Abstract

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

Abstract

Abstract. Learning Indonesian language is one of subjects that has to be understood by foreign students in Batam. However, the learning process sometimes could not run well because of foreign students’ ability in learning Indonesian language was still low. Hence, this research aims at analyzing the learning difficulties of foreign students in learning Indonesian language.This research employs mixed methods. Furthermore, this research conducted in one of private schools in Batam with a total of 25 foreign students. The authors distributed questionnaires and conducted interviews to obtain the data. The results shows that there were several difficulties faced by the foreign students in learning Indonesian language such as difficulties in learning speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills and pronouncing Indonesian words. It can be concluded that these difficulties arose due to differences in cultural and language background, lack of time to learn and practice, as well as BIPA materials which they found very challenging. The authors hope that the teachers can improve their motivation in learning Indonesian language by providing interesting learning materials. Keywords: Indonesian Language, Foreign speakers, Learning Program, Learning Difficulties

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to find out linguistic errors contained in the translation results from Indonesian into German produced by students using Google Translate. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, defining, interpreting and correcting linguistic errors that appear in the results of Indonesian translations into German with the help of Google Translate. The data collection technique was through giving a translation test to 16 fifth semester students. This research found that several errors, such as errors in choosing words that were not appropriate to the context, using inappropriate sentence structure or rules, were caused by differences in language rules between Indonesian and German. Google Translate in this case is indeed very helpful for translators in translating during the translation process, but translators must be aware that the translations produced by Google Translate still require improvements, especially in terms of choosing the right words according to the context and arranging sentences correctly. Keywords: Translation, Translate, Google Translate, Indonesian, German

Abstract

Abstrak. The phenomenon of interference occurs in sociolinguistics when one language or dialect impacts another. This study was conducted with the objective to shed light on the specific types of phonological interference experienced by students in a multilingual class at MAN Kota Palangka Raya. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, this investigation focused on the phonological aspects influenced by students' native languages—Banjarese and Dayakese. The research revealed that students exhibit tendencies of Sound Addition, Sound Omission, and Sound Replacement across both language groups as they navigate between their mother tongues and English. The findings stress the complexities involved in English language teaching in environments where students' linguistic backgrounds are diverse. Understanding the nature of phonological interference can equip educators with the necessary tools to develop pedagogical strategies that are attuned to the linguistic challenges faced by multilingual students. This, in turn, can aid in fostering a more effective and inclusive approach to language education that helps diminish language acquisition barriers attributed to the influence of the learners' first languages. Keywords: Interference, Multilingual, Sound Addition, Sound Omission, Sound Replacement.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to investigate culture representation through visual images in a Korean as a foreign language textbook for Indonesian students. It specifically exhibits how cultures are represented through visual images and how they are implicated to KFL learning. Culture and language are closely related, and understanding the cultural values underlying the target language can greatly affect the effectiveness of the learning process. Even though this topic has been the subject of substantial prior research, many have not been explored in the context of Korean textbooks as learning foreign languages. The method used in this study was qualitative using a multimodal discourse analysis. The data were analyzed using the image representation mode of Kress van Leeuwen (KvL). The data were collected from visual images showing cultural identities such as gender roles and ideology, contained in each chapter of the Korea Foundation Level 1 textbook, focused on the speaking (Malhagi) and cultural sections. The results of the data analysis show that cultural representation is dominated by Korean culture in both animated and non-animated images. However, the social role of people's lives represented in the picture corresponds to Indonesia and some pictures are found to be relevant to Indonesia, as the religion of the majority of Indonesians is depicted in the book. Almost all images are illustrated with animated visuals. Male gender is more heavily highlighted than female gender, rendering gender bias. This is related to the Confucian principles that exist in South Korea. Apart from the ulterior motives, the existence of Korean language learning textbooks for Indonesians provides benefits as a multimodal learning medium and helps teachers and students as a support medium for teaching and learning purposes. Keywords: Visual Language, Representation Mode, Multimodal Discourse, Culture

Abstract

Abstract. In educational settings, one effort to mitigate effects of climate change is through the display of Linguistic Landscapes (LLs). The signage can bring about changes and contribute to good practices to avert and reduce the impact of climate change (CC). Therefore, this study aims to find out the sign patterns and to describe the language use in the LLs related to CC. This study documented 351 signs in four senior high schools in Kebumen, Central Java, Indonesia, which were then qualitatively portrayed. To reveal the language used in LSs related to CC, the data were classified based on language patterns. The findings of the study show that the sign patterns applied in CC LSs are monolingual and bilingual patterns involving Indonesian, English, French, and Javanese with Indonesian as the dominant language, English and French as foreign languages, and Javanese as the leased used language. Meanwhile, in terms of language use related to CC Indonesian is used as communication and translation function to deliver CC messages, English and French are used as media to learn languages and to deliver international topics related to CC, and Javanese is used to maintain both its language and the environment. This study has shown that LSs to some extent contribute to the community's adaptation and mitigation to climate change by lowering the impact and cause of the crisis. Keywords: Climate Change, Linguistic Landscape, Linguistic Schoolscape, Language Use
