Committees



The Faculty of Liberal Arts Thammasat University (LATU) International Conference is held every two years by the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Thailand, to address current issues in research and pedagogy in humanities and social sciences and to promote and strengthen regional and global academic and research networks in the disciplines.

This year our conference seeks to explore the dynamism of superdiversity and coexistence in various domains in humanities and social sciences, which defines and at the same time poses challenges to the rapidly changing world. The conference will be a perfect platform for researchers, educators, and students to share and discuss their recent studies in specific research domains and provide the opportunity for participants to explore and establish connections with other research areas that ‘co-exist’ in a rich and diverse academic community that characterizes the Faculty of Liberal Arts and its affiliations.

Late modernity has created conditions for language to operate on two ‘levels’: pride and profit (Duchêne and Heller, 2011). On one hand, languages continue to function as raditional symbols of ethno-national identity (pride). On the other hand, languages are employed as commodified indexes of local places, people, practices and products (profit). This often leads to a tension between the desire to capitalize on and mass produce languages, cultures and identities for their purportedly unique or exotic character, while fulfilling the need to retain (or claim) their authenticity, ownership and legitimacy (Heller, Jaworski, Thurlow, 2014). In this talk, I introduce another key concept – prejudice – as a necessary corrective to the shift from pride to profit, especially in the context of tourism discourse. Drawing on different data sources (e.g. Hong Kong Tourism Board website; semiotic landscape of Hong Kong; guidebooks; newspaper and online travelogues), I examine the construction and ideologization of the city’s linguascape resulting in the ‘othering’ of local people. My analysis focuses on metadiscursive comments, performative recontextualizations and instances of mock Hong Kong English and Cantonese. I conclude by arguing that tourism is an important discursive terrain exploiting the political economy of languages to sustain hegemonic and standardizing language ideologies on a global scale.

Depok is a city located in West Java Province, Indonesia. In the colonial period, Depok was one of the cities that granted autonomy and a base for the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA). Thus, it has many colonial buildings, such as residential settlements, churches, and bridges. However, the city government does not make efforts to preserve the colonial buildings. A recent study shows almost 70 percent of colonial buildings have been demolished over the last decade due to city development and rapid modernization. This phenomenon can be categorized as an anti-colonial act by the local government. The Department of Archaeology, in collaboration with the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, Universitas Indonesia, is creating a pilot project called the Depok Heritage Project. This project has invited the descendants of Cornelis Chastelein’s slaves (a high-ranking VOC worker who owned a large plantation area in Depok) to give their perspectives on the colonial buildings in Depok. We find that our interviewees praise Cornelis Chastelein because he liberated their ancestors and introduced Christianity to them. In this paper, we argue that decolonization is not always anti-colonial, but can also tell colonial stories from a local perspective.

Teaching Indonesian, both language and culture, to Thai students has drawn attention to shared aspects with regards to manners and etiquette from both countries. As parts of eastern culture, Thailand and Indonesia practice similarities, especially in ways of interaction with others. However, some differences have also been found in daily life that need to be addressed to create better mutual understanding between the two nations. This paper tries to analyze common manners and etiquette from Thai students who have enrolled in the Indonesian course and discuss how to bridge differences in order to bring harmony in relation between Indonesian and Thai cultures. Emphatic engagement and practical approaches will be used to explain those realities. Aside from literature, minor questionnaires and interviews also will be conducted to support data collection.

Ancient bronze drums are found throughout the whole of Southeast Asia. The oldest ones were produced around 2700 years ago. Excavation, intentional or unintentional, of bronze drums began over a thousand years ago – the earliest record of an excavation is form Chinese written sources. But it was not until the late 19th century that European scholars started to excavate and recognize bronze drums as important archaeological remains, which among other things resulted in collections that we see today in museums, in Asia, Europe, and the US. This is also the period in time when research on bronze drums started, from archaeological as well as art historical perspective. However, bronze drums have continuously been produced, used and excavated over hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of years in this region. Production and ceremonial use seem to have been focused in the highlands, whereas trade and display more commonly occurred in the lowlands, along rivers and coasts. This paper aims at giving a more nuanced picture of the bronze drums than what is presented in European contexts, by focusing on the Thai-Burma borderlands in which bronze drums to a large extent occur today, as part of a living cultural heritage of its inhabitants.

The Western historiography of Laos puts emphasis on foreign powers as those that shaped the modern conditions of the country (Ivarsson 2008). Vernacular historiography, on the other hand, promotes a narrative of cultural authenticity and an indigenous impulse to modernize (Phoummachanh 1994). Monuments of Vientiane, constructed, reconstructed and relocated with the ascension of each sequential regime in Laos over the past century, reflect the complexities of a negotiation between foreign ideologies and vernacular agency in imagining the nation. This paper presents three case studies to address the nuances of this negotiation. The first one examines two reconstructions of the main Buddhist structure in the country, That Luang, as a hybrid with French architecture in the 1900s, and returning to the original design with the nationalist turn in the 1930s. The second case study looks at the Patuxai monument, built to commemorate Lao independence and erected during American interventions in Indochina during the Cold War. It addresses a peculiar juxtaposition of French iconography, Buddhist symbology and subverted American patronage. The third monument is the Monument of the Unknow Soldier, constructed during the communist period and relocated to the That Luang grounds in the post-socialist period. It reflects a shift in the orientation of socialist symbols of power within Lao Buddhist-inflected cosmology. This study deals with monuments of Vientiane as a register of adoption, cooption and subversion of indexes of foreign ideologies in the vernacular visual realm as a process of imagining alternative becomings.

Social media has made certain impacts on written communication among college students. It is interesting that there seems to be a sense of freedom of self-expression in their use of “social media language.” The purpose of this study is to look at some phenomena indicating the occurrence of newly created words and expressions in the way college students in Ruteng, East Nusa Tenggara, use social media language in their online communication.

A sociological approach is used in the analysis of the aforesaid occurrences among the student subjects of this study. The results of the study indicate that the creation of new words and expressions in the students’ use of “social media language” is largely motivated by the need to express their feelings more freely, and their use of new words and expressions they have created themselves is an act of self-defining their identity as an attempt to set themselves apart from other social groups.

The Ordinary National Educational Test (O-NET) is a high-stakes test evaluating academic performance of students in Thai government-affiliated schools annually by the National Institute of Educational Testing Service (NIETS). This study placed emphasis on the role of the O-NET in foreign language (English) as being a gate-keeper. The score considered along with the applications is implemented as a requirement for admission based on the assumption that the score provides meaningful inferences on the test-takers’ language ability. However, there is insufficient empirical evidence to prove gate-keeper function and predictive validity of the test. This study investigated the relationship between the O-NET score and academic achievement, its predictive validity and teachers’ beliefs toward the O-NET score. Data were gathered and analysed using simple linear regression analysis and the data from semi-structured interview were analysed. Findings and implications will be discussed.

The Western historiography of Laos often denies the country agency in its politics. Ivarsson claims that modern Laos was an invention of French colonial diplomacy (Ivarsson: 2008), and Grant Evans calls it an arena for more powerful neighbors (Evans 2002). Post-colonial Laos is often portrayed as a mere proxy state of the American Secret War (Jacobs 2012) and later of Soviet-Vietnamese ambition. Yet Lao architecture, sculpture and modern art reveal the presence of powerful local agency negotiating the import of assertive modernities and ideologies. A case study approach is used in this paper. The first case study examines two reconstructions of the main Buddhist structure in the country, That Luang, as a hybrid with French architecture in the 1910s, and as an original design at the nationalist turn in the 1930s. The second case study analyses a painting produced in 1974 and illustrates thesyntax of cubism introduced by American painters, and the vernacular treatment of the pictorial plane as a cosmological rather than geographical space (Thompson 2003), as deployed simultaneously in the imagining of modern nation. The final case study explores how Buddhist, French and Communist iconography were fused in the Patuxai Monument and the Monument of the Unknow Soldier to legitimise local power from Independence to post-socialism. This paper argues for Lao free agency in imagining the nation through unorthodox visual choices and the visibility of Lao visual culture in Southeast Asia’s discourse.

This study will compare, describe, and analyze the similarities and as well as the differences between intercultural communication dimensions of Thai and Indonesian cultures. The research applied five (5) intercultural communication dimensions from Hofstede, which include: power distance, individualism vs collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs femininity, indulgence vs restraint as units of analysis in comparing Indonesian and Thai intercultural communication. Therefore the essay studies the application of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions in supporting the process of teaching “Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing” (Teaching Indonesian Language to Foreign Speakers). This research is based on direct and participant observation as well qualitative interviews with the students who learn Bahasa Indonesia in some universities in Thailand.

Sifting through the stratigraphic layers of my title, ‘Early Theravadin Cambodia’ churns up materials which trouble the defining terms of a lifelong research project: Theravada, Cambodia and the historical periodisation which has for so long set the 13th century as a watershed after which ‘Theravada’ would reign and ‘Cambodia’ would never be the same again. Analyses of the multiple colonizing drives at the heart of the discursive categorization process inform and beg analyses of the materials which are coming to light, and vice-versa, producing a methodological vortex which can only promise new perspectives. To begin with, of course when we seek to define ‘early Theravadin Cambodia’ we are also defining ‘early Thailand’ - and vice-versa. But what is in a name? How does it relate to the form it denotes? For decolonizing the field of Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology requires a radical challenging of the foundations of knowledge upon which we nonetheless build.

This talk will take inspiration from the ambiguously indigenous Buddhist theoretical paradigm of nāmarūpa. Rather than being opposed, with the one (nāma, ‘name’) on the side of representation of the other (rūpa, ‘form’) on the side of reality, name and form are understood together as an articulated construction. Ultimately nāmarūpa begs the formulation of a critical art history aware of the established focus on iconography and style and yet capable of attending to the multiplicity of relations between name and form that make what we call ‘Thai’ or ‘Cambodian’ ‘Theravadin’ ‘art.’

