Abstract

This article discusses whether real-time language translation tools, such as Google Translate or similar online applications, prove effective in English language education, particularly in Thailand. Here, although English proficiency grows increasingly vital in this new globalizing world, students in Thailand are still falling behind in their efforts to master the language. Time-honored teaching methods generally have failed to address the issues at hand, with the greatest problems occurring where pupils have little exposure at school. AI-powered real-time language translation may be a solution to that problem by providing immediate translations that will help bridge the gap created by current abilities and requirements imposed by the need to learn the English language. This article aims to discuss how these tools influence the process of learning, including overcoming language barriers. It also delves into the perceptions of educators and learners in the use of such tools within a classroom. To gain insight, it will conduct some qualitative interviews with two practicing English teachers and two students who have had practical experience using real-time translation tools in their learning environment. These interviews will provide valuable insights into the practical applications, benefits, and challenges associated with the use of AI-powered translation tools in teaching the English language. Indeed, the results from this study show that real-time translation tools can enhance students' comprehension and confidence in using English. Teachers said that this scaffolding was particularly helpful in reaching complex texts and unknown lexis with a minimum loss of frustration and anxiety linked with language learning. For the students, on the other hand, the tools provided immediate support for their most pressing needs, thus enabling them to take part in class discussions and assignments with more enthusiasm. This means that the students were able to learn from their mistakes immediately with real-time translation tools. It also helped reinforce the understanding of the language in their minds. However, the study has some drawbacks of using real-time translation tools. Teachers and students alike are concerned with the accuracy of the translations, especially with idiomatic expressions or cultural nuances that AI would not understand. There is also a chance that they will become overly reliant on these tools at the expense of internal development of language problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of nonverbal communication in the learning process within higher education. Nonverbal communication, including eye contact, gestures, facial expressions, and body language, plays a crucial role in enhancing student engagement, comprehension, and classroom dynamics. The research employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews with 50 students and classroom observations. The findings indicate that positive nonverbal behaviors from instructors—such as maintaining eye contact, using gestures, and showing enthusiasm—significantly enhance students' attention and motivation. Additionally, nonverbal communication was found to help clarify complex concepts, supporting student understanding. However, the study also highlights the need for cultural sensitivity, as students from diverse backgrounds may interpret nonverbal cues differently. Furthermore, the challenges of online and hybrid learning environments emphasize the necessity for educators to adapt their communication strategies, relying more on vocal cues and digital tools to maintain student engagement. The research concludes that nonverbal communication is essential for effective teaching and should be emphasized in professional development programs for educators. By focusing on these strategies, higher education can create more inclusive and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This research leverages Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with the Frobenius norm to analyze news articles from Kompas about the relocation of Indonesia's capital to Nusantara. The study is significant as it provides insights into public and media perceptions documented by Kompas, identifies critical issues surrounding this transformative national project, and demonstrates the utility of NMF in analyzing Indonesian-language news texts, particularly in the context of public policy and media discourse. A dataset of news articles related to Ibu Kota Nusantara was preprocessed through cleaning, normalization, stemming/lemmatization, and tokenization to prepare it for topic modeling. Using TF-IDF for feature extraction, Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with Frobenius norm as the loss function was applied to generate topics, which were evaluated based on coherence scores and manual analysis for relevance and interpretability. This study identified five distinct topics related to Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) from Kompas news articles during January-March 2024, covering community preparations, toll road developments, buffer zone status, groundbreaking events, and ASN housing. Using the NMF model and c_uci coherence scoring, the study achieved a high coherence score of 0.991, indicating semantically connected terms that facilitate topic interpretation. The alignment between Wordcloud and NMF results demonstrates both methods' focus on significant terms, with Wordcloud highlighting key words and NMF providing a deeper structural analysis of topic interrelations.

