while that in Indonesian includes the use of the prefix 'di-' and the addition of lexical item of 'Mohon'. Second, in Japanese train cars signs, direct expressions appear almost in all types of signs but still using politeness, and explicitness is applied based on the situational needs of the signs, rather than the types of the signs. Similarly, in Indonesian train car signs, direct expressions appear in all types of signs and all signs use two types of politeness markers (lexical item of 'mohon' and the prefix 'di-'). The study found that he degree of politeness in sign expressions varies depending on the situation. Signs indicating danger or threats are typically less polite but more explicit, while those in regular areas are more polite but less explicit. This variation is evident in warning and instructional signs where the severity of the situation dictates the level of politeness and explicitness.

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.