This study aims to investigate the major characteristics of Indonesian and English folktales in order to understand the obstacles faced by Indonesians as ESL learners in reading comprehension. This study employed ten Indonesian and ten English folktales which were selected randomly. Several prominent attributes are found in these folktales, which are: (1) the generic structure affecting the flow of events, (2) the changing form of tenses used in the story, and (3) the culture of story-telling affected by history. In conclusion, the characteristics of Indonesian and English folktales revealed in the study are the aspects to be recognized by Indonesians as ESL learners to comprehend a story without difficulty. Moreover, by being informed of these findings, English teachers can help ESL learners by explaining the aspects mentioned at the outset to diminish reading impediments.

The Indonesian government is vigorously carrying out the program of BIPA teaching. The teaching is performed in various countries as well as Indonesia. Various kinds of media are prepared. Approaches, methods, strategies, and techniques are also applied to expedite the BIPA teaching process. One of the offerings to enrich the BIPA teaching technique is Poetry Musicalisation. The steps of Poetry Musicalisation are choosing, reading, understanding, and interpreting poetry, determining rhythm, determining composition, and arranging composition. The literature, that is poetry, becomes the main point. There are elements of creativity, locality, beauty, and also harmony produced from this poetry musicalisation.

Literary works in the form of folklore contain various kinds of information about life, thought, concept, and view of life which grow and develop in Indonesian society. It is important to be one way to introduce Indonesian culture to BIPA (Indonesian Language for Non-Native Speakers) learners. Local wisdom and moral portrayed in folklore will enrich BIPA learners’ insight to landscape of local culture. Of course the selection of material and reading material difficulties are adjusted in line with ability and class grouping; basic, intermediate, and advanced. This kind of practice follows Winkel (1989) who stated milestone of success in learning is the material which is adjusted with the learning goal. Some of folklores used for advanced class materials are Malin Kundang, Roro Jonggrang, Sang Kuriang, Jaka Tarub, etc. Those folklores can be applied as materials in reading, vocabulary, and speaking since they are rich of local, indigenous, and traditional knowledge, also local wisdom found throughout regions in Indonesia.

This article aims to show the relationship between the Batik of Yogyakarta and the development of Indonesian national identity in the period of reform, from the perspectives of political history, and of art and culture. From the perspective of political history, Yogyakarta was an important city in the Indonesian state which was once the capital during the struggle for independence. This city has been designated as the Yogyakarta Special Administrative Region until the present. As for the perspective of art and culture, the city of Yogyakarta is a city that still preserves traditional Javanese culture. One of the aspects of that culture is the decorative form known as “batik.” From the perspective of Javanese culture, Yogyakarta’s batik is more than just a valued way of dressing. It also reflects on Indonesian society. In addition, the Javanese, who are the main population of the country, have emphasized Javanese prominence through art and culture. The Javanese have transmitted Yogyakarta’s batik as part of Indonesian national identity. Keywords: Yogyakarta’s batik, construction, national identity, Indonesia, Reformasi period

A flurry of debate was provoked by Benedict Anderson’s claim, in Imagined Communities (1983), that the Latin American wars of independence were nationalist. Anderson’s case was widely challenged by Latin Americanists, who now tend to concur that there are no good grounds even for characterizing the independence movements as nationalist, let alone explaining them as such. It does seem to be clear that the wish for political independence did not necessarily imply any desire for cultural unity on the part of those who led the fight for it. Furthermore, the states conceived in the founding constitutions of Latin America were based on rights that were theoretically open to all, not on any sense of unique identity.

This research of Latin American nationalism covers the period from the late nineteenth until the late twentieth century. Two factors that had a significant impact on both state-building and nationalism came to the fore towards the end of the nineteenth century: first, the cumulative effects of modernization from the 1870s onwards, which led to the strengthening of a central state and the rise of mass politics; and second, the rise of US interventionism on all fronts—economic, cultural, military, and political—particularly after the Spanish-American War of 1898.

This paper examines closely a stone relief carving found in 1920 at the Pyu city of Srikṣetra in Myanmar, which appears to be an unusual variant of the Viṣṇu Anantaśayin iconographic type - the lotus stem germinating from the reclining Viṣṇu’s navel sprouts not one, but three lotus seats, with a recursion of Viṣṇu now flanked by Brahmā on the right and S� iva on the left. Only six images depicting this iconographic variant of Viṣṇu

Anantaśayin have been found in Myanmar. Taking Elizabeth Moore’s (2009) calls to complicate the “ethnic and linguistic homogeneity of ‘Pyu culture’ [which] has become entrenched in Burmese archaeology” to heart, it hopes to suggest alternative ways of thinking about Pyu art by considering the apparent reinterpretation of Viṣṇu’s

Creator-function in this particular Viṣṇu Anantaśayin image found in Srikṣetra in relation to his possible cadastral functions, as well as to the Pagan king Kyanzittha’s conceptions of kingship which are clearly linked to the foundation of the city of Srikṣetra ; and to Buddhist lineages as reflected in, for example, the succession of the four Buddhas of the Past.

L2 motivation in language learning and teaching is always an endlessly debatable matter to many researchers, educators and practitioners around the world. The so-called globalization, native and non-native speakers thus remain hot topics for researchers to get through when studying on L2 motivation at their local contexts. In Vietnam, despite various theories on motivation used, the L2 Motivational Self System (Dörnyei, 2009) appears a newly approach to the whole landscape of researching on L2 motivation. As a result, this paper attemps to give a detailed analysis on the general context for the emerging theory and how to apply that newly approach into real teaching context with a special focus on the role of the Ideal L2 Self. Accordingly, an implication for designing a teaching material is suggested especially in a tertiary educational sector in Vietnam.

Indonesia is a country with a population of 255.5 million people, the largest population in the ASEAN region. Historically, Indonesian language (henceforth referred to as ‘Bahasa Indonesia’) derived from the Malay language, as well as with the languages in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam. However, the birth of Bahasa Indonesia was unique. In 1928, the Indonesian Youth made an agreement that Bahasa Indonesia is a unity language of Indonesia and after that event, Bahasa Indonesia became the lingua franca for 745 ethnic groups in Indonesia who have actually their own languages and cultures (Team ALG FIB Unpad; 2016: 8). Based on my experience, most Indonesian people, when they go to Mecca for Islamic pilgrimage or go to Thailand for vacation, are not be able to speak in English as the international language. However, the traders in traditional markets whether in Mecca or in the tourist spots in Thailand are able to speak in Bahasa Indonesia to the Indonesian buyers. Hereafter, they use Bahasa Indonesia to communicate with each other, as well as to bargain prices.

This paper aims to examine the role of the Bahasa Indonesia in buying and selling activity in the traditional markets in several Asian countries and to examine the linguistic characteristics that exist between the traders and Indonesian buyers.

Competence in writing academic texts is essential for Thai students at the graduate program of State University of Malang. This need emerges as the response to meet the publication demand in numerous journals. In order to improve their competence, observation of the students’ needs is carried out, the result of which is validated by experts (lecturers). Various instructional materials on writing scientific articles are offered to the students to meet their needs. Afterwards, the materials are validated by experts (lecturers) to ensure their compliance with the pertinent discipline. The outcome is material for writing scientific articles which can meet the students’ needs and the validator’s standards. The finding sheds lights on further studies, which may pertain to investigating learning materials, the learning process (blended/hybrid learning), and the effectiveness of the resultant materials in improving the competence in writing scientific articles.

Tra Kieu is an important archaeological site in the study of Cham sculptural art. Excavations conducted by Jean Yves Clayes in 1927- 1928 and others since the 1980s have unearthed a huge number of artefacts which have been mainly displayed at the Museum of Cham Sculpture. However, dating Tra Kieu sculptures has remained a thorny issue in the curation of this epynomous gallery. This paper firstly aims to encapsulate the on-going debate amongst French and Vietnamese art historians on the stylistic development of Tra Kieu sculptures in the last one hundred years. Secondly it presents the display history of the Tra Kieu gallery since the French archaeologist Henri Par-mentier directed the display of this gallery. I argue that the current display is an attempt to mitigate the art historical dilema in defining the style of Tra Kieu sculptures.

Prior to the modern period of Thailand, the cropped hairstyle and unisex clothing, i.e. chong kraben, widely worn by both men and women were an enigma and also a scandal to visiting Westerners’ sensitivities. With the influx of Western influences including portraiture and fashion, the Siamese Royal court as a ‘national role model’ readily embraced this ‘trendiness’. Portraiture gradually changed the Thai concept of how the body and gender identity of its subject should be presented and represented. This paper thus seeks to investigate the Westernised mode of sartorial display depicted in the royal portraits during the early modern period, especially in ways in which it engineered a reconstruction of Siamese elites’ gender identity. The study is framed under the conceptualisation of fashion or clothing as a symbolic language reflecting a relationship between the body and presence. This leads to the idea of the modernisation of the country and its people. The study also suggests a plausible role of fashion in contributing to the creation and representation of royal power in connecting with the building of a modern nation as well as its geo-body and its identity.

Education sojourners are increasingly enrolling in Tertiary Education institutions in Thailand. Focusing on the growing number of African international students (sojourners) in Thailand, this study explores the factors that can affect their adaptation and eventual quality stay in the host culture, from their own perspective. Their personal experiences with adaptation to Thai culture and culture shock in Thailand are examined. The study is a case of three African sojourners in Thailand. Applying Narrative inquiry in data collection through interviews, and adopting Anderson’s (1994) model of cross-cultural adaptation in data interpretation, it was discovered that the sojourners experienced little or no culture shock. They could adjust easily due to their multi-cultural and multi-linguistic backgrounds. The adjustment, as we found, was facilitated by the Thai collectivistic culture of nam jai (‘‘water of the heart’’), which forms the basis for the Thai genuine care and concern for others.

Eastern Indonesia has been very rich in local languages. This study aims at identifying and analyzing the interest and the ability of children in using local languages in Eastern Indonesia. The respondents of the study were students of elementary and junior high schools. Through quantitative and qualitative research approaches, the study found that: 1) their interest tended to be low; 2) the uses of local language were limited, superficial, poor, non-standard and mostly influenced by Indonesian language; 3) their spoken language was mostly better than written; 4) most children viewed local language as not important to be mastered. This was related to the government’s policy in language both at the national and local level. In addition, the state and the local society did not provide resources and opportunity to the children to learn the local language. The low interest and ability of children in using local languages threatens the development of regional languages in Eastern Indonesia.

