Abstract

Emojis have become crucial in digital communication, enhancing emotional expression and clarity on social media. However, discrepancies exist in how emojis are interpreted across different cultural and contextual settings. This study aims to explore emoji usage and interpretation among university students inEnglish Language Education Study Program at UniversitasNias. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research examines how emojis influence message meaning and clarity. Findings reveal that while emojis significantly enhance emotional nuance and expressiveness, their interpretation varies widely based on context and cultural background. This can lead to misunderstandings if emojis are not used appropriately. The study highlights the importance of understanding cultural and contextual nuances to ensure effective communication. Conclusively, while emojis enrich digital interactions, users must be mindful of their context-aware and culturally informed usage to maximize clarity and minimize misinterpretations.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the naming of sub-villages and the diversity of cultural vocabulary in Bawodesolo Village, Gunungsitoli District, Gunungsitoli City, North Sumatra Province. The focus of this research is on three sub-villages: Delafiga, Hilinangea, and Simanaere. Using a phenomenological research design, this study involves semi-structured interviews with local residents to understand the meanings and cultural contexts of these sub-village names. The results of the research show that the sub-village names reflect the cultural identity, history, and values of the local community. Names such as "Delafiga" and "Simanaere" are not only geographical markers but also hold historical narratives and cultural concepts that are significant to the community. The analysis of cultural vocabulary reveals that the terms used by the residents reflect their relationship with the environment, spiritual beliefs, and social practices. This study highlights the importance of toponymy in understanding cultural identity and suggests that regional development policies should consider the cultural values embedded in place names. This research contributes to the preservation of local cultural heritage and provides valuable insights for further studies on cultural dynamics in this area.

Abstract

This community service examines the use of imaginative games in English learning to develop student character through the 6C framework: Collaboration, Communication, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Self-Confidence. This activity was conducted with seventh grade students at Agios Nikolaus Gunungsitoli Christian Private Junior High School using observation sheets, field notes and student worksheets to analyze the impact of imaginative play on language learning outcomes and character building. The findings showed that most students demonstrated strong collaboration and communication skills, participating effectively in group activities and verbal interactions. Comprehension of materials and critical thinking skills also improved, with 87.5% of students (14 out of 16) showing a strong understanding of English learning materials, including grammar and vocabulary. A total of 68.75% of students (11 out of 16) were able to analyze and solve problems effectively, although further development is needed to improve their critical thinking skills. However, creative innovation was less developed, with only half of the participants actively exploring new ideas. Self-confidence saw a significant improvement, with 81.25% of students (13 out of 16) showing high levels of self-confidence. This reflects the effectiveness of the imaginative play method in helping students feel confident using language. In conclusion, the 6C’s imaginative play effectively supports language acquisition and character education, particularly in enhancing communication, collaboration, and confidence, though additional strategies are needed to further improve creativity and critical thinking. This approach offers a holistic and engaging method for integrating character development into English language learning.
