Fashion is a part of people's lifestyle, especially teenagers. Their needs in seeking for an identity and being recognized make them pay more attentions to every things that are booming in their circles. Local trend can be spread quickly to entire world because of the improvement of mass media effect. Through Korean drama, people of Indonesia got enough details about Korean fashion, called K-Style. K-Style surprisingly attracted the teens audience and motivated them to imitate those style. Peer Group Interactions also take an important role in K-Style imitation behavior. Necessities for being praised and accepted made their personality became capricious and emotionally unstable. For that reason, this study aims to analyze the influence of intensity of Korean drama program in television and Peer Group Interactions to K-Style imitation behavior among teenagers.Keywords : intensity, media, peer group, K-Style, imitation behavior.

This study examines the behavioural intentions of international tourists travelling to Beijing when faced with smog pollution. An extended MGB (model of goal-directed behaviour) was employed as the theoretical framework by integrating mass-media effect and perception of smog. The role of mass-media effect and perception of smog were considered as new variables in the international tourist’s decision-making process for travel to Beijing. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to identify the structural relationships among research variables. Our research results showed a strong correlation between positive anticipated emotion and desire. The mass-media effect is a significant (direct) predictor of both the perception of smog and behavioural intention. The Chinese government could attach great importance to the mass-media effect to reduce the negative impact caused by smog pollution on inbound tourism.

The mobile phone has become an indispensable mean of communication in the world today, and for teenagers specifically has become de rigueur in everyday life. The eagerness of teenagers to embrace mobile devices can be associated with such devices' instrumental as well as social and expressive functions. However, these functions are intertwined with critical impacts on the interaction between teenagers and parental/peer groups. On the one hand, the mobile phone acts as a symbolic “umbilical cord” that provides a permanent channel of communication, intensifying parental surveillance. On the other hand, it creates a greater space for interaction with peers beyond parental monitoring and control. This article summarizes current research and presents an empirical example of the impact of teenagers' mobile phone communication on the dynamics of parental and peer group interactions during their socialization and emancipation from the familial sphere.

AbstractIn this study we argue that a focus on language learning ecologies, that is, situations for participation in various communicative practices, can shed light on the intricate processes through which minority children develop or are constrained from acquiring cultural and linguistic competencies (here, of a majority language). The analysis draws on a language socialization approach to examine the micro-level contexts of an immigrant child’s preschool interactions with peers and teachers, and the interplay between these and macro-level language and educational policies. It was found that, in contrast to institutional and curricular policy aspirations concerning the positive potentials of children’s play as a site associated with core learning affordances, the language learning ecology created in the multilingual peer group interactions was limited. Social relations in the peer group, the novice’s marginal social position, and the child’s rudimentary knowledge of the lingua franca, Swedish, precluded her from gaining access to shared peer play activities. The current study thus corroborates prior research showing that peer interactions in second language settings may pose a challenge to children who have not already achieved some competence in the majority language and that more support and interactions with the teachers can be useful.