The Banten Sultanate capital transformed into a multicultural international port city. This city became more strategic for spice trading after the VOC’s arrival in the 16th century. Dutch colonial domination of the Banten Sultanate capital meant the city was divided spatially based on ethnic groups, such as European, Chinese, Arabian, etc. Using landscape archaeology, this paper demonstrates how socially-defined ethnic groups used landscapes to create, maintain, and transform their identities. The results of the study show that the division of space based on ethnicity produced contestations that affected social life in the Banten Sultanate capital.

Intercultural learning is an educational process that trains and guides learners able to communicate and interact in complex life contexts. This paper uses politeness as a universal form of oral interaction as part of the Indonesian learning process for foreign speakers. This is part of the principle of cultural-language interconnection and the principle of communicative competence. The analysis is carried out on relevant theories and research results. The result is a concept of intercultural learning for foreign speakers based on politeness in Indonesian. This learning enhances intercultural competence and the communicative competence of foreign speakers

Since the sociocultural turn in applied linguistics, sexual identity, as a part of language teacher identity (LTI), has been receiving increasing attention. However, the interplay between teachers’ sexual identity and teaching practices remains under-researched. In order to bridge this gap, the article presents a narrative case study that investigates how an expatriate EFL teacher in Bangkok positions his sexuality to adapt to the professional arena. Through the poststructuralist lenses, this article aims to illuminate the complexity of language teacher identity in the tertiary setting where teachers need to negotiate conflicting selves in order to make sexuality and pedagogies coexist. The findings indicate that the institutional impact plays a vital part in the professional repositioning of sexual identity. Meanwhile, the participant faces challenges in constructing identity and power relation. Consequently, sexual exclusion from the workplace can be treated as an alternative way of participation in professional practices.

One topic of analysis on the syntactic level is active-passive construction. Active and passive sentences refer to the relationship between the subject and verb in a sentence. The research aims to study passive transformation rules in Thai, to study passive transformation rules in Indonesian, and to compare passive transformation rules between Thai and Indonesian. There are some similarities and differences between the Thai and Indonesian passive structures. The similarities in both languages are: both have types of passive whose structures have no active structure counterparts; the object of the passive sentences is the focus of attention; in terms of transformation rules, both languages move the object of the active sentences to become the subject of the passive sentences; the agent of a passive sentence becomes less important, therefore its occurrence is optional. The differences are: Indonesian passive is more productive than Thai passive; in the case of the agentive passive, the Thai passive places the agent before the main verb, whereas in the Indonesian passive, the agent replaces the position of the object which already moved as the subject of the passive structure Keywords: active sentence, passive sentence, comparative linguistics

Social Science and Humanities indeed are the two massive fields of studies concerning with society and the relationships among individual within a society and its culture. In certain circumstances, the fields of Social Science and Humanities might sometime overlap with each other where Social Science covers anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, economics, history, human geography, jurisprudence, linguistics, political science, psychology, public health, and sociology; whereas, Humanities include ancient and modern languages, literature, philosophy, geography, history, religion, art and musicology. Commonly, the expertise of any scholars would be identified in line with these two schools of thoughts. As the world gradually change and face the diversity and furthermore with the current development of superdiversity, the domain of social science and humanities field enter the new phase. It has become co-existence in the academic with the concept of muti-discipline, cross-disciplines and trans-disciplines which deconstruct the idea of a single major of expertise. The emergence of the mix-field of expertise is becoming more popular in the area studies such as Asian Studies, East Asian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, etc. By using examples of Southeast Asian Studies in Southeast Asia, this paper discusses how the area studies emerge, develop and sustain the multi-discipline approach in studying Southeast Asian region. This paper also analyzes the rapid change in Southeast Asia which causes to the diversity in many aspects and how this region is adapting to these changes and appropriating certain elements to be co-existed with this changing world. Therefore, the multi-discipline approach is relevant and can be accepted for the area studies.

Globalization has had a big effect on Vietnam, especially the prevalence of English. Although Vietnamese people regard English as a precious asset, it is rarely known that to become the main foreign language in Vietnam, English has been influenced by factors which are both advantageous and unfavorable. This paper discusses English in contemporary Vietnam in terms of obstacles and opportunities. The obstacles refer to the historical dominance of different languages and the competition with other foreign languages at the present time. In addition, English also has many convenient chances to prevail in Vietnam, e.g. in such fields as politics, media, education, etc. Finally, some suggestions regarding language policy are provided so that this foreign language can be learned and used effectively in today’s Vietnamese society.

The researchers’ experience in teaching Indonesian as a foreign language at Phrateepsaart Islam Vittya Mulnithi School, has revealed some factors affecting the students’ achievement as follows: 1) lack of students’ motivation in learning Indonesian; 2) a very minimum exposure of cross-cultural understanding; 3) no available parameter to know the students’ Indonesian proficiency; and 4) no proper material for the students in the same level of Indonesian proficiency in different educational levels. Finally, the researchers conclude that the success of the Indonesian teaching process can be achieved by transforming the Thai students’ study habits, providing proper parameters of Indonesian proficiency, and applying mature study material.

The rise of feminist, queer, and trans scholarship in the West has, over recent decades, expanded into ethnographies surrounding gender pluralism and variance in Malaysia and Indonesia. The purpose of my research is to critically dissect this body of work, and expose the limits of only using Western frameworks to understand gender. Specifically, I examine discourse on Bugis and Malay genders and sexualities. My research draws from a large body of scholarship on the ‘five genders’ in Bugis society, namely bissu and calalai as well as local concepts of mak nyah and pondan used among the Malay and Bugis Malay diasporas. My comparative qualitative meta-analysis shows how Western constructions of gender stumble over contradictions in terminology (for example, the sloppy and problematic usage of ‘transvestite’ to describe genders) and categorization (eg. not all bissu identify as a separate gender, contra most Western scholarship). Similar to how two-spirit communities in Canada do not depend on Western-centric framing, I propose using local indigenous terms to communicate gender pluralism in Malaysia and Indonesia. I also showcase how this re-center local frameworks for understanding local concepts. This underlines regional variety, exposing the neocolonial myth of monolithic Malaysian and Indonesian cultures bound by state borders.

The ethnic and cultural diversity of Indonesia is not only a strength; it may also negatively impact the unity of Indonesia as a national community. Presently, there is a strong tendency for the various ethnic and cultural groups in Indonesia to become more exclusive, with little respect for inclusivity. This has posed its own challenge for diversity in Indonesia. This article seeks to portray Indonesia’s current condition and examine potential channels for strengthening the unity of the Indonesian nation and community. It will apply a communications approach to analyze its research object. This article argues that specific channels are necessary for uniting diverse groups within a single arena of inclusion. Such channels are necessary to overcome differenc-es and strengthen the bonds between different communities. The historical contexts and specific conditions of Indonesia also contribute to this recent phenomenon in Indonesia. The increasing role of new media in everyday Indonesian life has paradoxically posed a threat to Indonesian unity, and the ability of the Indonesian people to formulate solutions to this problem is being tested.

Modern conceptions of the history and archaeology of mainland Southeast Asia are largely informed by theories which developed during the colonial period. These ideas were absorbed into the literature and became paradigms which have gone relatively unchallenged. Recent discoveries and technological advances allow us to study the past in new ways, yet the prevalence of older theories is like a shackle which many scholars seem unable to remove. Among problematic theories from the colonial period is our understanding of racial groups and the delineation of space along ethno-linguistic terms. This paper will address the issue of racialization in the history of the region, specifically with relation to the Mon ethnicity and the academic proclivity to define certain regions and periods as being “Mon”. This idea developed from understandings of other historic cultures in the region, and the label of Mon was assigned after discovery of only a few Old Mon language inscriptions. To date, a relatively small number of short inscriptions written in Old Mon have been identified, yet the label is entrenched in the academic vernacular. This paper will not propose any new labels but will discuss the colonial roots of the current label and the problematic implications.

This paper deals with Steinbeck’s classic short story “The Chrysanthemums,” discussing the conflict of Elisa Allen, the female protagonist, to enhance her role in modern society. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Elisa’s feminine traits. The method used was a descriptive method. The result shows that Elisa is a sympathetic character as she is restricted by the prevailing conception of how a woman should behave. The source of her frustration is related to sex and gender, and the limitations in her married life. On the other hand, she is also unsympathetic as her feminine traits are the elements which degrade her.

This study’s three main objectives were to explore the reverse culture shock and readjustment difficulties encountered by Thai AFS returnees, to investigate the factors contributing to the readjustment difficulties, and to identify their coping strategies after returning to the home culture. Employing a qualitative case study and the purposive sampling technique, the researcher in-depth interviewed seven Thai AFS returnees, who participated in a one-academic-year AFS exchange program in different host countries, from 2013 to 2017. The results showed that the Thai returnees encountered reverse culture shock during their re-entry transition period. This included confusion, anxiety, stress, loneliness and reverse homesickness. The problems were found in five areas: health, Thai classroom culture, communication, relationship and Thai culture. The study found that most reverse culture shock and readjustment difficulties were associated with their struggle to integrate with the host nationals and their unrealistic expectations. Finally, the returnees utilized social support coping strategies to assist with the readjustment, i.e. sharing problems with Thai AFS returnees’ friends, host families and foreign AFS returnees.

