Abstract

Foreign language textbooks function not only as instructional media but also as cultural texts that construct specific representations of social life. This study investigates how cultural meanings are embedded in the Guten Appetit! theme of the Netzwerk Neu A1 textbook through the semiotic framework of Charles Sanders Peirce. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research analyzes visual illustrations and textual elements using Peirce’s triadic model of representamen, object, and interpretant, as well as his classification of hypoicons (image, metaphor, and diagram). The results indicated that visual and verbal signs in the Guten Appetit! theme of the Netzwerk Neu A1 textbook represented German dining culture through icons, indexes, and symbols. These signs reflected social values such as politeness, orderliness, and communal interaction, showing that the textbook not only taught language but also conveyed cultural meanings to beginner learners. The findings contributed theoretically by extending the application of Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory to the analysis of cultural representation in foreign language textbooks. Practically, the study showed that visual and verbal signs in simple themes such as Guten Appetit! conveyed deeper cultural meanings and could support learners' intercultural understanding in German language learning.

Abstract

Pronunciation is an important aspect of learning a new language because it helps learners speak clearly and communicate effectively. Many students experience difficulties in pronouncing German words because the sound system of their first language differs from that of German. This study aims to analyze the difficulties faced by students in pronouncing German words and to identify the factors that cause these difficulties. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research method. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with students, and pronunciation tests. The collected data were then analyzed to identify common pronunciation errors and the factors that influence students’ ability to pronounce German words accurately. The results show that students experience several challenges in pronouncing German words, particularly sounds that do not exist in their native language. The most common difficulties include pronouncing German consonant clusters, producing umlaut vowels such as ä, ö, and ü, and articulating specific sounds such as ch, r, and z. In addition, factors such as the influence of students’ first language, limited practice opportunities, low speaking confidence, and insufficient exposure to authentic German speech also contribute to these difficulties. Overall, students’ pronunciation difficulties arise from both linguistic and non-linguistic factors. Therefore, teachers should provide more opportunities for pronunciation practice, listening activities, and interactive speaking exercises to help students improve their pronunciation and communicate more effectively in German.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of using the Mondly German application as a medium for learning German to support independent learning outside the classroom. The research background stems from the need for innovative learning approaches among Semester VI students in the German Language Education Program at Universitas Negeri Medan, who are accustomed to formal classroom methods, while Mondly German offers interactive features such as conversation exercises, grammar drills, and vocabulary games. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected via a System Usability Scale (SUS)-based questionnaire from 30 students and analyzed through SUS calculations (stages 1–4) along with validity testing. The results revealed an average SUS score of 79.13 (grade C, excellent category, high acceptability level), with all questionnaire items deemed valid (r > r-table). It is concluded that students hold positive perceptions of Mondly German, suggesting that the application can serve as a supportive medium for German language learning. Theoretically, this finding supports the integration of technology-based learning tools in second language acquisition and contributes to the understanding of student attitudes toward interactive language apps. Practically, educators and curriculum developers can consider incorporating Mondly German as a supplementary resource to enhance independent learning and student engagement.
