Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of interactive learning methods; playing, singing, and storytelling in enhancing linguistic intelligence among early childhood learners in English language settings. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and field notes. The findings reveal that interactive methods significantly improve children's engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and ability to construct simple sentences. Activities such as singing and storytelling not only boost verbal responses but also build children's confidence in using English both in and outside the classroom. Parents observed enhanced communication skills and self-confidence at home. Additionally, these methods contributed to cognitive development, fostering critical thinking and creativity. The study concludes that interactive English learning activities are instrumental in fostering linguistic intelligence in early childhood while providing a strong foundation for future academic and communication skills. Recommendations for integrating these methods into preschool curricula are provided, highlighting their potential for global adaptation in early language education.

Abstract

During the Japanese occupation of North Sumatra and Aceh, many Japanese soldiers and civilians died. Since Japanese people living in North Sumatra and Aceh did not have kamei (family name) and kamon (family symbol), they were buried in public cemeteries, such as Bukit Barisan Heroes Cemetery in Medan (TMPBB), Kerkhof Cemetery in Banda Aceh, and Japanese cemetery in Delitua, Deli Serdang district. Data were collected directly in the three cemeteries on the inscription texts of 65 headstones and texts on 14 signboards scattered in the cemetery with documentation techniques (photographs). The data totalled 367 texts, classified based on Chenoz & Gorter's (2007) Top-Down and Bottom-Up construction patterns to see the form and pattern of language use. Data analysis used Lechte's semiotic theory in Sobur (2017), text semiotics theory (Piliang: 2004), linguistic landscape theory (Landry and Bourhis: 1997) and language contestation: dominant and marginal languages were analysed with Bakhtin's theory (1981). The texts in the three burial areas are monolingual, bilingual and multilingual, namely Indonesian, Arabic, Japanese, English, Dutch and Acehnese. This indicates that Japanese burial areas are synonymous with symbols of language competence. At the TMPBB in Medan, Indonesian-Arabic is dominant, because the Japanese are Muslims and have become Indonesian citizens. Kerkhof Cemetery in Banda Aceh has four forms of language, namely Acehnese, Indonesian, Dutch and Japanese, and is dominated by Dutch graves. In the Japanese burial area in Delitua there are two forms of language, namely Japanese-Indonesian, and text written in Japanese characters. The use of language in these three Japanese burial areas is identical to the characteristics of religion, culture, social system, history, and locality. The texts also provide information messages in the form of identity, social status, prohibitions/commands, advice and sacredness. The symbols embodied in the linguistic landscape of Japanese funerals in Sumatra and Aceh are multilingual: Acehnese-Indonesian as a locality, Arabic as a symbol of Islamic religious entities, Japanese and Dutch as symbols of history and a dark colonial past, and English as a symbol of the religious tourism industry.

Abstract

Abstract Idiom is a phrase whose meaning cannot be understood just by looking at the meanings of the individual words in it. This article discusses the analysis of idioms formed from the word "Iki" in Japanese. The purpose of writing this research is to dig deeper into the understanding of the meaning of idioms in terms of their lexical and idiomatic meanings. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The data used in this study are seven idioms formed from the word "Iki." The data source is the Shinkanzen Master vocabulary book for levels N2 and N1. The data collection technique used is library research with note-taking and data analysis techniques presented through descriptive presentation.The results of this study show that idioms formed from the word "Iki" have different meanings and uses depending on the situation and conditions, as well as the phrases that follow them, so that accuracy is needed in communicating both orally and in writing.