In 1900, the Lao ethnonym–and so the Lao themselves–officially disappeared from Siam. However, Lao culture and identity persisted at local, regional, and national levels. As Keyes (1967) discovered in his fieldwork, an ethnic Lao community, “a Northeast Thailand-based ethno-regionalism”, emerged post-World War II. This regionalism, which we re-term ‘Thai Lao’ and specify to the majority ethnic community, remains today and exists in a contested relationship with both ‘Thai’ and ‘Lao’ identity. The subsequent survival of the Lao ethnic community’s cultural identity in the 1960’s and 1970’s occurred despite the best efforts of the Royal Thai Government (RTG) to assimilate the Lao politically and administratively and to eradicate aspects of Lao culture. These aspects included Lao language, religion, and history, using the school system, the Lao Buddhist Sangha (order of monks), and the bureaucracy. However, beginning in the 1990’s, buoyed by a multitude of factors, the Lao ethnic community reappeared as the ‘Thai Lao’ or ‘Lao Isan.’ This reappearance was noted in the RTG’s own Thailand 2011 Country Report (RTG 2011) to the UN Committee responsible for the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. For nearly four decades now, (pan-)Laoism has recurred in academia, the media, the public sphere, popular traditions, and even in the form of Lao apocalyptic millenarianism–the yuk Lao siwilai or ‘era of Lao civilisation’. Following Anthony Smith (1986, 1991, 1999) this paper utilizes ahistorical ethno-symbolist approach to this recurrence.

One of the problems found in the BIPA classroom is that teachers often find it difficult when dealing with the differentiation among near-synonyms, such as how to distinguish between agar, supaya and untuk. In fact, as a teacher who is also a native speaker of the language, I am aware that metacognitive knowledge is undoubtedly important. Moreover, even the teacher or the students could not count on Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia as a guide to understand the meaning of words because the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia itself doesn’t provide satisfactory information about them. As an example, the meaning of one word omehow should be tracked with another word. From that point, it is urgently needed to build one or more different teaching strategies that could help teachers and students to distinguish words in order to gain fullunderstanding of the target language.

In this context, a linguistic corpus provides a holistic approach to describe a languag phenomenon more specifically. The features it has can be beneficial for the research, such as concordance, collocation, and frequency analysis. With analytical support on semantic and syntax aspects, it helps teachers to have more knowledge in teaching, especially for near-synonym words.

This research aims to propose a more representative teaching strategy dealing with description of lexical phenomenon of near-synonym words between agar, supaya and untuk. This research emphasizes how teachers should not be focused on the semantic aspect. It is also important to give more attention to how syntactic characteristics of near-synonym words can give more understanding.

This paper explores the construction of ideal queenship in Singhasari, east Java, through an examination of the narrative panels in the thirteenth-century temple Candi Jago. In a basic sense, Jago is a royal funerary monument built by King Kertanagara to mark the apotheosis of his father and predecessor Wishnuwardhana as Avalokiteshvara Amoghapasha. However, the decorative program is concerned with concepts that go beyond a real king—living or dead. Instead, there is a vested interested in communicating the ideals of kingship in the Esoteric Buddhist tradition of divine kingship. In this tradition the ideal king is not simply a pious and dutiful man, but a perfected Yogin who is enlightened and liberated and yet still a worldly king. In Candi Jago, narrative friezes serve as a vehicle to express the ideal divine Buddhist king, embodied in heroes such as Arjuna, Sudhana, and Krishna.

However, this image of the ideal king is only one half of the royal couple, and he is comple-mented by the office of queenship. Themes of marriage, union, and love play important roles in the narrative panels at Candi Jago, and an examination of these themes help inform an understanding of how the office of queenship functioned in relation to that of kingship. In both the Hindu and Esoteric Buddhist traditions from which east Javanese religion is drawn, consorts serve important religious and symbolic functions. They can sometimes serve to complete a god or be seen as aspects of him. Often their presence is connected to the ideal of potentiality or power unmanifest. This study of the narrative panels at Candi Jago in relation to the Hindu/Buddhist function of consorts shows that the ideal of the Javanese queen functions similarly as a consort to the divine king, providing a source of energy and a catalyst for his power. Additionally, while the protagonist of these narratives may serve as a model for the ideal king, at times members of the supporting cast embody the role of the ideal queen.

This paper will look at political treatments of language in Samuel Beckett’s early novel Watt and place the novel’s linguistic skepticism in conversation with three authors, the lexicographer Samuel Johnson, the language theorist Felix Mauthner, and the English-born, Canadian parodist Stephen Leacock. The paper will argue that Beckett, like Leacock, engages in Mauthnerian critiques of language, destabilizing Johnsonian formulae for language standardization. But while Leacock fails to develop the political implications of his critique of language, Beckett’s understanding of language standardization is implicitly political, informed by Johnson’s conception of speech as the predicate of national identity, a standard for inclusion which Watt gleefully antagonizes. Challenging nationalist calls for controls on language, Watt interrogates the ways that campaigns for linguistic unity will engender exclusionary attitudes toward the nonconforming and bar access to that speech and identity which falls outside of normative frameworks.

The metaphoric ‘voice’ is germane to good writing, textual quality, the critical elements in writing instruction and assessment and advanced academic literacy in a native (L1) English speaking context. The notion of voice, thus, has attracted particular attention among L1 composition scholars and researchers. However, there is still little empirical evidence of the construction of voice among L2 student writers, especially in EFL contexts. Drawing from 35 actual writing samples of opinion paragraphs in conjunction with 35 students’ learning reflections written by Thai EFL student writers from two independent groups, quantitative methods of content analysis were employed in this study to scrutinize whether Thai EFL students’ written paragraphs show the voice features indicated in the modified rubric and to examine differences between the group of students who are explicitly aware of voice and the group of students who may not be aware of voice. The results clearly revealed that, overall, student writers in Group 1, who were explicitly aware of voice, wrote with a comparatively stronger voice and employed a wider variety of voice features than those in Group 2, who might not have been aware of voice.

Who will write the history of Chiang Tung? Chiang Tung (also spelled Keng Tung or Kyaingtong), in the Eastern Shan State of Myanmar, with a majority Tai Khun population, is a place between the two great rivers Salween and Mekong in Upper Southeast Asia. It has a long history in the borderlands of three dominant cultures: the Burmese, the Chinese and the Siamese/Thai. It was also an independent borderland after the ruler of Chiang Tung broke all bonds with the Burmese King Thibaw in 1882, until it was captured by the British in 1890.

History is often written from a national horizon. Do we want a history of Chiang Tung from the angle of “Pan-Thai Nationalism” or from the Burmese who are rewriting history according to culture and religion? A national horizon is partly true also for international scholars with networks and conferences for either Burmese or Thai studies. Where does Chiang Tung belong? This paper will discuss the history of Chiang Tung from different perspectives, including the perspective of local people through oral legends, memories and an annual performance of ancient Tai Khun history.

The main purpose of this article is to study variation of plant names in standard Korean and north Gyeongsang dialect, South Gyeongsang dialect in order to find out how similar or different the plant names in these Sub-dialects are, and to conclude from such findings the relationship among the dialects and sub-dialects. Wordlist of 150 semantic units from “A Dictionary of Korean Dialects” is constructed specially for this study.

The analysis of the data reveals that there are three types of semantic units: those which are represented by the same lexical items in all two dialects, those which are represented by completely different lexical items in all two dialects, and those which are represented by the same lexical items in two of the three dialects. The study also shows that the lexical items represent the same semantic unit differ in three ways: word construction, word usage and natural linguistic phenomena Keyword : Gyeongsang dialect, North Gyeongsang dialect, South gyeongsang dialect

Every kind of learning process needs a reference to examine its success. In educational knowledge, the activity can be called evaluation. Evaluation in the learning process can not only be directed towards the result, but also has to be directed towards the teaching process. Through evaluation, revision of the program and implementation of a teaching process strategy can be accomplished. In relation to the BIPA learning process, there can often be found problems which are faced by the teachers, such as the form, kind, and the qualification of the measurement tools that are used. In this case, the writer focuses on the usage of BIPA evaluation learning media through software wondershare quiz creator (wqc), which can help create quizzes or exercises in the form of multiple choice, correct-incorrect, essay and many more types, more easily and faster.

In the last two centuries, European superpowers set up research institutions to study colonized countries’ rich heritage, cultures, customs and religions. In French Indochina, research projects were for the most part entrusted to European academics, but institutions also relied on assorted assistants who lacked the requisite expertise and technical skills. Ostensibly, these novice scholars were appointed on account of their European ethnicity, which often negated the capabilities of indigenous talent. A case in point is the first archaeological excavation of Sa Huynh in central Vietnam, entrusted to the wife of the local French customs officer in 1923-24. On another level, colonial bias and the paternalistic canons of the time often underpinned the interpretation of artefacts, as was the case with objects from the 1931-33 French excavations at the Plain of Jars, the first large-scale survey of this megalithic culture extending over two provinces in Laos. In this presentation, I will illustrate the set-up of research institutions in French Indochina, with case studies from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Language and culture are the two elements of life in a society. These two elements cannot be separated. There is no culture without language and no language born without culture. Betawi is a region in Indonesia whose society has characteristics that vary because of its culture. Betawi tribes are grouped into two, namely: Betawi central and Betawi suburbs. Both groups have similarities and differences in language use. Similarity lies in the use of language pragmatically, whereas the difference lies in the dialect and the vowel sounds [a] and [é] at the ends of words.

The work of contemporary Malaysian artist Anne Samat (b. 1973) is premised chiefly on the adaptation of weaving techniques, such as songket and pua kumbu, and the use of found objects in the creation of fictional material bodies. As the artist observes: “Tanpa adat dan budaya, ibarat jasad tidak bernyawa” (Without culture, without custom, one is as good as dead). It is this tension between the conjuring of the realm of adat, or traditional Malay custom, and Anne’s own position as a transgendered individual, that produces new contexts within which to read her work. Drawing from Izmer Ahmad’s notion of circumcision as a mark of acculturation into the broader Malay-Muslim body politic of Malaysia via specific forms of visual culture such as batik, the artist’s act of MTF gender reassignment is read as a radical circumcision – a cutting off from the body politic in general. This radical cut is, however, sutured through the cultural signifiers embodied in her work, which I argue adopts the discourse of craft as a cultural position, rather than merely as material or technique, thus reattaching Anne’s body (of work) to the body politic – in new, trans-figured ways.

This presentation explores the nature of mobile learning, both in the sense of learning which is appropriate for an ever more mobile and diverse world, and learning which exploits multiple levels of mobility, including the mobility of devices, the mobility of learners, and the mobility of learning experiences.

