Abstract

Advertising is one of the media used to promote a product. Balenciaga is one of the fashion brands that is very famous because the advertisements and products displayed have successfully generated controversy. The controversy arises because the signs used in the advertisement seem strange, unusual, and off the mark. These signs are analyzed using Roland Barthes' Theory. The purpose of this research is to find signs along with denotation meaning, connotation meaning, and myth in Balenciaga advertisements. Descriptive qualitative analysis is the method used. The results of the research show that the signs found in Balenciaga advertisements have denotation, connotation, and mythological meanings. The signs represent sexuality issues, war issues, environmental issues, and poverty issues.

Abstract

The golden age of the Abbasid Dynasty (750–1258 CE) was a crucial phase in the history of Islamic civilization, marked by rapid advances in science, education, and culture. The caliphs, particularly Harun al-Rashid and Al-Ma'mun, played a significant role in promoting scientific activity through the establishment of institutions such as the Baitul Hikmah, which served as centers for translation, libraries, and scientific development. Arabic developed into the primary language of science, replacing Greek and Syriac, and became a medium for the transmission and innovation of knowledge from various civilizations, such as Greece, Persia, and India. This study aims to analyze the role of Arabic language and literature as the main pillars of the progress of Islamic civilization during the Abbasid Dynasty. The method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through a literature study of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results show that Arabic not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a primary means of developing and producing knowledge, while Arabic literature developed rapidly through cross-cultural interactions and political support from the Caliphate. These findings confirm that intellectual progress during the Abbasid period significantly contributed to the development of global science and laid the foundation for modern civilization.

Abstract

This study investigates the English learning needs of Informatics students to support their academic and professional development in the digital era. A mixed-method descriptive survey design was employed to collect data from 120 first- and second-year Informatics students at YPIB University of Majalengka. Data were gathered through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The questionnaire demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.87. The findings reveal that students prioritize reading skills, particularly for understanding programming documentation, technical textbooks, and academic references. Speaking skills, especially for job interviews, workplace communication, and academic presentations, are also perceived as essential for professional readiness. In addition, students heavily rely on English in digital learning environments such as online tutorials, instructional videos, and software documentation. However, major challenges were reported, including limited technical vocabulary and low confidence in speaking English. The study concludes that existing English courses for Informatics students require redesigning to incorporate discipline-specific and digital-era ESP components. These findings not only enrich ESP needs analysis literature in technology-related disciplines but also offer practical guidance for redesigning English curricula responsive to digital-era academic and industry demands
