"We want students to be motivated to carry out new research in the field of contemporary literature. Hopefully "This activity can encourage students to produce quality research in the field of language and literature," he said.
In the material session, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics expert from UINSA, Prof. Dr. phil. Kamal Yusuf, SS, M.Hum., explained about "Linguistic Landscape and Language Teaching". He explained that around the 60-90s there was more linguistic research of a theoretical nature.
In the following period, linguistics developed and collided with other sciences which today is called applied linguistics. One of the linguistic studies that considered new and currently developing is the linguistic landscape.
The linguistic landscape, he continued, is writing or language found in public spaces such as markets, shops, schools, campuses, places of worship, squares, offices and so on .
The linguistic landscape itself combines language, words and images. Examples include street names, agency names displayed, traffic signs, area names at entrance gates or gates, and the like.
"So having writings around humans can help more people understand what is meant by that place," he said.
He further explained that the perspective in linguistic landscape studies encompasses the domains of language policy, sociolinguistics, onomastics, semiotics, economics, education, teaching, advertising, religious studies, and other scientific disciplines with study themes that include multilingualism , globalization, power relations, geopolitics, contestation, and the virtual world.
"The development of linguistic landscape research is still relatively small and the study is still new, so for students who intend to research and submit to international journals the opportunities are wide open ," he explained.

At the end of the material, the lecturer who received the award as the outstanding Indonesian artist in 2017 gave a message, that literary criticism is not only about aesthetics. But it's about how we can think critically and how to respond to the surrounding environment.
