Abstract

This study investigates the rhetorical strategies used by a leadership university in a policy speech, focusing on the communication of leadership strategies within an academic context. Through a discourse analysis approach, the research explores how the message is organized, delivered, and perceived by audiences on social media platforms. The findings reveal that while the speech addresses critical issues related to educational leadership and policy, its effectiveness is diminished by excessive repetition, convoluted sentence structures, and poorly timed pauses that disrupt the speech's flow. Despite the relevance of the topics, these communication flaws reduce the clarity and impact of the core messages on educational administration and policy outcomes. The study also examines how rhetorical choices, such as specific word selection and speech structure, either enhance or undermine the speaker’s goals. These insights underscore the necessity for clear, concise, and well-structured communication in educational leadership, particularly when dealing with complex policy matters. This research offers valuable contributions to the field of educational governance, providing practical recommendations for refining leadership communication to improve the reception and implementation of policy initiatives.

Abstract

This study explores how international students perceive Indonesian culture while participating in the Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) program at Padang State University. Framed within Cross-Cultural Understanding (CCU), the study investigates how students’ cultural backgrounds, prior experiences, and exposure to cultural content in language teaching shape their engagement and motivation. Using a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings show that most students positively perceive Indonesian culture, particularly appreciating traditions, hospitality, and food. However, challenges arise with abstract cultural values, such as indirect communication, hierarchical relationships, and concepts of politeness, which sometimes contrast with students' native cultural norms. Students from Southeast Asian countries reported smoother cultural adjustment than those from Western countries. Furthermore, students favored experiential learning—such as field trips, cooking classes, and cultural performances—over theoretical cultural instruction. These insights reinforce the importance of integrating cultural content into language instruction but also highlight the need for culturally responsive pedagogy that considers learners’ diverse cultural frameworks. The study suggests incorporating CCU models (e.g., Byram's ICC Bennett's DMIS) to support intercultural reflection, identity development, and deeper engagement. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts of cultural learning and implement structured tools to evaluate intercultural competence development.

Abstract

The Meranti Regency is endowed with a rich biodiversity, including the sea cucumber, locally known as beronok, which has been recognized by the local community for its high nutritional value. This article explores community empowerment efforts aimed at utilizing beronok to enhance nutritional quality and overall well-being. With its rich content of protein, minerals, and other health benefits, beronok holds the potential to be developed into a valuable functional food source. Through educational programs and training, the community is encouraged to process and utilize beronok effectively to support food security and promote healthier lifestyles. This initiative not only aims to improve the nutritional intake of the local population but also to enhance their socio-economic status by creating new opportunities for livelihood through sustainable use of natural resources. By increasing community awareness and skills in processing beronok, the program seeks to foster a self-sufficient and health-conscious community. The study highlights the importance of integrating local resources into community development strategies to address nutritional challenges and improve living standards, thereby contributing to the overall resilience and sustainability of the region.

Abstract

This community service article advocates integrating structured Islamic philanthropy, exemplified by the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), into Muslim student communities at Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat (UPGRISBA) and Universitas Bung Hatta (UBH). Indonesia, prone to recurrent natural disasters, requires sustainable preparedness systems. In this context, BAZNAS serves as a strategic quasi-state actor that bridges religious duty and bureaucratic professionalism. The study of BAZNAS’s discourse, as analyzed through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), reveals a model where institutional legitimacy is constructed through three synergistic layers: Syariah legitimacy (via MUI Fatwa 66/2022), technocratic-managerial legitimacy (through ISO 9001:2015 and WTP audit opinions), and political legitimacy (via endorsements from state officials, including the Vice President). This multi-layered approach transforms Zakat from traditional charity into a modern instrument of disaster governance and social resilience. This community service intervention aims to transfer this BAZNAS model of "organized giving" to student bodies, promoting the idea that Zakat, Infak, and Sadaqah (ZIS) are effective tools for collective welfare and crisis response. The current analysis of BAZNAS's public communication highlights the rhetoric of quantification and certification (e.g., using precise financial figures and WTP audits) and the semantics of heroism (e.g., "garda terdepan," or "frontline") to reinforce accountability and public trust. By adopting the discursive principles of BAZNAS, namely systematic management, digital transparency, and strategic alignment with development goals, student philanthropic units at UPGRISBA and UBH can enhance their credibility, expand their operational scale, and effectively position themselves as central actors in student and community resilience initiatives. The ultimate goal is to move the student understanding of philanthropy beyond reactive aid to a proactive, sustainable framework grounded in accountability and professionalism

