Abstract

This study investigates cultural transfer errors in the dialogues of the Harry Potter film series within the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Based on contrastive and error analyses, this study aims to identify types of cultural transfer errors and explain how differences in cultural and pragmatic norms between first (L1) and second (L2) languages contribute to learners’ misinterpretation of meaning. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from selected film dialogues containing idiomatic expressions, politeness strategies, and culturally embedded meanings. The findings reveal that EFL learners tend to interpret idiomatic expressions literally, resulting in the loss of emotional, evaluative, and pragmatic meanings intended by the speaker. These errors are primarily caused by L1 interference and limited cultural awareness, particularly regarding indirectness and idiomatic language use in English. The study concludes that cultural transfer errors extend beyond grammatical inaccuracies and significantly affect pragmatic competence. The study underscores the importance of incorporating cultural and pragmatic instruction into EFL learning and showcases the efficacy of film dialogue as authentic material for cultivating learners' cross-cultural communicative competence.

Abstract

This community service activity took place in Mangga Dua Village. The goal was to increase residents' understanding of and skills in using eco-enzymes, which are processed organic waste products. The program included socialization and explanations on how to make eco-enzymes from household waste. Participants then implemented the eco-enzymes on water spinach plants as a multifunctional liquid fertilizer. Community participation was high, and residents' understanding of eco-enzymes increased significantly, from 25% before the activity to 85% after. In addition to using eco-enzymes as an organic liquid fertilizer, the community learned about their benefits as natural cleaning agents and environmentally friendly disinfectants. Through this activity, the community gained alternative solutions for organic waste management that support sustainable agricultural practices, raise environmental awareness, and open up economic opportunities for the village.
