“…However, a few studies only focus on Japanese politeness by Indonesian learners, such as Wahyuningtias (2014), who explored Indonesian and Japanese native-speaker e-mail communication. Nurjaleka (2019) analyzed the difference between Japanese native speakers and Indonesian learners in giving reasons for refusing speech as a politeness strategy. Furthermore, no study has been found exploring socio-pragmatic skills by Indonesian learners of Japanese.…”

This study explores how learners of Japanese as a foreign language in Indonesia comprehend and use Japanese politeness. Many linguists mentioned that socio-pragmatic skills can be developed in a classroom. This skill is essential for L2 learners to master communication in L2, such as how to build and express turn-taking, eye contact and give attention to the interlocutors. Therefore, this study aims to prove whether Indonesian learners of Japanese could use appropriate socio-pragmatic skills, focusing on Japanese politeness in a conversation setting. The subjects are 120 students from two universities whose level of Japanese skills is on the A2-B1 CERF level. We use the role-play method and set a one-on-one conversation/interview setting. Our findings demonstrate that most Indonesian students had difficulty comprehending the concept of ‘Tachiba’, meaning the place where one stands in a Japanese conversation. Most student participants could not yet grasp the social and interaction level. However, in some cases, Japanese politeness in context meaning is found.

This research focused on the application of the design science research approach in terms of developing GeoLab's mobile learning application for Geography Education in the context of higher education in Indonesia. GeoLab facilitates learning in the field of Geography Education on mobile devices. This application supports learning that can be accessed anywhere in higher education. Even this application provides interactive learning media with a 360-degree video display using Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality features. The first part of this paper describes the analysis, design, and implementation of activities related to GeoLab's development. In addition, this study discussed the characteristics and scope of GeoLab's compliance with the nature and ideas of design science research. We evaluated GeoLab' in real learning, and an experiment was conducted with 126 second-year undergraduate students at a university in Indonesia. This study evaluates the feasibility, effectiveness, and ability of GeoLab' in Geography Education. We conducted a Usability Testing test on GeoLab applications'. The purpose of this Usability Testing is to assess the capabilities of GeoLab applications. Testing using Usability Testing, one of the Usability measurement tools, is the USE Questionnaire, which is divided into three main parameters, namely Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use. The results of this study show that the GeoLab application can be considered easy to use by users in Geography learning based on the results of Usability Testing using the USE Questionnaire measurement device. This research offers suggestions on how to implement mobile learning that supports learning in the Geography Education curriculum.

“…Several relevant previous studies have explored speech acts including criticism speech acts in cross-cultural contexts involving Japanese, Indonesian and regional languages in Indonesia. These studies cover various aspects, such as studies of directive speech act strategies in Japanese and Minangkabau focusing on politeness (Putri & Haristiani, 2021), Japanese and Javanese greeting terms (Rahayu et al, 2023), refusal speech acts in the context of politeness between native Japanese speakers and Japanese Indonesian language learners (Nurjaleka, 2019), interlanguage apology and complaint speech acts in Japanese and English (Tamanaha, 2003), expressions of reference used in Malay and Japanese speech acts (Okubo et al, 2022), speech acts from a referential perspective in German and Japanese (Matoba, 1996), and a study of Japanese language apology speech acts by Javanese and Sundanese Japanese learners (Savana & Meisa, 2021). Regarding politeness, Japanese speakers tend to use negative politeness strategies, while other contrasting languages such as Chinese, English, Indonesian, and Sundanese prefer positive politeness strategies (see e.g., Abe, 2006;Haristiani et al, 2021;Ikeda, 1993;Nurjaleka, 2019).…”

Criticism tends to be a face-threatening speech act that can endanger social relationships if not managed using appropriate strategies, especially in the intercultural context. This study aims to compare and contrast the politeness of criticism speech acts used in Japanese and Minangkabau languages as depicted in film series. The data on criticism speech acts in this study were collected from eleven Japanese film series with a total duration of 538 minutes and eight Minangkabau films with a total duration of 535 minutes. The collected data were formed into a set of data cards, classified based on the criticism speech acts strategies by Nguyen (2005), and analyzed based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The data classification in Japanese and Minangkabau was validated through the expert judgment process. The findings indicated that the Japanese and Minangkabau languages employed the same set of criticism speech act strategies but have different tendencies. In Japanese, speakers tend to use indirect strategies as their main criticism speech act strategy by ‘asking/presupposing,’ ‘correction,’ and ‘advice for change.’ Meanwhile, in Minangkabau, speakers tend to use direct strategies by using ‘negative evaluation,’ ‘expression of contradiction,’ and ‘disagreement’ strategies. Regarding the politeness strategy, off-record politeness strategies are more dominantly used among Japanese speakers. In contrast, Minangkabau speakers use bald on-record politeness strategies in criticism speech acts, reflecting their communication culture. The findings of this study provide a deeper understanding of criticism speech act and politeness strategies. The study is expected to contribute to the area of research on intercultural communication and Sociolinguistics.
