Authors:Via Luviana Dewanty, Dewi Kusrini, Renindra Atsilah Putri Pages: 1 - 10 Abstract: The study was aimed to discover the form of comics used in language learning and the development process, as well as the style of the Comic suitable with the interest of Japanese language students used in the previous study, which is expected to elaborate types of necessary research in the future for Japanese language teaching material development. There were 20 articles reviewed related to comics development for language learning. Based on the review result, it was found that 1) There are two types of comics, namely 1-Panel Comic used to explain one specific material and 4-Panel Comic used for conversation materials. However, there has yet any research related to comics development in the form of comic books; 2) In terms of process, both types of comics are formulated and developed by referring to a curriculum and learning plan so that the comics may assist students in understanding learning material; 3) Comic styles discussed in previous researches refer to American comic style, and thus less suitable to be used as Japanese language learning materials. The style used in Japanese comics is predicted to be more attractive for Japanese language students. However, there has yet any scientific study on the development of Japanese style comics in Japanese language learning.

Authors:Poppy Rahayu, Frida Philiyanti, Farah Krisna Dewi Pages: 11 - 22 Abstract: This study aims to determine what forms of social problems exist in Tetsuya Nakashima's Kokuhaku film. These causal factors trigger these problems and how to solve the problem using a literary sociology approach. This study employs Wellek and Warren's sociological theory of literary works and Soekanto's theory of existence, sources, and techniques for solving social problems. This study employs a descriptive-analytic method and data gathering procedures gleaned from a literature review. According to the study's findings, there are 27 social problems in Tetsuya Nakashima's Kokuhaku film, including 15 data on societal norm violations in the form of child delinquency, eight difficulties with family disintegration, three crime problems, and one bureaucracy problem. In this video, two causes generate social problems: psychological factors and cultural aspects. Authoritarian measures solve the majority of the social problems in this film.

Authors:Alo Karyati Pages: 23 - 31 Abstract: This study examines the role of women in chanoyu or the Japanese tea ceremony contained in the novel "The Life An Amarous Man" by Ihara Saikaku. This novel tells how the role of women (maids) in entertaining guests, making tea and attracting guests to come to the "tea house" or tea house. Chanoyu, in this novel, takes place in a tea house where the servants are a woman (maid). Chanoyu is one of the Japanese tea drinking cultures that is still preserved. Japan is rich in various traditional cultures still practised today, one of which is the chanoyu culture. Chanoyu is a literary activity in culture. So that chanoyu is very closely related to literature because, in the Chanoyu process, there are noble values, such as Japanese ritual activities, which are very sacred and have stages as elements in the Japanese teachings of patience and tenacity well as never giving up. These noble values are part of literature. The formulation of the problem in this study relates to the role of women as maids in the tea house, and the position of the tea house is identical to chanoyu.

Authors:Lathiifah Triana Dewi, Ai Sumirah Setiawati, Rina Supriatnaningsih, Andy Moorad Oesman Pages: 32 - 41 Abstract: The study aimed to test the effectiveness of flashcards on the Memory learning web on improving students' Japanese vocabulary skills and students' responses to media. This research uses True Experimental Design with Posttest–Only Control Group Design. Data collection techniques using test methods and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used the Mann Whitney–U formula. The calculation results obtained an average value of 80.53 in the experimental group and 70.05 in the control group. The results of the Mann Whitney–U test were obtained by Asymp. Sig. (2–tailed) 0.031 < 0.05, indicating that the average score of the experimental group and control group students had a significant difference. It can be concluded that flashcards on the verified Memory learning web effectively increase students' Japanese vocabulary. Then from the questionnaire data, it can be seen that Memory has interesting multimedia features. However, the effectiveness of Memory has not given optimal effect. This is known from the difference in the score interval on the posttest results, which is too obvious, namely 93. The inequality is related to the independence and intensity of students using Memory which is still rare. PubDate: 2022-03-27 DOI: 10.15294/chie.v10i1.52240 Issue No:Vol. 10, No. 1 (2022)
Authors:Risa Yuliani Pages: 42 - 51 Abstract: The Hada Labo cosmetic advert shows something different by showing a model far from the standard of physical beauty that Japanese society believes. This ad tries to represent beauty from a different angle by highlighting skin beauty and self-confidence. So the purpose of this study is to find out whether the representation of women's beauty in Hada Labo advertisements using the main female model tends to deviate and even contradict the beauty standards of Japanese society. The researcher uses Stuart Hall's representation theory approach, which uses a constructionist approach that is in line with Roland Barthes' semiotic theory so that to analyze the data, Roland Barthes' semiotic theory is used. The concept of beauty used is the concept of Naomi Wolf. So that the study results were found, namely, in this advertisement, female beauty is represented far and even better than the myth of ideal beauty standards created by the mass media and the general public today. Lack of self-confidence and the tendency to compare one's appearance with the appearance of others are things that women often do.

Authors:Aliffia rachmawati, Ismatul Khasanah Pages: 52 - 60 Abstract: The form of a language can change over time given its dynamic nature; broadly speaking, that is the discussion in the field of sociolinguistics. Mastery of more than one language causes deviations, one of which is when expressing words from certain languages by inserting sounds from other languages. This phenomenon is called phonological interference. This study takes data from Japanese speakers who speak Indonesian on the YouTube page. This study aims to analyze forms and describe the factors that cause phonological interference when speaking Indonesian. This research uses the descriptive qualitative analysis method. After going through the analysis process, it was found that the forms of phonological interference that occur include: addition, subtraction, letter replacement, and diphthongs. Based on the analysis of the forms of phonological interference that occur, it can be seen that the causal factors are differences in nasal sounds between Indonesian and Japanese, the use of open syllables, differences in writing methods, the absence of certain fellowship patterns, the duration of studying Indonesian and the presence of factors other than linguistics. So it can be said that the first language of a person greatly affects the pronunciation of the individual's second language.

Authors:Yuniarsih -, Sudjianto -, Fitri Fauziyyah Pages: 61 - 70 Abstract: This study aims to describe politeness when performing speech acts in business using Leech's theory of politeness principles. The research object is the speech data of business people when interacting within one company or between companies. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research because it aims to describe linguistic phenomena naturally. Politeness is a rule of behavior determined and mutually agreed upon by a particular community, so politeness is also an agreed requirement in social behavior. In their interactions, business people must be polite. This is reflected in his speech with the perpetrator of the speech act. The study results indicate that in addition to being grammatically correct in terms of the form of Keigo itself, it must pay attention to language politeness. In general, using Keigo in business conversations in various social speech contexts emphasizes simplicity and respect. In addition, it also prioritizes wisdom and sympathy.
