Abstract

The demand for nursing professionals in Germany is increasing, making the mastery of medical German highly essential. However, learning media that specifically present clinical dialogues in hospitals are still limited. This study aims to develop and describe the creation process of an interactive German digital comic themed "Im Krankenhaus" using the generative AI application Gemini. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) based on the Richey and Klein model, which includes planning, creation, and evaluation phases. During the process, Gemini was used to construct dialogue scripts and generate visual illustrations, Canva was utilized for layout design, and FlipHTML5 was used to publish the interactive comic. The results show that the main obstacle of AI, which is visual inconsistency, can be resolved using the image to image prompting technique. Upon validation, the product received a score of 90% from the material expert, with a note to adjust the language level from A2 to B1/B2 to meet medical communication standards, and 95% from the media expert. Overall, the comic is categorized as highly feasible. The implication is that generative AI significantly accelerates the production of functional learning media relevant to the communication needs of nursing students, although the human role remains crucial as the final decision maker.

Abstract

Abstract. Indonesia is characterized by a rich cultural diversity, which includes various traditions with symbolic significance. One such tradition, which is still practiced today by the Batak-Mandailing community in the South Labuhanbatu Regency, is the “Manulak Sere” tradition, which forms part of the traditional wedding ceremony. The aim of this study is to identify the symbols used in the “Manulak Sere” tradition and to analyze their meanings based on Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory. The study was conducted using a descriptive-qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, interviews with three traditional leaders representing the Mora, Kahanggi, and Anak Boru, and through documentation. The results identify fourteen symbols in the “Manulak Sere” tradition, namelyBatang Boban/Mahar, Piring (plate), Kain Adat (traditional cloth), Beras Kuning (yellow rice), Keris, Uang Logam (coins), Silua/Oleh-oleh (souvenirs), Pulut Inti, Tepak, Napuran/Daun Sirih (betel leaves), Gambir, Kapur Siirh (betel lime), Pinang (areca nut), and Tembakau (tobacco). The analysis shows that each symbol has a signifier and a signified that represent cultural values such as responsibility, respect, cohesion, harmony, and counsel within the Batak Mandailing community. These findings contribute to the preservation of the cultural values embodied in the Manulak Sere tradition and enrich research on semiotics in local culture.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the representation of signs, denotative meanings, connotative meanings, and myths in the poetry collections Celana, Sudah Ya, Nak?, and Baju by Joko Pinurbo. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The data sources consisted of the poetry collections Celana, Sudah Ya, Nak?, and Baju by Joko Pinurbo, while the research data comprised words, phrases, lines, and stanzas containing semiotic elements. Data were collected through documentation using reading and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, interpretation of denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Joko Pinurbo utilizes everyday objects, such as trousers, clothes, the body, the home, and other domestic symbols, as media for conveying meaning. At the denotative level, the signs represent the literal functions of objects. At the connotative level, the signs convey meanings related to identity, social relationships, spirituality, family, social criticism, and human existence. At the mythical level, the poems represent cultural constructions concerning morality, religiosity, power, affection, and Indonesian social life. This study concludes that Joko Pinurbo's poems possess a complex system of signs that enables them to express philosophical reflections and social criticism through simple, symbolic, and aesthetically rich language.

Abstract

Music is a form of art that functions not only as entertainment but also as a medium for communication, conveying ideas, social criticism, cultural representation, and reflections of social reality. This study is motivated by the role of popular music in expressing social and cultural issues through meaningful symbols. The album Sinesthesia by Efek Rumah Kaca uses color as a central element in constructing meaning, with each color representing different social, emotional, and cultural experiences. This study aims to identify the forms of social color in the album Sinesthesia and analyze their meanings and functions using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory through three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth. This qualitative study employs a semiotic approach to interpret song lyrics, color symbols, and their social meanings through in-depth analysis. The research data consist of song lyrics from the album Sinesthesia, including Red, Blue, Orange, Green, White, and Yellow. The findings indicate that color symbols function not only as aesthetic elements but also as a sign system representing various social issues, including humanity, identity, power, social inequality, struggle, hope, and criticism of contemporary social conditions.

Abstract

Proficiency in the English language is essential for health students to convey health-related knowledge in both academic and professional settings. Environmental Health students could have challenges in verbal English, especially with fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatical precision, and engagement. This research sought to enhance students' communicative proficiency via Project-Based Learning (PjBL) by implementing health education initiatives in an English for Health curriculum. The research utilised Classroom Action Research with 25 Environmental Health students at STIKes HAKLI Semarang, executed in two cycles that included preparation, action, observation, and reflection. Quantitative information was gathered using an oral communication performance rubric, whilst qualitative insights were derived from observation, field notes, documentation, project outputs, and reflective practices. The results indicated that the average score for communicative competence rose from 72 in the initial phase to 78 in Cycle I and 81 in Cycle II. The percentage of pupils attaining a score of 75 or higher rose from 20% to 80%, with the most significant enhancement shown in interaction and fluency. These results indicate that Project-based Learning (PjBL) via contextual health education initiatives can offer significant opportunities for the active utilisation of English and enhance students' communicative proficiency in Environmental Health settings.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the pragmatic functions of English speech acts in the oral interactions of students at MAPK Syaikh Zainuddin Dormitory. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, digital audio recording, field notes, and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), based on Searle’s (1979) classification of illocutionary acts. The results of the study indicate that the student used four types of illocutionary acts: directive (45.2%), representative (25.8%), expressive (19.4%), and commissive (9.7%), whereas declarative speech acts were not found in the research data. Directive speech acts are used to give instructions, ask for help, and remind others about the use of English; representative speech acts are used to convey information and explain situations; expressive speech acts are used to express the speaker’s willingness or commitment. The predominance of directive speech acts indicates that the students’ communication is largely oriented toward managing daily activities, while differences in language use between the male and female dormitories, as well as limited vocabulary, also influence the types of speech acts that emerge. These findings demonstrate that the dormitory environment plays a significant role in shaping the students’ natural patterns of English language use. This study is expected to enrich pragmatic research on English speech acts in non-formal contexts within boarding school setting.
