Abstract. This research aims to acquire data and information regarding the reading and writing competencies of college students in the German language, using Google Classroom as a teaching medium. The design employed in this study is a mixed methods approach. The research was conducted within the German Language Education Program, Department of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Language and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, involving 30 fourth-semester students as the research sample. Qualitative data were obtained through participatory observation by the researcher, who observed the activities of German language learning using Google Classroom. Meanwhile, quantitative data were obtained from the average reading and writing competence test scores in the German language and t-test results. The results of participatory observation indicate that Google Classroom serves as a platform and learning space and indirectly as a tool for students to download and access course materials and complete quizzes, thereby enhancing language competency. Indirectly, this platform has become a supportive companion for students learning the German language. The quantitative data analysis revealed that students' average reading competency score is 88.8, while the writing competency score is 85.2. The t-test results also indicate that the calculated t-value for reading competency (10.975) and writing competency (8.292) is greater than the tabulated t-table (1.714). This disparity suggests that Google Classroom effectively assesses the exploration of reading and writing competencies in the German language among students.

Abstract. The portrayal of gender in advertising has a significant impact on societal gender norms and roles. This study analyses gender portrayals in TikTok advertisements for various products and services. A random sample of 1000 TikTok advertisements for food and beverages, fashion, technology, and finance in the English language was examined. The investigation assessed the gender, functions, and commercial language of characters. The study employed corpus and quantitative analysis. AntConc corpus analysis software was used to capture the data. The research discovered that Indonesian online marketing perpetuates gender stereotypes, specifically by depicting women as passive houseworkers. However, masculine characters were frequently portrayed as aggressive and dominant. The gender representation of products and services varied. Even in English advertisements, the findings shed light on the complexities of gender portrayal in Indonesian internet marketing. Advertisements narrated in English may reflect more egalitarian attitudes on the part of ad creators, but male and female roles continue to imply gender inequality. This highlights the importance of gender equality in online marketing awareness and partnership in Indonesia. To promote diversity and gender equality across all product categories, advertisers and corporations must analyze their promotional language thoroughly. This study also highlights the need for larger sample sizes and additional data in order to completely comprehend gender representation patterns in Indonesian online marketing. The study emphasizes the significance of combating gender stereotypes and promoting gender equality and diversity in global media. Keywords: English, Gender Representation, Online Advertisement, Corpus Analysis, Tiktok
