Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the Guest Lecture program between the University of Dr. Soetomo (Unitomo) andOkayama University in 2023 functions as an instrument of soft power in Japan’s educational diplomacy inIndonesia. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research explores the mechanisms of value transmissionand cultural influence embedded within cross-border academic collaboration. The findings reveal that the academicpartnership operates not through coercive means, but rather through persuasive approaches grounded in academicreputation, institutional credibility, and interpersonal trust. The Guest Lecture program effectively fosters students’motivation and aspirations to pursue higher education in Japan by providing scholarship information, accessibleEnglish-language international programs, and active alumni engagement. Moreover, it cultivates positivebehavioral changes among students, including discipline, professionalism, and work ethics values that reflectJapanese cultural principles. The study concludes that higher education serves as a strategic channel of soft power,strengthening bilateral relations between Indonesia and Japan through the internalization of shared educationalvalues. It recommends transforming the Guest Lecture into a structured and sustainable annual program,emphasizing collaborative research and alumni network development as strategic steps to enhance the long-termbenefits of academic diplomacy for both universities.Keywords: soft power, educational diplomacy, academic cooperation, guest lecture, Japan–Indonesia relations

Abstract

The acquisition of foreign languages from an early age holds great potential, as children possess a natural ability to absorb language contextually and intuitively. In this regard, textbooks become one of the crucial elements supporting successful learning. This study explores the use of the Yasashii Nihongo textbook design in the process of Japanese language acquisition among elementary school students, based on the perspective of native speakers. Yasashii Nihongo is a Japanese language textbook designed interactively through a sociocultural approach that emphasizes the daily life context of children in Japan while being adapted to Indonesian culture. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The research findings show that the design of the Yasashii Nihongo textbook has significant potential to assist elementary school students in acquiring the Japanese language. This is because the design of Yasashii Nihongo 1) has a highly organized structure; 2) uses simple yet clear language; 3) provides highly relevant content to daily life; 4) utilizes effective and appealing illustrations; 5) offers sufficient exercises and evaluations; 6) aligns with the developmental stages of elementary school students; and 7) provides accurate reference information along with sociocultural insights into Japanese life that are relevant to the students' daily experiences

Abstract

The integration of literacy and numeracy has become a crucial priority in modern education in response to the increasing role of digital technology in learning. The need for an approach that connects narrative comprehension with mathematical reasoning has driven the development of the STEM– Literacy Integration model. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the model, which is characterized by the use of contextual mathematical narratives, cross-disciplinary problem solving, multimodal digital representations, and adaptive learning pathways that link language comprehension with numerical reasoning. The model was implemented through a digital learning platform to strengthen students’ reading comprehension and numeracy skills. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 120 junior high school students in Surabaya, who were divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were obtained through narrative literacy tests and numeracy assessments, while qualitative data were collected through interviews, observations of digital learning activities, and learning analytics. The results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension and numeracy performance in the experimental group (p < 0.05). Thematic analysis revealed that the integration of mathematical storytelling, interactive simulations, visual–verbal reinforcement, and real-world STEM contexts strengthened the cognitive connection between language and mathematical concepts. This study concludes that the STEM– Literacy Integration model is effective in simultaneously enhancing literacy and numeracy in the digital era.

Abstract

This study analyzes conversational turn-taking strategies used in the WSJ News interview between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. The aims of this study are to identify the types of turn-taking strategies used in the interview and to explain how these strategies organize the flow of conversation during a tense political interview. This research is based on Conversation Analysis, especially the turn-taking theory proposed by Anna-Brita Stenström (1994), which focuses on how speakers take turns, hold turns, interrupt, overlap, and repair speech in spoken interaction. A descriptive qualitative method is used, and the data are taken from a WSJ News video recording of the Trump–Zelensky interview. The spoken data are analyzed by identifying and classifying turn-taking strategies such as interruption, overlap, self-selection, turn-holding, and repair, and the findings are presented in tables to make the results easier to understand. The results show that several types of turn-taking strategies appear frequently, with interruption and overlap being the most dominant, especially during moments of disagreement and tension. The speakers often take turns competitively, which causes interruptions and overlapping speech, showing that turn-taking rules are not always followed. Overall, the findings indicate that turn-taking strategies play an important role not only in managing speaking turns but also in showing power, disagreement, and control in political media discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzes rhetorical devices used by Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in their spontaneous verbal exchange published by The Wall Street Journal in 2025. This study aims to identify the types of rhetorical devices used by both political leaders and to explain how these devices function as instruments of power negotiation in high-stakes political communication. This research applies Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis framework, focusing on textual and sociocultural practice dimensions to examine how language constructs power relations and social meaning. This paper used a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that Trump predominantly uses repetition, metaphor, hyperbole, and sarcasm to assert dominance and construct authority. At the same time, Zelensky employs rhetorical questions, rejection of imposed metaphors, emotional appeals, and ethical positioning to resist dominant framing and maintain credibility. Overall, the findings indicate that rhetorical devices play an important role not only as stylistic choices but also as strategic mechanisms for negotiating power and shaping social meaning in spontaneous international political discourse.
