Abstract

Neurolinguistic research on language processing in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has progressed markedly in the last ten years. The variability in research methodologies and results frequently hinders the formation of a holistic comprehension of advancements in this domain. This study is to do a comprehensive literature review to summarize and evaluate publication trends, principal subjects, and commonly employed methodologies in neurolinguistic research focused on language processing in children with ASD. This analysis also indicates underexplored research areas and gaps that can inform future investigations. This research used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology in accordance with PRISMA criteria to examine academic papers from many databases, including Google Scholar and Scopus. The research identifies numerous significant trends, such as heightened focus on lexical and semantic perception impairments, the application of brain imaging technology, and linguistics-based therapies. These findings are anticipated to provide a reference for more targeted future study and facilitate the development of therapies designed to improve language skills in children with ASD.

Abstract

The Community Service (PKM) program, themed "Moral Ethics Education for the Community to Support National Resilience in East Jakarta," will be conducted from March 2024 to December 2024. This program is an integral component of the project-based learning curriculum of Universitas Darma Persada, East Jakarta. The objective is to improve the community's comprehension of moral ethics and the significance of national resilience within the framework of effective governance. The deployed strategies consist of distributing banners, leaflets, providing direct education to the community, and disseminating educational content via YouTube. The program's effectiveness is underpinned by cooperation among the academic community of Universitas Darma Persada, government agencies in East Jakarta, the populace in ten sub-districts, and business entities. A poll of 527 students revealed a necessity for community service programs aimed at bolstering national resilience and governance, namely in the areas of improving the national legal system and anti-corruption initiatives.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the relation between the stimulation of play that is provided by parents and the development of linguistic and social skills in young children. One of the most important methods in which children develop their social, emotional, and cognitive abilities is through play. The purpose of this study was to identify different types of play, such as physical, symbolic, and social play, as well as the role that parents play in supporting these types of play. This was accomplished through observations, interviews with parents, and documenting of play activities. According to the findings, parents who are actively involved in play with their children have the ability to improve their children's social skills, including the ability to share, cooperate, resolve conflicts, and understand diverse points of view. In addition, it was discovered that play stimulation, particularly in the form of role-playing and group play, plays a significant role in the development of empathy, communication skills, and language acquisition. The excessive use of digital media and the restricted amount of time that parents have available to spend with their children were highlighted as variables that inhibit the quality of interactions that occur during play. The findings of this study indicate that parental play stimulation is an essential component in the process of nurturing both social and language development in young children. This finding has implications for both parents and educators in terms of the development of play activities that support children's overall growth and development.

Abstract

Counseling interventions coordinated by social work are essential for suicide prevention in underprivileged groups. Linguistic methodologies in counseling promote effective communication, improve comprehension, and foster trust between social workers and vulnerable children. This study examines optimal practices for applying counseling strategies that incorporate linguistic sensitivity among two underrepresented communities. The results indicate that this method effectively enhanced children's emotional regulation (80%), self-confidence (75%), and the formation of healthy interpersonal relationships (85%). Nonetheless, obstacles such as stigma associated with mental health care, parental opposition, and resource limitations persist as considerable impediments. Recommendations encompass training social workers in linguistically inclusive communication techniques, enhancing cross-sector policy support, and utilizing technology to broaden program outreach. This study emphasizes that incorporating language and cultural methodologies into social work counseling can effectively mitigate suicide risk in marginalized areas, ensuring communication is socially and culturally pertinent while promoting trust and engagement.

Abstract

Pronunciation plays a vital role in effective communication, ensuring that a speaker's message is clearly conveyed to the listener. This research explores the challenges faced by EFL students in pronouncing assimilation in English connected speech, particularly focusing on difficulties with various types of assimilation, including /t/, /d/, /n/, and /s/. An exploratory quantitative approach was utilized, involving students from the English Education Department at STAIN Mandailing Natal. Participants completed a pronunciation test to evaluate their ability to identify and produce assimilated sounds. The results revealed notable difficulties, with a high frequency of incorrect responses, indicating significant challenges in pronouncing certain types of assimilation. Among these, the assimilation of /d/ and /n/ sounds proved to be the most challenging, while /s/ assimilation was comparatively easier. The study emphasizes the importance of targeted pronunciation training, addressing the most problematic assimilation patterns, and integrating interactive, personalized teaching methods to enhance students' overall pronunciation skills.

Abstract

This study examines the efforts of Mover Teachers in Sumbawa Besar City to implement digital literacy principles in line with the Independent Curriculum. Using a multi-case study approach, it reveals that while teachers are adept at using basic digital tools like Zoom and Google Classroom, they struggle with integrating more advanced platforms like Google Docs and data analytics tools. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and peer collaboration are key enablers, with training workshops fostering innovative teaching practices. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited internet access, and inconsistent high-level training hinder broader adoption. Teachers also face difficulties managing digital classrooms and developing students' critical assessment skills, highlighting the need for targeted professional development. Grounded in Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Bandura's social learning theory, the study emphasizes the importance of scaffolding and collaborative learning to enhance digital competencies. Addressing these barriers is essential for equitable and effective curriculum implementation, equipping educators and students with 21st-century skills for a digitally connected world.

Abstract

This study investigates the verbal and non-verbal elements within the logos of the "Big Six" Premier League clubs, aiming to uncover their denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings, and how these aspects represent identity. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, the research draws data from official club websites and documented literature. The analysis reveals that logos embody club identities through denotation, connotation, and myth, reflecting the historical, cultural, and social values associated with the clubs and their respective cities. Key components such as colors, symbols, and text, which are distinctive to each logo, play a significant role. This study contributes to the fields of cultural studies, semiotics, sports branding, and identity representation in visual communication and design. By exploring the semiotic depth of football logos, it bridges cultural semiotics and sports branding, uncovering often-overlooked narratives and enhancing both academic and fan perspectives on logo symbolism.

Abstract

Effective communication between teachers and students plays a crucial role in the success of the learning process. Poor communication can hinder the delivery of material, making the learning process less engaging. One method to enhance learning engagement is through the use of strip story media. This medium is practical, simple, and enjoyable, supporting both teachers and students in creating a dynamic learning environment. This study aims to investigate the effect of using strip story media on students' learning outcomes in social studies. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The results showed that the average score of students using strip story media was 80, higher than the control group's average score of 95. Statistical analysis using the Independent Sample t-Test indicated a significant effect, with the calculated t-value (t_calculated = 9.149) exceeding the critical t-value (t_table = 2.564) and a significance level (Sig = 0.000) below 0.05. This led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha), confirming that strip story media significantly impacts the social studies learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 080 Panyabungan. In conclusion, strip story media positively and significantly affects students' learning outcomes. The findings imply the need for integrating innovative teaching media like strip stories to enhance learning. Future research could explore its application in other subjects or educational levels to expand its benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of signs on Nivea Men product packaging, focusing on their interpretation and effectiveness in delivering persuasive messages. Employing Charles Sanders Peirce’s Triadic Relation Theory, a qualitative method was used to examine product categories and their connection to everyday experiences. Data were collected through observation and documentation from Nivea Men’s official website, then analyzed using triadic theory and persuasion methods. The results reveal that signs significantly influence consumer interpretation and the persuasive value of products, although some signs do not fully align with their intended meanings. This study highlights the importance of designing clear and purposeful signs to enhance advertising strategies and consumer understanding. Future research should focus on refining semiotic and persuasion techniques to align signs more effectively with product identity and market needs.