Abstract

This study focuses on Japanese verb conjugation learning among beginner-level self-directed learners and to examine the relationship between learning strategies and conjugation accuracy. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach combined with qualitative analysis involving three self-directed learners at approximately JLPT N5 level. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire on learning strategies and a conjugation test covering polite form (ます形), te-form (て形), past form (た形), negative form (ない形), and phonological changes in godan verbs. The findings indicate a positive tendency between structured learning strategies and higher conjugation accuracy. Learners who actively classified verbs, engaged in repeated practice, and performed self-correction achieved significantly higher test scores compared to those who relied primarily on exposure without systematic strategies. The most noticeable differences appeared in godan verb conjugation, which requires pattern recognition and phonological rule generalization. These results suggest that the quality of learning strategies plays a more crucial role than the amount of study time in developing a stable morphological system among self-directed Japanese language learners.

Abstract

This study examines how the concept of ikigai is represented in the anime Barakamon. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyzes various scenes and dialogues that portray the journey of the main character, Seishuu Handa, in discovering his true self after experiencing a career and emotional crisis. Data were collected through the identification of significant scenes, the transcription of dialogues, and thematic categorization based on the four main components of ikigai: personal enjoyment or interest, individual competence, contribution to society, and professional value potential. The findings reveal that Barakamon clearly depicts Handa's process of rebuilding his ikigai through his relationships with the villagers, self-reflection, and creative engagement in the art of calligraphy. Handa's changes in attitude and psychological development demonstrate that ikigai is dynamic, evolving through a series of experiences, failures, and social interactions. This study concludes that Barakamon provides a compelling representation of how ikigai emerges in everyday life while highlighting the relationship between Japanese cultural values and the contemporary search for meaning in life.

Abstract

Onomatopoeia is one of the distinctive features of the Japanese language that functions not only to imitate sounds but also to represent psychological states, emotions, and the inner experiences of characters. In manga, onomatopoeia serves as both a linguistic and a visual element that reinforces the conveyance of meaning. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on giongo (sound-imitating onomatopoeia), while research on gijōgo remains relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the forms, meanings, and semantic functions of gijōgo found in the manga I Want to Eat Your Pancreas by Yoru Sumino and Izumi Kirihara. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the observation method (simak) and the non-participatory observation technique (Simak Bebas Libat Cakap—SBLC). The data source consists of all dialogues and onomatopoeic expressions found in the two volumes of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. The data were collected, classified according to the categories of gijōgo, and analysed using a semantic approach while considering the narrative context and the visual elements of the manga. The findings reveal that gijōgo in the manga represents not only positive emotions, such as happiness, warmth, and excitement, through the onomatopoeic expressions ニコッ (niko) and わくわく (wakuwaku), but also negative emotions, including awkwardness, tension, anxiety, surprise, irritation, and hostility, through expressions such as しーん (shiin), ドクン (dokun), ビクッ (biku), イラッ (ira), and ギロッ (giro). The meanings of these onomatopoeic expressions are constructed through the interaction between their linguistic forms, conversational context, characters' facial expressions, and visual illustrations, thereby representing psychological states that are not always explicitly conveyed through dialogue. This study concludes that gijōgo in manga functions not only as a semantic device but also as a narrative device that contributes to characterisation, strengthens the atmosphere, and enables readers to gain a deeper understanding of the characters' emotional development.

Abstract

Gairaigo as foreign loanwords, have become increasingly prominent in Japan’s public spaces and reflect the interaction between global and local languages ad cultures. This study aims to analyze the forms, functions, and factors undelying the use of gairaigo on Ishigakijima Island, Ishigaki City. Data were collected using a qualitative method through observations of public signage and were analyzed based on the theoretical frameworks of linguistic landscape and sociolinguistics. The results indicate that some gairago have undergone shifts in pronunciation and word choice, although their functions and meanings without change. The adoption of gairaigo in this region is driven by three main factors: 1) the nuanced meanings of foreign words cannot be fully replaced by Japanese equivalents, (2) effectiveness and efficiency in conveying information, and (3) aesthetic value, which is perceived as more appealing and in harmony with the Japanese linguistic sensibility. These findings confirm that gairaigo function not only as a form of linguistic adaptation but also as a cultural integration that enriches public communication in Japan.
