Language, Power, and Tourism: Media Representation of FORNAS KORMI as a Branding Strategy for Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara
Get PDFThis study examines how online media construct the representation of the National Recreational Sports Festival (FORNAS) organized by KORMI as a strategic instrument for tourism branding in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research explores linguistic choices, framing strategies, and discursive practices employed by national and local media in shaping public perceptions of the event. The analysis draws on news articles published between January and August 2025, covering pre-event, implementation, and post-event phases. Findings reveal that media discourse consistently links FORNAS with Lombok’s tourism identity, portraying the event as a celebration of cultural richness, natural beauty, and regional progress. Through selective diction, metaphors, and narrative structures, media outlets emphasize themes of festivity, economic benefit, and destination appeal while marginalizing critical issues such as infrastructure challenges and environmental concerns. The dominance of official voices further reinforces power relations that privilege government and tourism-industry interests. This study concludes that media coverage does not merely inform audiences but actively constructs symbolic meanings that strengthen Lombok’s branding as a leading sport-tourism destination. The findings underscore the strategic role of language, power, and discourse in shaping tourism imaginaries and policy directions
Characterization of Imagination Patterns in Students' Drawings Class 1 SDIT ALIF
Get PDFBackground: Learning art plays an important role in developing students' creative and imaginative abilities. Through art, students not only learn about techniques and aesthetics but also express their ideas, feelings, and imagination. Art education is realized in the form of visual arts, which can be enjoyed through the sense of sight. This enhances local cultural awareness, fosters appreciation for cultural values, and serves as a medium for creativity development and the generation of new ideas. Art also enables self-actualization and the cultivation of creativity. Imagination, often referred to as the ability to visualize, is the capacity to form new images or sensations that are not directly experienced through sight, hearing, or other senses. Among elementary school students, drawing is one of the most dominant dimensions of imagination. Through drawing, students engage in activities such as scribbling, sketching, and coloring objects, which results in meaningful visual representations.
Purpose: This article aims to explore the characterization of imaginative themes that emerge in drawings created by students.
Design and methods: The method used in this study is the Narrative Method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The Narrative Method, as applied here, follows Polkinghorne's model. Narrative research aims to explore and understand individual experiences through storytelling. Polkinghorne’s model provides an analytical framework consisting of three key components: theme, context (domain), and cognitive structure. Data collection techniques used in this study include interviews and documentation. This research focuses on identifying the characterization of imaginative themes that appear in the drawings of first-grade students at SDIT ALIF.
Results: The findings indicate that the principle of proximality is implemented by grouping nearby objects into patterns. This reflects a perceptual tendency wherein humans perceive closely positioned objects as part of a larger group or relationship. The principle of continuity suggests that individuals tend to view lines and patterns as unified or continuous entities. In the context of imagination, this means that people often form mental images of ideas or concepts in a continuous manner. For example, when imagining an object or scene, individuals tend to fill in the missing or unclear parts in their minds to create a completer and more coherent picture. Based on the discussion, the characterization of imaginative patterns in the drawings of first-grade students involves the senses of sight, hearing, touch, and taste

Effectiveness Evaluation of the Student Research Proposal Presentation Program at Scientific Writing Course
Get PDFHigher education increasingly emphasizes the importance of developing students' academic and professional abilities, including scientific communication and presentation skills. The research proposal presentation program is a strategic initiative in responding to these needs, but challenges in its implementation still exist. Evaluate the effectiveness of student research proposal presentation programs in the Scientific Writing course at UNINDRA and identify strengths and weaknesses in the delivery of material and student argumentation structure. Evaluative research involves collecting data from the results of presentation evaluations, feedback from lecturers or other participants, and assessing the quality of presentations. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques were used, with thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns or themes in participant feedback and evaluation. The evaluation showed that the research proposal presentation program provided significant benefits for lecturers and students. However, there are challenges in the learning process due to inadequate support in CPMK and material distribution. The high lecturer-student ratio also hinders the implementation of the ideal presentation. Internal obstacles such as lack of courage and suboptimal preparation of presentation materials also affect the quality of presentations. The need for adjustments in the preparation of the curriculum and teaching methods, including aligning the CPMK with the CPL and ensuring that the plan for the presentation of research proposals is included in the RPS. It is necessary to provide adequate time and improvement of presentation equipment to improve the quality of presentation and feedback. Better integration between CPMK and CPL will create a globally competitive generation of academics and professionals. Thus, this program can be more effective in achieving higher education goals in developing students' academic and professional abilities
