Abstract

T This study focuses on podcasts as a medium for enhancing speaking competence in German as a Foreign Language (DaF) instruction. In contrast to existing research, this study emphasizes student-created podcasts and their didactic potential in higher education contexts. The key research questions explore how podcasts can be integrated into the classroom, how project-based learning through podcasts supports language acquisition, and how their use affects speaking proficiency. The study is conducted with German language students at UNJ and UNPAD at the B2 proficiency level. Initial survey results indicate that the use of podcasts increases students' motivation to learn German. Furthermore, findings suggest that creating their own podcasts not only improves students' linguistic abilities but also fosters 21st-century skills, including learning and innovation competencies as well as media, information, and technology literacy—skills that align with Indonesia’s educational goals.  The study's findings aim to provide German language instructors with further insights and practical ideas on how podcasts can be effectively implemented in DaF instruction to better meet the needs of today's learners.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the characterization of the main characters in Oliver Kienle’s film Isi & Ossi. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, applying Minderop’s theory of fictional characterization and the Hippocrates–Galen personality typology. The findings reveal that 20 data points were collected from the two main characters in the film, consisting of dialogues, monologues, and scenes. The main characters analyzed in this study are Isi and Ossi. Based on the analysis using Minderop’s theory, the indirect characterization method appears 31 times, while the direct characterization method appears three times. Furthermore, the personality typology analysis indicates that Isi’s dominant personality type is choleric, followed by melancholic and sanguine. Meanwhile, Ossi’s dominant personality type is choleric, followed by melancholic, sanguine, and phlegmatic.