Abstract

This study investigates how the National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) constructs its institutional image and legitimacy in disaster management through discourse. Using Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, the research explores textual, cognitive, and contextual dimensions of BAZNAS’s disaster response narratives. The study analyzes official publications, press releases, and media reports to reveal how language is strategically employed to shape public perception of BAZNAS as both a faith-based and professional humanitarian actor. The findings demonstrate that BAZNAS incorporates Syariah legitimacy (endorsed by the Indonesian Ulema Council's Fatwa No. 66/2022), technocratic legitimacy (achieved through ISO 9001:2015 certification and unqualified audit opinions), and political legitimacy (via endorsements from State officials). These layers of discourse position BAZNAS as a quasi-state institution bridging religious duty and bureaucratic professionalism. At the superstructural level, narratives emphasize rapid response, organizational efficiency, and structured governance, while micro-level analysis highlights rhetorical strategies such as quantification, metaphors of heroism, and digital transparency that reinforce credibility and public trust. This study concludes that BAZNAS’s discourse transforms the meaning of Zakat from a traditional act of charity into a modern instrument of disaster governance and social resilience. By linking faith-based values with managerial and state-endorsed frameworks, BAZNAS strengthens its role as a central actor in Indonesia’s philanthropic ecosystem. The research contributes to the understanding of Islamic philanthropy, discourse, and power relations in the context of humanitarian crises. Abstrak Penelitian ini menginvestigasi bagaimana Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) membangun citra kelembagaan dan legitimasi dalam penanggulangan bencana melalui wacana. Dengan menggunakan kerangka Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) Teun A. van Dijk, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi dimensi tekstual, kognitif, dan kontekstual dari narasi respons bencana BAZNAS. Studi ini menganalisis publikasi resmi, siaran pers, dan laporan media untuk mengungkap bagaimana bahasa digunakan secara strategis dalam membentuk persepsi publik terhadap BAZNAS sebagai aktor kemanusiaan yang berbasis keagamaan sekaligus profesional. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BAZNAS menggabungkan legitimasi Syariah (diperkuat oleh Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia No. 66/2022), legitimasi teknokratis (melalui sertifikasi ISO 9001:2015 dan opini audit tanpa pengecualian), serta legitimasi politik (melalui dukungan pejabat negara). Lapisan-lapisan wacana tersebut memosisikan BAZNAS sebagai lembaga kuasi-negara yang menjembatani kewajiban keagamaan dengan profesionalisme birokratis. Pada tataran superstruktur, narasi menonjolkan respons cepat, efisiensi organisasi, dan tata kelola yang terstruktur; sementara analisis pada level mikro menyoroti strategi retoris seperti kuantifikasi, metafora heroisme, dan transparansi digital yang memperkuat kredibilitas dan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa wacana BAZNAS mentransformasikan makna zakat dari sekadar tindakan amal tradisional menjadi instrumen modern tata kelola bencana dan ketangguhan sosial. Dengan mengaitkan nilai-nilai keagamaan dengan kerangka manajerial dan dukungan negara, BAZNAS memperkuat perannya sebagai aktor sentral dalam ekosistem filantropi di Indonesia.

Abstract

This study addresses the growing disconnection between scientific health promotion and traditional cultural practices in multicultural societies. In Indonesia, particularly in West Sumatra, indigenous health knowledge rooted in Minangkabau philosophy has long emphasized balance, respect, and communal well-being. However, in the context of globalized sports nutrition and cross-cultural communication, these values are often marginalized or misinterpreted. The challenge lies in integrating ethical communication with traditional health practices, such as the consumption of stingless bee honey (Galo-galo), into modern health and sports systems without reducing them to mere commodities. The research aims to explore the intersection of cross-cultural communication ethics, multicultural values, and sports nutrition by examining the functional role of West Sumatra honey as both a nutritional and cultural medium. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzes how Minangkabau health traditions can be ethically conveyed in pluralistic contexts to promote athlete performance and public well-being. Laboratory findings indicate that West Sumatra stingless bee honey exhibits superior phytochemical properties, with total phenolic content ranging from 39.98 to 81.02 mg GAE/g and α-glucosidase inhibition of 67.6%, confirming its strong antioxidant and anti-hyperglycemic potential. In applied sports contexts, supplementation with Galo-galo honey correlates with stable blood glucose levels and faster heart rate recovery (HRR) in rowing and soccer athletes. By integrating Minangkabau philosophical ethics, such as duduk samo randah and tagak samo tinggi, the study proposes a model of ethical communication grounded in empathy and cultural humility. The results underscore that fostering cross-cultural communication ethics through traditional resources not only enhances physical performance and health but also strengthens social harmony and cultural resilience in an increasingly globalized era.