Showcasing examples of innovative mobile language and literacy learning projects from around the globe, the presentation goes on to demonstrate that the most effective forms of mobile learning are contextually appropriate; exploit mobility on as many levels as possible; and, above all, recognise the complexity of contemporary sociopolitical environments, respect the linguacultural diversity of these settings, and approach both with humility.

The presentation concludes with a brief consideration of the importance of educators and students developing the critical mobile literacy necessary to evaluate the use of mobile devices, both in education and in society as a whole.

When considering Cambodia’s past it is lamentable but understandable that colonial scholars were consumed with addressing Angkor’s massive, seemingly inexplicable monuments and the kings who had ordered them built. Overlooking the period after Angkor was further exacerbated by the difficulty of interpreting, or even using, the principal written sources of the Early Modern Period, the Royal Cambodian Chronicles. Reconstructions of history recorded long after the events they allege to report, the Chronicles are contradictory and abound with errors. The unreliable historical sources combined with indistinct and modest forms of material culture resulted in the portrayal of the period as a time of absence, or even a “dark age”. Recent studies that consider the texts, art history, and archaeology of Cambodia after Angkor in fact reveal the period as rich and complex. Significantly, an immense quantity of information rests in the ground of the Early Modern Period capitals. Correspondingly, this paper will report preliminary results from the first systematic archaeological investigations conducted by an international team of Cambodian, Australian and Japanese researchers at Cambodia’s Early Modern capitals on the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap arterial rivers.

Conspiracy theories is gaining traction in the fields of media studies, computer science, even international relation following Donald Trump’s ascension to Presidency after the 2016 U.S. election. Social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube are often held accountable for spreading conspiracy theories to their users on a global scale. Two common factors contributing to the spreading of conspiracy theories on these social media networks are the platform algorithm that curates personalized content and consequently the users’ inability to identify misinformation in the algorithmic computation. These two correlative factors serve as the underlying principles in calling social media platform to provide “better” information to their users. While the call for social media platforms to regulate misinformation is valid, it completely neglects the capabilities of the users to participate in assembling a personal conspiratorial narrative within the Applications. In this paper, I explore how the interface design of social media platforms, focusing particularly on Twitter, enables user-generated conspiratorial content through the process of gamification. I will analyze the design of Twitter timeline and posited as a dominant factor in enabling the users to participate in their own conspiratorial feedback loop. My analysis of Twitter interface design will be based on the #QANON conspiracy theory, which revolves around a narrative that President Trump is secretly plotting the fight against “The Deep State”. I also argue that in order to stop conspiracy theories such as #QANON from being weaponized they should be consumed solely as a form of entertainment.

Works of literature are representations of culture. They appear in written and oral forms. Written literary works are in the forms of poetry, short stories, drama, novel, etc. Oral literary works of literature include those inherited from previous generations through daily habit such as folklore, fables, and legends. This paper aims to explore the ways oral literary pieces are used as media in language learning. Folklore, fable, and legends are found very beneficial for language learning because these materials are dynamic, interesting, simple as well as unique.

Safe Abortion in Digital Humanities: An Alternative Safe Zone The evolution of digital platforms helps us to understand the rapid changing of human interaction. Under the light of digital humanities, some social problems can find a shifting paradigm and understanding. Abortion, mainly in the South East Asia is socially taboo but also medically discriminate. Many women are struggling to get a safe abortion and fight for the right of their body without being criminalized by the authority. Within the light of digital humanities, many digital platforms and application arise to help women. Even there is a great disadvantage of the opinion that “men invented the internet”, women surely find that digital platforms are a helpful tools and resources for their struggle. This research will collaborate with a local based NGO in Yogyakarta, Indonesia called Samsara that use digital platforms as a main tool for reaching out women in need.

Vocabulary has always been a potential part when it comes to studying language. In Korean, there are several types of vocabulary, which are pure Korean words, loanwords from foreign language and Sino-Korean words that derived from Chinese language.

Sino-Korean words is well-known to be the type of vocabulary that occupy an enormous part among all Korean vocabularies. Even in many study materials, it is clearly shown to contain quite a big amount of Sino-Korean words as well. However, many researches in the past has revealed that Sino-Korean words are the vocabularies that most learners found them difficult to learn and memorize, especially those whose mother tongue is non-Chinese related language. Thai learners are also included in this group. Though many universities in Thailand has arranged a ‘Chinese characters’ class for students majoring in Korean language, most of them are only designed for 3rd or 4th year.

The object of this study is to purpose that Sino-Korean words need to be taught to Korean learners since beginner level. This study will also show fundamental Sino-Korean word list based on frequency and a basic teaching method which will not only help learners to memorize word meaning but also practice learners to be able to expand their vocabulary and the use of words effectively.

Nowadays, Indonesian is spoken not only by Indonesians but also spoken by speakers from other countries. One of the countries in Southeast Asia is Thailand. Related to this issue, Indonesian is used in building soft-diplomacy between Indonesia-Southern Thailand as follows: (1) Increasing the quality of Indonesian learning process in Southern Thailand (2) Introducing Indonesian to the wider world (3) Improving Indonesian’s current image in Southern Thailand. All in all, the researchers draw a conclusion that the role of Indonesian in Indonesia-Thailand soft-diplomacy gives at least three good impacts above for both countries based on each country’s needs in a proper portion.

The influence of the postmodern paradigm has effected improvements and shaped the recent path of archaeology in contemporary society. Especially in the Western world, one of the significant concepts is to investigate the background of Archaeology itself, for the purpose of developing and reorganising the latest issues. This suggests that if archaeologists excavate the pit of archaeology itself, they will uncover the history of archaeological ideology and practice. In contrast, the Asia-Pacific still lags behind, due to a lack of meaningful inspection of its own archaeological history. Especially in Thailand, the background of domestic archaeology has never been evaluated.

This paper assesses, by text analysis, broad perspectives on the development of Thai archaeological ideation, which can be divided into 3 stages: Phase 1 (prior to 1907), Phase 2 (1907-1932), Phase 3 (1932-present). This historical review reveals interesting issues about the current status of Thai Archaeology through two questions: 1) Has Thailand overcome patriotic archaeology? 2) In which direction will Thai archaeology develop its own knowledge? The two aforementioned points are discussed in this paper.

Asian music and cultures have their own long histories and identities. These systems therefore have their own concepts and theories of music classification relating to musical instrument characteristics and playing qualities. This paper aims to present the Korean and Thai systems of music classification. The research found that both traditional Korean and Thai music have similarities and differences in their classification systems. There are three Korean systems of music classification: 1) classifying following the ancient Chinese music classification system based on production materials, consisting of 8 groups: metal, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, soil, animal skin, and wood; 2) classifying according to function and occasion, as popular in the Joseon period, particularly at the court: Chinese traditional royal ceremonial music (A-ak), Chinese serenade music (Tang’ak), and original Korean music (Hyang’ak); 3) classifying following Western music, nowadays the most popular system in classical music and among Korean musi-cians and scholars, including stringed instruments, percussion instruments, and wind instruments. Meanwhile, Thai music classification can be divided into 3 systems: 1) the ironic denial of Western musical classification despite its use as the standard system in the context of music study; 2) classification according to playing method, including plucking, bowing, percussing, and blowing, four methods popular among Thai musicians; and 3) the characteristics of performing groups, including wong-dontri-pii-phaat, wong-dontri-kruang-saai, and wong-dontri-mahorii; these classification systems are based on the central Thai music. Hopefully, this research will help musicians and music scholars to better understand the similarities and differences across the Asian region, and will make a fundamental contribution to improving and classifying traditional Thai music systems.

One of the lasting reactions against European colonialism in Southeast Asia has been the development of national languages and the production of knowledge in such languages. At the same time, the dominance of English as the international language of trade and science is itself a post-colonial and post-war legacy. As a result, archaeology in Southeast Asia exists in two worlds: the English-speaking world, and the world of archaeology described in local languages (and to a certain extent, the non-English colonial languages). Most scholars are unable to traverse this gap between worlds and these linguistic differences can have profound implications for how archaeology is understood, perceived and experienced. This Two-World Problem is exacerbated because scholars proficient in English have a privileged position in being able to be published in more prestigious journals and reach a larger - but paradoxically not local - audience. At the same time, scholars who do operate in English may find their local perspectives and understanding of the past devalued or ignored. This paper does not pretend to solve the Two-World Problem, but by defining it and identifying its characteristics, I hope to begin a discussion on how some of the resultant problems can be addressed.

Leaving the dominant monastic system in Thailand, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu founded Suan Mokkh in 1989 in pursuit of “Pristine Buddhism” and developed his own idiosyncratic religious pedagogies. Buddhadasa perceived beyond the binary opposition of sacred and profane in order to discover their coexistent potentiality in pursuit of religious Truth. The epitome of this attempt was his artwork, Dharma Text Next to Image (1972-91), a photographic series of 423 self-portraits juxtaposed with dharma poems about Anatta. In this sense, art and technology were adopted by Buddhadasa as a tool for teaching the dharma. The Dharma is thus a “work of art”. This Dharma is not an epistemological acknowledgement of the text’s literal meaning, but an observer’s transcendental experience during the phenomenological process of “becoming” selfless hermeneuti-cally and psychologically through an artwork.

People interested in studying Indonesian at this time have begun to increase. This increased interest is supported by various ways of learning Indonesian, ranging from coming to Indonesia and learning the language by immersion programs, visiting Indonesian classes or courses, or online. Universitas Terbuka is one of the universities in Indonesia which organizes an Indonesian language learning program for foreign speakers (BIPA) online. This paper will discuss how Universitas Terbuka (UT) designs BIPA learning, describing the learning processes, learning materials, language skills training tasks, and language skills exams (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

The perception of Southeast Asia’s past is arguably organised based on 19th - and early 20th-century imperialism. Many basic yet influential theories were propagated by selected individuals affiliated with Far-Eastern learned societies rooted in the European Enlightenment. These scholarly collectives, such as the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, École Française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO), and the Siam Society, had been directly involved in writing ancient pasts through the means of monumental archaeology, antiquarianism, and philology. Under the guise of the civilising mission, their prominent members, for instance Jan Laurens Andries Brandes (1807-1905) of the Batavian Society, Henri Parmentier (1871-1949) of EFEO and Prince Damrong Rajanubhab (1862-1943) of the Siam Society, were frequently noted to generate, and sometimes invent, the region’s often glorious distant past. At present, contemporary scholarship has recognised the roles of these societies and their members, as well as their embedded colonial bias, in instigating the (art) history of a certain cultural area, but their networking and the key operational role of ancient objects within those knowledge production networks has often been overlooked. Thus, this preliminary study aims to show the dynamics of exchange of and over specific ancient objects in the development of knowledge of ancient Southeast Asia in the circuit of personal relations and scholarship among esteemed colonial scholars and learned societies. The ways in which certain objects have embodied key interpretive paradigms, and the extent to which the scholars had interacted academically, discussed theories, and reacted to each other’s arguments about these objects will be instructive in deconstructing the colonial understanding of Southeast Asia’s past.