SUMMARY The Study of English—A European Problem: A New Cybernetic Pedagogical Proposal English is progressively becoming the de facto lingua franca of the entire world. Whereas the imposition of Latin by the Romans took centuries, the imposition of English may be accomplished in only one or two generations, for English has at its disposal not only the political and economic strength of the English-speaking countries, but also the even more decisive strength of the mass media. This spread of English poses a danger to non-English cultures, for English is a living language, and a living language is not a neutral and aseptic instrument of communication. As the expression, the bearer of a Weltanschauung, it is intolerent and will tend to replace all other Weltanschauungen with its own. The only rational response to this danger is a radical one, the introduction, as a lingua franca, of a language without the destructive capacity of English, a language that is not anyone's mother tongue and does not have the cultural and political force of a people or a state behind it. What is needed is a language that is both neutral and adaptable. Only a planned language can meet these needs, and, of all the planned languages, only Esperanto has been in use long enough and has sufficient "infrastructure" (i.e., a wide-ranging literature and a considerable number of speakers) to be equal to the task. This article suggests that the main obstacle to worldwide acceptance of Esperanto is not the sociological strength of English but the widespread subconscious and distressing feeling that the use of an invented language, completely lacking in historical traditions, would signify, both individually and collectively, a radical "loss of identity." A way out of this dilemma, the author believes, is offered by modern linguistic cybernetic research, which suggests that the study of Esperanto is the best and most practical preparation for the study of a living language in general, an Indo-European language in particular, and English most particularly. The author proposes that the study of Esperanto be introduced, not as an end in itself, but as a means of learning English more easily and successfully. This solution is further discussed in the context of the European Federation. RESUMO Studi la anglan ekde la elementa lernejo—Eùropa problemo: Nova pedagogia-kibernetika propono La angla lingvo iompostiome farigas la efektiva lingua franca de la tuta mondo. Kvankam la romianoj bezonis kelkajn jarcentojn por altrudi la latinan lingvon, la altrudo de la angla eble efektivigos en nur unu aŭ du generacioj, car la angla lingvo disponas ne nur pri la politika kaj ekonomia forto de la anglalingvaj landoj, sed ankaŭ pri la ec pli decida forto de la amasmedioj. Tiu disvastiĝo de la angla prezentas dangeron por neanglaj kulturoj, car la angla estas vivanta lingvo, kaj vivanta lingvo ne estas neŭtrala kaj asepsa instrumento de komunikado. Kiel la esprimilo, la portanto de mondkoncepto, ĝi estas netolerema kaj emos anstataŭigi ciujn aliajn mondkonceptojn per la propra. La sola racia respondo al tiu ci dangero estas radikala: la enkonduko, kiel lingua franca, de lingvo, kiu ne posedas la detrukapablon de la angla, lingvo, kiu estas nenies denaska lingvoi kaj ne havas la kulturan kaj politikan forton de iu popolo aŭ stato malantaù si. Oni bezonas lingvon kaj neŭtralan kaj adapteblan. Nur planlingvo povas respondi al tiuj bezonoj, kaj, el ciuj eblaj planlingvoj, nur Esperanto havas sufice longan historion de utiligo kaj posedas sufican substrukturon (t.e. vasta literaturo kaj konsider-inda nombro da parolantoj) por plenumi la taskon. Tiu ci artikolo sugestas, ke la cefa obstaklo al tutmonda akceptigo de Esperanto ne estas la sociologia forteco de la angla, sed la large disvastigita subkonscia kaj mal-trankviliga sento, ke utiligo de inventita lingvo, al kiu komplete mankas historiaj tradicioj, signifus, kaj ce la kolektivo, radikalan "perdon de identeco." Eliron el tiu dilemo, laû la aŭtoro, proponas moderna lingvistika kibernetika esplorado, kiu sugestas, ke la studado de Esperanto estas la plej bona kaj plej praktika preparo por studi ciun ajn vivantan lingvon, precipe hindeuropan lingvon, kaj tute precipe la anglan. La aŭtoro proponas, ke oni enkonduku la studadon de Esperanto, ne kiel celo en si mem, sed kiel ilo por lerni la anglan pli facile kaj sukcese. Tiun solvon oni diskutas pli détale en la kunteksto de eùropa federaciigo.

AbstractIn this paper I describe how a group of speakers participating in a longitudinal study develop patterns of linguistic practices as well as norms for their use over time. The group at issue consists of speakers with a Turkish minority background living in Denmark. Data were collected from this group during their nine years of compulsory school and again in their mid-twenties. From a very early age this group of speakers acquires linguistic repertoires which involve features associated with several “languages”, of which the most influential are Turkish and Danish. I will show how they develop ways of employing large parts of those repertoires in their languaging practices and how at the same time they increasingly express an awareness of the fact that they are living in languagised world. I will do so by analysing instances where the participants explicitly refer to languages in peer group interactions, discuss observations concerning patterns of languaging in the same types of interactions, and consider the development of both phenomena.

The article deals with various aspects of on the reproduction of young people’s ethno-cultural identities in the contexts of everyday family practices, ethno-religious education and peer group interactions within a wider multiethnic environment. The focus is on the problems of harmonizing the regulatory require- ments of the family and the wider socio-cultural environment of the multi-ethnic region, within which ethnic constructions are redefined. Actualization of behavior model occurs in the process of realizing all the barriers and resources that are signif- icant at a given time. One of the factors that determine the family practices of main- taining traditional culture and personal adaptation in foreign cultural conditions is the involvement in social networks, migration plans, and intra-family careers. At the same time, the problem of reconciling different regulatory requirements of the family and the social environment is most clearly manifested in the space of gender roles and regimes. In addition, in multi-ethnic and multi-confessional communi- ties, the confessional aspect of the “friend-foe” opposition is clearly manifested in everyday interaction with pear groups, and ethnic identity, based on the ideas of one’s own people, traditions, lifestyle, character and behavior of others, is the basis for the formation of interethnic relations among young people.

WhatsApp was evaluated as a peer coach group support tool in a healthy lifestyle intervention with 15 young professionals. These individuals were time-constrained professionals, so two design challenges were to create enough attractiveness and quality in the peer group interactions. There were three main health domains: food, physical activity, and mental energy. As a result of the 12 week pilot, there were 127 WhatsApp peer coaching inputs. The variety of inputs was better than in a previous pilot; peer coaching quality improved; plus there was more continuity following the initial two weeks. Community building remained a challenge, especially in the longer run. Two design solutions seemed to work: pre-designed coach-inputs across health domains, plus the instructions for a health advocate from the group, per health domain. Based on the results, the authors hypothesize that user needs in the first five weeks were well supported but that user support needs seemed to change after the initial five weeks, which impacted the perceived added value from the WhatsApp group.