Abstract

Kamasan tourist village presents painting as a tourist destination. The painting art in question is Classical Wayang painting which originated during the reign of King Dalem Waturenggong (1386-1460). It can be said that the art of Classical Wayang Painting is a cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation which has its own characteristics, namely, displaying pieces of stories taken from the Sutasoma Book, such as the Mahabrata, Ramayana and Tantri stories. The colors in Kamasan Classical Wayang paintings are usually taken from natural colors, for example for white using crushed bones, for black using charcoal which is then mixed with adhesive so it can stick to the canvas. Kamasan Wayang paintings use two dimensions, length and width, there is no perspective, so that you can't see far up and down, while the objects painted are like wayang, flat without perspective or depth. The style of the Kamasan Classical Wayang painting is quite easy to recognize, the basic color is light brown, taken from limestone. For black, use soot. However, as time went by, painters used watercolors to make them more vibrant. This product is one element of the running of tourism activities, but along with this, the running of tourism activities cannot be separated from various strategies that have been carried out both by the government and cannot be separated from the role of the community in supporting the running of this tourist village. One of the strategies that has been implemented in developing the Kamasan tourist village is the marketing communications management using direct and indirect marketing communications with a marketing communications mix model. Marketing communication management carried out by Wayang Kamasan painters to increase sales by using a communication mix (marketing mix). Direct marketing communication activities carried out by Wayang Kamasan painters such as distributing business cards and word of mouth promotion. However, it seems that Wayang Kamasan painters are more dominant in marketing communications via social media such as Instagram, TikTok and websites. Kamasan Wayang Painter carries out marketing communications with a marketing communications mix with 4Ps, namely, (1) Product. There are several products being marketed, such as: 1. Wayang Kamasan paintings 2. Keben or sok kasi 3. Fans 4. Drinking bottles 5. T-shirts 6. Bags or tote bags 95 Apart from the products that Wayang Kamasan painters prepare, namely, (2) Price. Price is the amount of money charged for a product or service which can be interpreted as the price being the amount that consumers must pay when making a purchase. As a self-employed Wayang Kamasan painter, he sells products and services simultaneously at prices that can compete in the market. (3) Promotion is an activity to disseminate information. Kamasan Wayang Painters carry out direct and indirect promotions starting from distributing business cards, and promoting through social media such as Instagram, TikTok and providing a website for the shopping process. (4) Place, the fourth point in the marketing communication strategy for Wayang Kamasan painters is a place, used as a place to produce products as well as an art shop. For each art shop, Wayang Kamasan painters provide signboards to make it easier for potential customers to find the location they want to go to.

Abstract

This research focused on identifying and describing the linguistic forms, meanings, and functions of jargon used by waiters in restaurants. Conducted through a qualitative approach, the study explored waiter jargons in both spoken and written formats. The participants were waitstaff from a high-end restaurant. Data collection methods included observation, documentation, and interviews. The findings revealed that the jargon appeared as abbreviations, phrases, and specific terms. The meanings were discerned by examining their technical contexts. Moreover, the study uncovered two main functions of the jargon: (1) providing a specialized language to enhance communication efficiency, and (2) fostering group solidarity. The conclusion drawn from this study is that jargon serves as a means for the community to express their collective identity and maintain their unique linguistic practices.

Abstract

The existence of misleading and false advertisements for traditional health services from unqualified and incompetent sources has led the central and regional governments in Bali to issue a policy banning the advertisement of traditional health services by healers or practitioners of traditional medicine who are considered to lack professional competence. In its implementation, this policy still finds many traditional healers advertising in the field, so a study needs to be conducted to provide a good understanding for traditional healers and the community to avoid misleading traditional health advertisements. This research uses a normative method, with a case and legislative approach to examine the nature of the policy banning advertising for traditional healers and the impacts it has on traditional healers and the community as users of the traditional health advertising ban policy implemented in central and regional legal products. Overall, the policy banning the advertising of traditional health services by traditional healers in Bali aims to protect public health and safety, improve the quality of traditional health services, and maintain a balance between traditional and modern medicine in Bali. By limiting excessive promotion, the government hopes to encourage safe, responsible, and integrated traditional medicine practices within the modern healthcare system. This will provide greater benefits to the Balinese community in obtaining comprehensive and quality healthcare services. The impact of the advertising ban on Traditional Healers generally reduces the number of services provided to the community, while for the service-using community, this ban has a positive effect by providing information and education about traditional health services from expert and competent sources.