Korea is one of the Asia Miracles. The country has spent merely three decades to move from one of the poorest countries to a member of OECD. Korean enterprises are one of the key factors that help transforming the economy. Though the strong government with clear industrial policy seems to explain most part of this phenomenon, the role of dynamic entrepreneurship in leading Korean businesses after WWII and Korean War, should not be ignored. This session would narrate the business history of leading Korean corporation and how they affect Korean business system to date. In addition, lessons learned from Korean economic development model would also be addressed and discussed.

The modern historiographies of Burma and Thailand are premised on the current internationally recognized borders of the two countries. Each country now has its own “national” history, each of which projects aspects of the present into the past anachronistically. These national borders represent one aspect of the larger reorganization of space, the past, and people along the nineteenth-century western concepts of race and nation. Following the logic and practice of race and nation, each “people” or “race” (today called “ethnicity”) must have its own language, its own history, and its own territory.

“Modern” Burmese and Thai histories were created in the same moment that the new national borders were created, as were new historical subjects, including importantly ethnic majorities and minorities. Many of these new minorities found themselves lacking in many of the requisites of nationhood, including territorial sovereignty, the ability to teach and transmit their language, and their own history.

I consider modern Mon historiography, seeing it as the writing of a past falling both under Burmese and Thai historiography as a minority, while also recalling a past of crossings and connections across a border which was not there at the time.

This paper aims to: 1) discuss the previous interpretation of Theravāda Buddhism in ancient Si Thep, Phetchabun, Thailand); 2) explore the trace of Theravādain Si Thep from the 7th–11th

centuries 3) point to a new area for art historical and archaeological research in the study of Buddhism. This paper argues that the notion of Theravāda having been the main religion of Dvāravatī� needs to be revised.

Recent research has demonstrated that the term ‘Theravāda’ itself is problematic, as there is no evidence that it had any application outside the Sangha prior to the modern period, when the nomenclature became popularised through the development of ‘Buddhist Studies.’ There is also a notable lack of archaeological evidence demonstrating the existence of Theravāda Buddhist arts in Si Thep. One might assert that the Si Thep Buddha images or Dharmachakra belong to the Theravāda sect, but I argue that these are a public treasure not belonging to any one sect. A number of repoussé gold objects and head of Bodhisattva Maitreya also indicate the cult of Maitreya in ancient Si Thep. Votive tablets with the name of Maitreya inscribed on the back have been found from throughout Dvāravatī� period, so this might show that Maitreya was not worshiped by any specific group of devotees. In addition, Si Thep’s Khao Klang Nok’s architectural plan is somehow similar to the Diamond World Mandala. With this and other evidence such as Shingon paintings, I will argue that further art historical and archaeological research on Si Thep will illustrate the complexity of Buddhism practiced there, and that art historians and archaeologists need, now, to catch up with textual scholars in questioning the attribution of artworks in early Thailand to ‘Theravāda’

Political polarization is in so many ways the characterization of our time. Democratic countries, developed and less developed alike, seem to have found themselves locked in unbridgeable political divides. Political polarization is seen as an acute problem, causing social division, political gridlock, instability, or in several cases violence and casualties. It has received great attention; however, the main trend of studying political polarization has been to try to make sense of empirical data and getting a practical solution. That the problem seems only to have intensified might indicate the need of a different approach. Focusing on a reinterpretation of Aristotle’s conception of human nature, and justice, this study will attempt to look at political polarization using the lens of classical political philosophy. It will be shown that Aristotle’s philosophy is not only relevant but also still useful for understanding the complexity of political communities, and how to coexist in one.

Historical periodization and art classification were important processes for creating the biography of the nation under colonial influence in Siam/Thailand. King U-thong was the founder of the Ayutthaya kingdom. His story in the Pre-Ayutthaya period [pre-1351 AD] was mythical, but was transformed into that of a national hero in the modern Siamese period. In 1928, a group of Buddha images showing “a transition art between Dvaravati, Khmer and Siam,” in the Bangkok National Museum, was classified under the newly-coined term ‘U-thong art’ by G. Cœdès and Prince Damrong. But this group of Buddha images had been defined with other former terms such as ‘Pra Maung San’, ‘Lava-Pathima’, and ‘Kamboja-Pathima’. However, later Thai scholars, such as Manit Vallibhodom, disagreed with the term ‘U-thong art’ and coined another term, ‘Ayodhaya art’ instead, but this is still debated. Moreover, U-thong Buddha images share some characteristics with Post-Bayon Buddha images, leading to the question of why U-thong was not classified as Post-Bayon art. Even though the term ‘U-thong art’ is defined as a transition period in Thai art history, it has not been used in archaeological stratigraphy. As a result, the creation of ‘U-thong art’ reflects the emergence of the national history of Siam/Thailand and its boundaries with Cambodia. Moreover, the definition of the U-thong period (Samai U-thong) leads us to misunderstand the nature of the state polity in the Pre-Ayutthaya to Post-Bayon period.

This paper is a critique of writing art history based on identity politics. Racial identity is a colonial legacy that has profoundly influenced the socio-politics of Malaysia. Today, the government of Malaysia continues to propagate racial demarcation of its citizens. As such, national legislation is premised on the obligatory use of art for the advocacy of cultural practices based on a particular race - a significant trope for reinforcing Malay-Muslim identity in the production of personal, multicultural and national identities. Such a trope has been adopted by historians in their efforts to write a narrative of Malaysian art history. This paper argues for the rethinking of writing art history in terms of subjectivity instead of identity. It proposes that Malay identity is not innate but rather a social index that defines the lived-subjective experience of all Malaysians. More specifically, it tries to unshackle the utilization of “Malay” as an identity, or undo its colonial definition, and begin to consider “Malay” identity as a unifying factor that demands critical reconsideration of art’s role in contemporary Malaysia.

The aim of this paper is to consider the original signification of the ancient art objects, statues, yoni and stone pieces of ruined temples which were seen in the Neak Ta Meas (supernatural spirits) hut in Samrong village, Kampong Cham province, Cambodia. Placed in the sacred shrine of the Neak Ta Meas, those art materials were particularly worshiped by the villagers of Samrong; in addition, a traditional triennial ritual is regularly held with many distinctive aspects which are not seen in other regions, particularly the three-day performance of mating frogs, and the three-night performance of Neang Dong (meaning lady ‘Dong’). Most interestingly, this unique ritual seems to bring to light the original signification of the ancient art objects mentioned above. Then, the question arises of how the study of contemporary ritual practice might inform interpretations of ancient iconographies in the case of Samrong village. This paper will consider those art objects in association with ritual practice, as well as by comparison with previous researchers’ work in the same context.

For example, the Program of International Student Assessment (PISA) regards reading as a problem-solving activity and includes texts of different genres in its reading tests. This paper reports a study that required Thai secondary school students (N=140) to take four parts of the PISA reading test and a test of English vocabulary size (Nation, 1990). The reading and vocabulary size scores were correlated to establish whether vocabulary size was related to reading comprehension overall. A follow-up analysis calculated the correlations between vocabulary size and particular PISA reading skills: (a) retrieving information, (b) interpreting texts, and (c) reflecting and evaluating. While the results confirm that students with large vocabularies perform better in reading than those with smaller vocabularies, some reading skills appear to be more dependent on vocabulary than others.

In learning, including BIPA learning, maximum application of referential function is required. The research on explanative speech as the realization of representative,directive, and commissive speech acts shows the use of speech models. In classroom discourse, there are several models found: (1) reflective-suggestive, (2) informative-motivative, (3) informative-interpretative, (4) informative-applicative, (5) solutive-reflective, (6) informative-suggestive, (7) informative-reflective, and (8) narrative-suggestive. The models are the realization of the language functions revealed by Bühler and Jakobson. In learning BIPA, teachers should be able to apply learning models to strengthen pragmatic competence and be able to interpret knowledge and value. The management of BIPA learning, including teachers, requires pedagogical skills in the form of a distinct language awareness for BIPA.

This paper investigates the periodisation of ancient Hindu-Buddhist art of Southeast Asia. Pre-modern Hindu and Buddhist art and architecture of Southeast Asia has been the subject of much critical research. It is therefore timely to consider how the periodisation of these objects helps us better understand and appreciate them. The foundational question under consideration is: How have we categorised and organised classical Hindu-Buddhist art of Southeast Asia in time, vis-a-vis our understanding of the civilisations of which they were borne?

Folklore is a story that develops in a particular group of people. Folklore is originally developed orally and contains the story of an event in a place or the origin of something. As it evolves in a particular group of people, folklore may become a cultural mirror or become a projection of the society’s view of life. One example of folklore that developed in Yogyakarta is the story of Asal Mula Upacara Bekakak (The Origin of the Bekakak Ceremony). The Bekakak Ceremony is a ritual or tradition that is still performed by a group of people in Yogyakarta. The existence of tradition that is still performed routinely indicates that the people in Yogyakarta have their own views on the Bekakak Ceremony. This view of life can be found in the folklore Asal Mula Upacara Bekakak. This story demonstrates that the people of Yogyakarta have a very strong belief in the ancestors’ spirits and the beliefs are reflected through this folklore.

