Abstract

Effective Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) instruction for elementary school children can be enhanced through the use of engaging audiovisual media relevant to Indonesian culture. This study presents an audiovisual-based BIPA learning model focused on introducing traditional clothing from provinces in Sumatera. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach and is designed as a creative teaching concept rather than empirical research. In this approach, upper elementary students (ages 11-12 level A2) are shown audiovisual content featuring traditional clothing, followed by a picture-guessing activity to identify the displayed attire. After that, the students present the philosophical meaning of the traditional clothing. This strategy aims to make it easier for beginning BIPA learners to understand and retain new vocabulary related to Indonesian culture, particularly Sumatera. The use of audiovisual media is expected to increase student interest, while the picture-guessing activity reinforces memory and comprehension of the material. This culture-based learning approach is also anticipated to be engaging and contextual, aligning with the communicative and meaningful language learning needs of young learners. Keywords: BIPA, audivisual media, traditional clothing, Sumatera island, elementary school

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of local culture on English code-mixing practices on social media, particularly among young users in Indonesia. Using critical discourse analysis, the study examines digital texts (captions, comments, and posts) collected from platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. The findings suggest that local cultural aspects such as traditional meals, local holidays, regional languages, and popular cultural symbols regularly occur in code-mixing behaviors. Code-mixing is employed not only as a current communication style but also as a type of global (global and local) cultural identity manifestation. These findings show that local culture remains significant in the digital and global era and has a role in shaping the communication habits of future generations.

Abstract

This research looks into how the magical and real worlds exist side by side in Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare, using a postmodern perspective. It shows how both worlds interact and function within the same space and time. Drawing on Marcel Mauss’s theory of magic and postmodern ideas, the study reveals that magic in the novel isn’t shown as the opposite of reality, but rather as a parallel system that reflects similar structures and social patterns. The analysis suggests that postmodern stories often blur the lines between reality and fantasy, questioning fixed boundaries and supporting more flexible ways of understanding the world.
