Preventing Hoax News, Unsam PKM Team Holds Forensic Linguistics Training at SMP Muhammadiyah Tamiang
The Community Service Implementation Team (PkM) of Universitas Samudra conducted training and introduction of Forensic Linguistics to students of SMP Muhammadiyah Kuala Simpang, on August 8, 2024.
The team was led by Joko Hariadi and members Wilsa, Prima Nucifera and Nur Amelia.
Joko Hariadi said the training and introduction of forensic linguistics among Muhammadiyah Kuala Simpang Junior High School students was a form of hoax news prevention.
According to him, currently, language has an increasingly strong role in solving legal cases, one of which is marked by the development of forensic linguistics.
Forensic linguistics is a cross between language, crime and law that involves law enforcement officials, court affairs, legislation, court disputes and so on.
“With forensic linguistics, legal cases caused by language can be more easily handled,” Joko said, to acehinfo.id, Tuesday, August 27, 2024.
Then, the openness and freedom of information with the opening of valves through social media, on the one hand, creates problems when many students do not understand that there are ethics in language.
However, on the other hand, it encourages collaboration between lawyers and linguists to resolve criminal and civil cases related to language.
He continued, as a social semiotic system, language is a socially shared sign. The mode of language can be oral (language sounds) or written (spelling and punctuation).
In conveying signs, language can be combined with other modes, such as visuals (pictures and videos). These modes can be put together to convey meaning.
This combination of modes (multimodality) can be used as data in forensic linguistic analysis (forensic text). This text has implications for legal and criminal contexts.
The Head of the Department of Language and Arts at FKIP Universitas Samudra emphasized that when linguists are asked to translate evidence in a case, they must show their mastery so that the results can be accounted for.
Forensic linguistics is linguistics that looks at the root of a problem related to the law. When we translate, especially sworn translators, it means that we must be able to show our mastery because if it is wrong, it will certainly become a problem in the law.
He mentioned that the scope of forensic linguistics is not only limited to cases in digital media. But more broadly, forensic linguistics even enters the academic world, such as the issue of plagiarism. According to him, plagiarism checking machines do not necessarily describe plagiarism just because the similarity test is high, so it needs to be rechecked by linguists.
Meanwhile, Wilsa mentioned that in studying forensic text, the context in which the text appears must also be considered. Context is all situations and things that are outside the text and affect language use, such as the linguistic, physical, or mental environment referred to by the user.
For example, there are posts on social media about insults to a person or institution. The posts are visual, audio, and written.
Then, the three modes must be studied, whether there are elements of crime in it when referring to the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law) or the reform of the Criminal Code (KUHP) established by the government.
On the same occasion, Nur Amelia, who is an Indonesian Language Lecturer at Unsam, said that this training program is a strategic step that is very relevant to the current situation.
The program can equip students with the ability to critically analyze language, recognize the characteristics of fake news, and understand the social and legal impacts of spreading misinformation.
“Thus, students are not only more sensitive to hoaxes, but can also become agents of positive change in their environment,” he concluded.
BEM FISIP Unimal Presents Hundreds of MSME Seminar Participants with AMANAH
FoBEM FISIP Malikussaleh University together with AMANAH Aceh carried out MSME Seminar activities with the theme “Students as the Motor of MSME Drivers: From Idea to Implementation” on Friday, August 30, 2024 in North Aceh.
The North Aceh MSME Seminar, which was attended by hundreds of participants, was carried out to provide students with a deeper understanding of the strategic role we can take in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
In his speech, Subani, Vice Dean 3 for Student Affairs and Alumni of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, emphasized the importance of the role of students as agents of change. “Through this seminar, we hope that students are not only able to create creative ideas, but can also implement these ideas to build strong and competitive MSMEs,” he said.
This seminar also received full appreciation from Zulhery, as the Head of BEM FISIP UNIMAL, who emphasized that the collaboration between Amanah Aceh and BEM FISIP UNIMAL is a form of good synergy in encouraging students to be more actively involved in the world of entrepreneurship. “We are committed to continuing to facilitate activities that build student potential and skills, especially in the MSME sector which is the backbone of the nation’s economy,” said Zulhery.
Taufik Hidayat as the chairman of the committee said “I hope that through this event, we can all add insight and knowledge to provide students with a deeper understanding of the strategic role we can take in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)”.
Sufi, the first speaker as Kaprodi as well as UNIMAL Business Administration lecturer, said “For an entrepreneur, process is very much needed. The difference between traders and business people is that traders only trade their merchandise to meet their needs, while business people have plans to develop their business and expand their reach. An entrepreneur must have courage”.
Yasur Arafat, the second speaker as a Young Entrepreneur, said “Teenagers must understand MSMEs because they can create their own jobs and businesses. MSMEs are micro, small and medium enterprises that are further divided into levels. The reasons why teenagers need to understand MSMEs are that they can provide insight into business turnover in supporting the local economy, spark creativity, can teach skills such as business and financial management, HR management, marketing management, branding strategies, public speaking and business negotiations.”
Dahlan Ar Rahman, the third speaker as the former Chairman of the Small Business Incubation Center (PINBUK) said “the most important thing in a business attitude is commitment and the value of togetherness. In starting a business, commitment, human resources and togetherness are needed, not just a desire. Policies in the environment and groups in business can affect the success of doing business “.
It is hoped that with the MSME Seminar activities, students will not only help MSMEs develop, but also gain practical experience that can be useful in their future careers.