In 1929, under Syed Shaik Alkaff, the Alkaffs developed Japanese-style Lake Gardens on McPherson Road in Singapore. Japanese garden experts were brought in to create artificial hills, install Torii Gates and moon bridges, and build themed pavilions for hire. By the turn of the century, the Alkaffs had already become a prominent family of Arab merchants and saw a new entrepreneurial avenue for capital and spiritual growth in property development early on. In what manner can we locate this modern-day capitalist fairy tale within the creole histories of the Hadrami in the Malay world to account for the choice of developing a garden in a Japanese style? Postmodernism might account for its aesthetic pastiche but would not reveal the calculated choice in this selection of Japonaiserie. I suggest that the Lake Gardens were a reimagination of Rum as a civilizational concept, during a time when Japanese imperialism was in an ascendency. Nevertheless, this new Rum was transformed into a new kind of space that facilitated social experiences that we can qualify as ‘modern’. Even as the modern produces new political alignments and imperial imaginaries, part of it also offers a kind of escape valve. This line of flight can be found in the ‘epistemic disobedience’ of the Alkaff Lake Garden as an aesthetic reimagination that remediates the idea of justice in response to the fascist and colonial tendencies of civilization undergirding the martial project of Empire.

SEA STATE (2004-present) is a multimedia project by the Singaporean artist Charles Lim Yi Yong (b. 1973) that explores various imageries of the sea from personal, national, and geopolitical vantage points. Present throughout the various media is a ‘grid’ – an emblem of Euro-American modernism, whose complexity was theorised by Rosalind Krauss in 1979 . With intersections of horizontal and vertical lines, the grid is a structural motif in Lim’s series that binds otherwise disparate media and styles together.

The paper is an attempt to read Lim’s grids through the lens of Krauss’ essay. While appropriating the modernist signification of the grid, Lim makes his grids depart from Krauss’ discursive boundary by including social indices contained within and lying beyond this putatively totalising structure. Through this, Lim’s grids not only inherit the modernist aesthetic but also challenge its autonomy by embodying elements of control and dissent – all with specific references to reality, representation, and the outer world. By reading Lim’s grids through these double lenses, I hope to shed light on the complex networks of art historical legacy and subversion latent in Lim’s localised grids that results in a distinct aesthetic in itself.

The aims of this study is to discover the influence of Living Values Education (LVE) over the young people on how they appreciate the concept of beauty image as offered by the media and popular culture products and how LVE affects their satisfaction on their own beauty. The data collection was collected from 24 students of Campuhan College, Ubud, Bali through questionnaire and focus group discussion. Grounded on cultural studies tradition, this study indicates that LVE offers different color on shaping the young people’s perspective in appreciating the mainstream idea of beauty concept. They believe that beauty is defined more by characters and values rather than physical appearance.

Reading is one of four important language skills and it is influenced by the environment and motivation. Individuals’ reading motivation may differ from others and be influenced by their families’ reading habits. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between families’ reading habits and students’ motivation of 8th-grade students in public and private schools in Indonesia. This study is categorized as a survey research model and the participants in this study are the 8th grade of public and private schools in Indonesia during the school year 2018-2019. To collect the data, the instruments used in this study are questionnaire and interview which are adapted from the “reading motivation and engagement scale” developed by Guthrie and Klauda (2014). Then, the obtained data is categorized and analyzed to get the findings. According to the findings, there is a significant difference in terms of variables of gender and families’ habits. Also, there is a negative correlation between families’ reading habits and students’ reading motivation. Keywords: reading motivation families, reading habit reading

The overall objective of the project is to investigate and examine the case for defining the concept of online risks and opportunities in digital domain for children in Thailand by using Participatory Action Research Methodology via children’s participation. The method is designed to transform the children as the ‘objects’ of research to the ‘subjects’ of research who have their own power to influence the study and ultimately the development of digital resilience. The reflections from the participants identify mutually interrelated perceptions, and how these will impact on how risks approach in Thai society. My study argues that in the online world, many Thai children regularly take responsible risks, and build resilience for themselves. Where resiliency is a complex capacity to respond openly, within situations where risks and opportunities may be interwoven, and these situations may include the classroom itself, as well as personal, familial, and other social spaces and situations.

This mixed methods study aims to explore the problematic areas of pronunciation in a group of Thai EFL engineering students and whether such deficiency affects their self-confidence in speaking English. The concepts which frame the design come from the works of Jenkins (2002) and Deterding and Kirkpatrick (2006). To assess their speech intelligibility, two tasks including a set of vocabulary retrieved from their English textbook and a standard reading passage used in Speech-Language pathology were designed for the students to read aloud and the researchers analyzed their speech if there were any unintelligible phonetic features that interfered with the overall comprehension of the conversation. Classroom observations and interviews were carried out to evaluate their self-confidence. The findings will also be discussed.

The aim of this paper is to examine Chulayarnnon Siriphol’s mixed media exhibition Museum of Kirati (2018) in relation to hegemonic Thai historiography and collective memory through the lens of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s concept of rhizomes. I argue that the exhibition, regarded as an appropriation of the canonical Thai novella Khang Lang Phap, both interrogates the fixed hierarchy of Thai literature and challenges the homogeneity of Thai national memory. This rhizomatic exhibition reflects the trauma of fragmented subjects under the authoritarian regime and at the same time reveals the trace of minor histories that have been silenced and (mis)represented. The museumised memory of characters and the audience are deterritorialised by the exhibition’s multidirectional narratives and the defamiliarisation of recognised political references such as monuments, objects, and political figures, whose totalised meanings have already been assigned by the state to remind the audience of past violence that has been erased.

Laughter is included in most of our everyday conversation and to some extent laughter has cultural influences on building and maintaining human relationships. Nonetheless, how the laughter is used as a communication strategy in different business settings is an intriguing research area, and since the participants were from two countries the study has valid appeal. This paper sheds light on how laughter is used between Thai and Burmese participants in a restaurant and in a business meeting held in Yangon, Myanmar. The audio data taken from two settings were analysed using the ethnographic method while participant observations reported are based on extensive field notes, interviews and audio recordings. The analysis was based on the classification of laughter adopted from Hayakawa (2003) and Murata & Hori (2007), the findings reveal how laughter is involved, its functions and the factors, which stimulate the laughter in both informal and formal settings.

Economy of Japan grew remarkably from the 1950s to the 1980s. Since Japanese economy of those days was called “Efficiency-Driven Economic Growth”, the catch-up education was effective. However, Japanese economic growth has stopped from the 1990s to the present. Present Japanese economy is called “Innovation-Driven Economic Growth”, and entrepreneurship education is needed.

In addition, Japan has entered the decrease-in-the-birthrate age, and population is decreasing. The population outflow especially in a provinces part has had serious influence on local economy. In Fukui Prefecture which is one of the provinces parts of Japan, 62.8% of high school students go on to a university outside the prefecture. It is an ideal that they will return to their hometown in the future and that they will grow up the local economy. For that purpose, the education which feels the pride of their hometown is required.

Then, I investigated whether a high school could perform entrepreneurship and local identity education efficiently, if the company of same area participated in the high school student’s education. I conducted investigation for two years from April, A.D. 2016 to March, A.D. 2018. An examination method is the cohort study. I divided into B group in which the company of the area participated, and E group which does not involve, and measured the result. The candidates for investigation were about 160 students of 1 high school in Fukui Prefecture.

The 1st year, about the entrepreneurship, B group changed from 61.5 points to 68.8 points, and E group changed from 52.6 points to 65.9 points. About the local identity, B group changed from 47.9 points to 67.9 points, and E group changed from 37.7 points to 52.2 points. It was able to be shown that participation of the company induces a high effect in the local identity education from the above-mentioned result. However, the clear basis was not able to be shown about the entrepreneurship.

Then, I investigated in detail at the 2nd year. About 3 elements of the entrepreneurship, B course changed from 58.6 points, 37.9 points, and 47.3 points to 65.8 points, 54.2 points, and 61.5 points, against E course changed from 65.4 points, 43.1 points, and 51.2 points to 65.6 points, 53.9 points, and 58.2 points. About 3 elements of the local identity, B course is from 37.6 points, 56.3 points, and 32.4 points to 50.7 points, 63.2 points, and 36.0 points, against E course changed from 46.1 points, 65.0 points, and 43.5 points to 55.8 points, 62.6 points, and 40.9 points.

As mentioned above, this empirical study was able to show clearly the meaning that the company participates in the career education of the high school in Japanese local area.

The Korean Alphabet Exercise Book is the first resource for beginning learners of Korean, helping them practice reading, writing, and listening to Korean consonants and vowels, and giving them the skills to advance. An analysis of many Korean alphabet exercise books in Korea shows that they similarly focus on exercising consonant and vowel writing by practicing Korean vocabulary. Based on my experience teaching beginners’ Korean language courses, some groups of students feel that Korean is rather difficult, resulting in boredom with study. As a result, I am attempting to develop a new Korean alphabet exercise book based on connecting with student’s existing knowledge according to David Ausubel’s Theory of Meaningful Verbal Learning. This research tries to link the Korean alphabet with student’s existing knowledge and interests through games and activities, in order to stimulate students’ enjoyment throughout study time. During the research process, this new book has been critiqued by experts, and then improved and evaluated by students again. The evaluation survey shows that most students are highly satisfied with the classification of learning units, sequence of presentation, content, activities, and artwork.

On June 15, 2017, soldiers and plainclothes officers visited Cartel Artspace and Gallery VER in Bangkok. The two adjacent galleries were hosting contemporary art exhibitions, The Shards Would Shatter at Touch by Tada Hengsapkul and Whitewash by Harit Srikhao. The first exhibition depicted stories of political prisoners, while the latter recalled the 2010 military crackdown on the Redshirt protests in Bangkok. Thailand has been ruled by a junta, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), since 2014, but this was the first time that visual art exhibitions had attracted state officers. However, the military stormed the galleries because of the incorrect impression that Prontip “Kolf” Mankong, a theatre artist who had been convicted of lèse-majesté for the play Wolf Bride, was hosting Hengsapkul’s exhibition. In fact, Mankong wrote an article about this exhibition on Prachatai, criticising the use of a photograph of her visage without her permission. The paper will problematize the concept of freedom of expression and the critical engagement between art and political issues. It aims to stimulate a dialogue about deeper understandings of political victims and a responsible and ethical discourse concerning artistic activities.