Abstract

This study explores the economic potential and challenges of community-based tourism management in Subak Teba Majelangu, a rural area in Bali, Indonesia, known for its UNESCO-listed Subak irrigation system. The paper examines how integrating local wisdom, particularly the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (harmony with nature, fellow humans, and spirituality), can guide sustainable tourism practices while fostering community empowerment. The Subak system, a complex agricultural water management method, is not only an important cultural asset but also a significant driver of eco-tourism, offering a unique opportunity to balance environmental conservation with economic development. This qualitative research combines a literature review, interviews with local stakeholders, and case study analysis. Findings suggest that community-based tourism in Subak Teba Majelangu holds considerable economic potential through direct revenue from eco-tourism activities, local handicrafts, and agricultural produce. The involvement of the community in tourism management ensures the equitable distribution of benefits, enhances cultural pride and supports sustainable practices. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited capacity in tourism management, and external pressures from mass tourism threaten the long-term sustainability of the initiative. The study further explores how local wisdom embedded in the Tri Hita Karana philosophy supports the integration of sustainable tourism practices. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony between tourism development, cultural preservation, and environmental protection. By fostering a shared vision for tourism management and investing in capacity-building, Subak Teba Majelangu can mitigate the negative impacts of tourism while maximizing its economic benefits. In conclusion, Subak Teba Majelangu presents a valuable model for sustainable, community-based tourism that can be replicated in other regions. Its success depends on continuous collaboration among local communities, government authorities, and external partners. The research highlights the critical need for strategic planning, infrastructure development, and education to ensure the preservation of both cultural heritage and natural resources while supporting local economic growth.

Abstract

Financial fraud remains one of the most pervasive challenges in the corporate world, undermining the credibility of financial statements and eroding trust among investors, regulators, and the general public. This study aims to bridge the gap between global anti-fraud strategies and their applicability in Indonesia by providing a comprehensive analysis of the causes and potential solutions for fraudulent financial reporting in Indonesia. The study adopts a literature review approach to synthesize findings across selected literature. The findings highlight systemic issues such as structural and procedural factors such as weak internal controls, lack of regulatory enforcement, and cultural dynamics that discourage whistleblowing, making it an ideal backdrop for examining fraudulent financial reports in Indonesia. Despite significant strides made in improving corporate governance in Indonesia, enforcement remains a pressing challenge in combating financial fraud. Technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, offer promising solutions for addressing fraudulent behaviour.

Abstract

The study focused on analyzing the use of jargon in hotel advertisements in Bali, with data limited to 10 instances. Its objectives were to identify the forms of jargon, determine the most dominant form, and understand the reasons behind their use. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings revealed two forms of jargon based on Halligan's theory, along with the discovery of jargon in sentence form. Of the 10 instances, there was 1 occurrence of word forms, 3 of phrase forms, and 6 of sentence forms. Acronyms and abbreviations were not present. The analysis indicated that sentence forms were the most dominant, accounting for 6 occurrences or 60%. This dominance is attributed to their ability to convey information clearly and precisely to the audience—in this case, the customers. The primary goal was to ensure that the information delivered through jargon was both unambiguous and appropriately informative.

Abstract

Bilingualism has become a crucial component of modern education, reflecting the growing importance of linguistic and cultural diversity in an increasingly globalized world. While numerous studies highlight the cognitive, social, and academic benefits of bilingualism, the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical applications in educational settings remains significant. This study aims to examine the multifaceted advantages of bilingualism in education, with a focus on its impact on cognitive development, academic performance, and intercultural communication. Utilizing a literature review methodology, this research synthesizes findings from recent studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of how bilingualism enhances learning outcomes. Data were collected and analyzed from peer-reviewed journal articles, focusing on research published between 2015 and 2023. The analysis reveals that bilingual students demonstrate superior problem-solving skills, memory retention, and adaptability in comparison to their monolingual peers. Furthermore, bilingualism fosters empathy and intercultural competence, enabling students to navigate diverse social environments effectively. Despite these advantages, the study identifies challenges in the integration of bilingual programs, such as resource limitations and inconsistencies in implementation across schools. The findings underscore the need for policymakers and educators to bridge the gap between theory and practice by designing inclusive bilingual education models. In conclusion, bilingualism offers transformative potential for modern education by promoting cognitive, social, and cultural growth, thereby preparing students to thrive in a multilingual global society.
