Abstract

This study analyzes the linguistic landscape in commercial spaces with a case study of two business signs in Indonesia, namely Tokio 「とこや」Barber in Bali and Bing Pop Restaurant in Probolinggo. This study aims to reveal how the use of language and visual elements in signboards reflects identity, marketing strategies, and local socio-cultural dynamics. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a semiotic and sociolinguistic approach, through field observation and visual documentation. The results of the analysis show that the Tokio 「とこや」Barber signboard utilizes Japanese linguistic aesthetics and characters to build an exclusive and modern image, while Bing Pop uses popular language styles and bright colors that reflect a local and friendly approach. Both signboards show a shift in the function of commercial spaces as a place to express global and local linguistic and cultural identities. Furthermore, this study highlights the educational value of the linguistic landscape, as it encourages public literacy in recognizing multilingual expressions, cultural diversity, and the role of visual language in shaping perception. Thus, the linguistic landscape not only represents the language used, but also becomes a visual communication medium that influences public perception of a brand or business space, while fostering broader awareness of language learning and cultural literacy.

Abstract

This article examines the application of crisis discourse analysis in Japanese language learning by analyzing how Japanese media represent crises and how students respond to them. The crises include natural disasters, pandemics, and social issues as reflected in authentic media texts such as news articles and advertisements. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach grounded in discourse analysis theories by Fairclough and Van Dijk. Findings indicate that integrating crisis discourse into language learning enhances students’ critical literacy and their awareness of the social construction of meaning in the Japanese language.

Abstract

The advancement of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology has significantly impacted the methods of foreign language education, including Japanese. This study aims to analyze the implementation of NLP-based technology in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of Japanese language learning for non-native learners. Using a literature review and content analysis approach, this article examines various educational applications that utilize NLP features such as automatic feedback, pronunciation training, and real-time syntactic and semantic analysis. The findings suggest that NLP can enrich the learning experience by offering personalized support and adaptive learning paths. However, challenges such as cultural context limitations and dependency on native-speaker-oriented data remain. This research provides insights and recommendations for curriculum developers and educational technology designers in optimizing NLP-based tools for Japanese language instruction.