Even though it is hard to declare that there is feminist art in Vietnam, feminist consciousness in Vietnamese art does exist. This concept can be defined as the awareness of artists of feminism and how they convey that in their works. In fact, Vietnamese experienced historical change in different phases, including the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh’s declaration of independence in 1945, the wars, the reconstruction, reunification and the development of the country. Feminist consciousness, which was formed in Vietnamese art in the period from 1945 to 1954, was received by artists in various ways. Therefore, the representation of Vietnamese women in visual art changed dramatically, from warrior women in the war to female workers in the factories, and most recently modern women who own their lives and do not hesitate to express their views. The transformation of feminist consciousness in Vietnamese art is also a way to rethink national history, and views on the culture, politics, and history of Vietnamese art correlate with other countries in Southeast Asia.

Speaking skills, including learning the mother tongue language, require a long learning process due to different pronunciation of letters, numbers, and words. One’s speaking skill is strongly influenced by one’s ability to listen to speech sounds. Based on this fact, this study aims to clarify the process of designing a voice dictionary application and implementing that application to practice speaking skills for foreign speakers. This applied research uses software in the form of an android based application to facilitate foreign speakers in learning speaking. The research process is conducted by inputting the material of letters, numbers, and words in the Indonesian language accompanied by the speech sound. This audiovisual medium is designed in the form of an android-based application that can be accessed with offline mobile phones. Sources of data in this study are obtained from the observation of the learning needs of foreign speakers and the process of designing a voice dictionary application. In addition, the data are also taken from the subject of research as test media to find out the evaluation of the design of the application.

The highland region of the east bank of the Salween River, in modern northwestern Thailand, has been perceived as a borderland since the thirteenth century. However, this paper argues that this perception is derived from two sources: a centre-periphery focus in which the lowland is seen as a centre and the highland as a periphery and borderland; and a modern concept of national borders introduced to this region in the nineteenth century. Seeing the highland as a lowland state periphery reinforces the lowland-centric model in explaining state polities of Southeast Asia, while political dynamics and interrelations between highland and lowland peoples are left out from the explanation.

This paper aims to 1) argue that the highland region of Salween should not simply be seen as a borderland or buffer zone of lowland states, and 2) examine highland political dynamics and polities in relation to lowland polities. Four major sources, ethnographic data, historical records, archaeological evidence, and chronicles will be reviewed and analysed in this paper.

The teaching of Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) in Indonesia has been developing. The implementation of this BIPA teaching is an effort of soft diplomacy of Indonesia to many countries in the world. Many agencies providing BIPA in Indonesia have kept growing and each of them has developed various teaching materials to introduce even more richness of Indonesian language and culture. The Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, as one of the BIPA teaching providers in Indonesia, especially in Bandung City, has been trying to introduce the diversity within Indonesian language and culture. One of the particular subjects provided in advanced classes is the Understanding of Non-formal Language. This subject teaches informal vocabulary of Indonesian to the learners. The vocabulary taught is Indonesian non-formal vocabulary used in various registers such as the Indonesian used in chick flicks, blogs, cartoons, advertisements, and songs. The purpose of this subject is to make the learners familiar with the informal vocabulary of Indonesian used in various registers and daily conversations by Indonesian people in the neighborhood where the learners of BIPA live.

Critical literacy has been in the interest of both Western and Eastern educators for decades. Most studies place emphasis on how to implement critical literacy into an EFL classroom. The implications from theories and those studies have confirmed that critical literacy can be promoted in the language classrooms (Freebody & Luke, 1990; Freire, 2014; Janks et al., 2014; Lewison et al., 2015). However, little is known about examining students’ perceptions on promoting critical stance in a Thai context. Therefore, this study mainly focused on students’ perceptions towards promoting critical stance in the classroom of the freshman students. The findings indicated twofold insights: the benefits and the concerns. This paper suggests that practices based on critical stance promotion facilitated students to have extensive and profound learning experience. The classroom utilized students’ life experience as valuable learning sources and supported meaningful language learning.

From the suicide rate of Korean Society has been highest among the OECD countries for more than ten years. As a result, Korean society was judged to be a social of tension and depression which is the reason for the dead or those who decide to bereave themselves’ life. From this phenomonon, many of researchers from various disciplines rethink about the cause or origin of suicide. One of the great classic suicide theory, such as Durkhime’s Le’ Suicide had been re-visit. Durkhiem argued that suicide could be caused by social factor. The conceptual framework of social factors of suicide are Anomic, Altruism, Egoism, Fatalism. Based on Durkheim’s conceptual framework, emphasis is placed on the causes of social ifself. He considered that people who commit suicide because of the social structure that holds people together. Social integration and social regulation are both variables that contribute to suicide. The weak social integration due to rapid development of Korea socio economy, social changes have made the collapse of social solidarity. And starting separated from each other. Individualization, Urbanization, Nuclear family, Industrialized society caused many changes in society. When social change in many dimensions brought distances between people in society it causes stress. As Korea has a higher suicide rate, the government and private organizations are paying attention. A preventive approach to reduce suicide both formal and informal, but it’s not seem to solve the problem at the real root cause.

Suicide rates have not decreased as intended. Therefore, with the complex conditions that still chronic, it is still a sociological problem that still requires more research and practical framework to solve the problem in Korean social reality.

The research is about linguistic landscape centred on the role of English as a global language for wider communication by Thai people in three major transport hubs in Thailand - Suvarnabhumi airport, Don Muang airport and Barommaratchachonnani bus terminal- as case studies. The signs are categorised based on 1) the sense of ownership, namely, official and commercial to see the leading roles of Thai/ English languages, and 2) the languages they display, namely, monolingual, bilingual, trilingual and multilingual to see the role of foreign language(s) on signs in these transport hubs. The results point to three key issues. Firstly, English is becoming a dominant foreign language on signs in the main transport hubs in Thailand. Secondly, American English is more often used than British English. Finally, the existence of English on signs is associated with the intended target audience and the number of international visitors at each data collection site.

Drawing upon Pat Brereton’s notion of ecocinema, this article analyzes Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (2008) from ecocritical stance and magical realism by scrutinizing its cinematic techniques along with dialogues that point to the thought-provoking scenes the film director subtly intersperses throughout the film. Focusing on the protagonist’s developing bond with the non-human other, Ponyo, and the depiction of environmental disaster, this article postulates that the director deploys the elements of magical realism to delineate human’s harmonious coexistence with the environment and also its impending catastrophe. Specifically, the film merges the magical elements to capture and visualize human’s discernment of the physical reality to lay bare the solution to our long-lasting environmental crisis. It will also further argue that the film’s strategy to use apocalyptic vision galvanizes the audience to be more aware of environmental crisis, calling upon their actions.

This article aims to analyse the pressing issue of religiously motivated hate speech as well as to argue for the engagement of religious moral principles to the restriction of religiously motivated hate speech. In light of the literature on the relationships between religion and hate speech restriction, it was found that most of the scholarly writings place the focus on seeking appropriate normative standards for religious hate speech restriction but they pay insufficient attention to the engagement of religious moral principles to such efforts. This article thus argues that religious moral principles should be engaged as the normative standards for the religiously motivated hate speech restriction. The effort may involve fixing conflicts found within the religious doctrines by means of interpretation. Examples of the effort in Islamic moral principles are also delineated.

화랑은 원화제도를 대체한 신라 사회의 남성 집단이다. 원화의 본질을 이어받은 화랑의 첫번째

임무는 신궁을 비롯하여 천신, 산신, 용신, 부락에서 모시는 각종 제사를 받드는

일이었다. 하지만 왕족 및 귀족 자제들이 대거 소속된 이후부터, 화랑은 천하를 유오하며

공동체 생활을 통해 도의와 체력을 길러 이를 통해 인재양성에 힘썼다. 화랑세기에 의하면,

화랑으로부터 어진 재상과 충성스러운 신하, 훌륭한 장군과 용감한 병졸이 나와 후에

삼국통일의 대업을 이루는 근간이 되었다고 한다. 화랑은 여러 계급이 있었고, 화랑의

There’s been an increasing influx of foreign students into Thai universities, thus, the coexistence of cultures. Silence, as a communicative act, in face-to-face spontaneous interaction, has been under-investigated in linguistic politeness research in Thailand. This study therefore investigates the situational contexts that might lead to face-threat in a Thai multicultural university where Thai students, in foreign-peer interaction, use silence to save face. 20 students’ interactions were sampled using micro-socio-ethnographic technique, with data from observation, interview, and questionnaire. Brown and Levinson (1987) face-threat politeness approach was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that: expected hurting words, bullying, unexpected negative change in hearer’s mood, defenceless situations, unintelligent discussion where speaker’s presence is imperative, fear of public senior-peer correction, low English proficiency, and speaker’s desire not to be interrupted, were the main circumstances where Thai students use silence, respectively. The findings have implication for better intercultural awareness in multicultural contexts.

The production of Burma/Myanmar’s colonial borders is often viewed through the lens of British imperial expansion. Borders, of course however, demarcate contact with a range of other actors. Decolonising knowledge about border regions, therefore, also requires more than simply a downplaying of the knowledge frameworks of a singular colonial entity but rather requires a more complex reflection on the host of different actors who were involved in the production of borders and borderlands at different times and places. Furthermore, the decolonisation of knowledge about marginalised border areas involves not just a critique of a particular system of power set in a historical period, it also requires a sensitivity to the ongoing ways in which hierarchical systems of knowledge are perpetuated in ways that extend long past the formal ending of colonial rule. Where research pertains to places that are marginal to the predominant national narrative, decolonisation of knowledge involves far more than simply the replacement of one set of sources for another, or the identification of a local ‘voice’. In this presentation, I will examine some of the ways in which the decolonisation agenda can be a helpful check on making simplistic assumptions about the political reordering of knowledge about the past of Burma/Myanmar’s borders and the communities inhabiting them, in order to progress to more nuanced and deeper understanding of the relationship of these areas to the region’s history.
