    Academic Journal Perspective : Education Language and Literature, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ratnawati Ratnawati
    Abstract:

    Writing, one of the four skills which have to be taught by educators in language learning. Starting from classroom observation implied that students confronted the difficulties in writing involving generating ideas, organizing words, and making compositions.

Due to Pop Culture relates to students’ life and experience, it is considered to be a stimulus for gaining students’ ideas, information, motivation, and interest in teaching writing. The students of secondary school were involved in this study and descriptive case study was employed to observe the importance of Pop Culture in writing class. Also, questionnaires and students’ works are the instruments to measure its effects. Both students’ works and result of the questionnaires pointed out that significantly improvement obtained after applying Pop Culture. In line with findings, it can be said that Pop Cultures have significant effects toward students’ writing skill. So, educators need to apply Pop Culture as their choices in future planning lesson.

  • Pop Culture, destination images, and visit intentions: Theory and research on travel motivations of Chinese and Russian tourists
    Journal of Business Research, 2016
    Co-Authors: Haesung Whang, Sunghwa Yong
    Abstract:

    A worldwide phenomenon is occurring whereby tourists visit specific locations due to the content of Pop Culture. This study applies the concept of Pop Culture involvement to tourism discourse. The study classifies Pop Culture involvement on an enduring level and a situational level regarding its influence on the formation of destination image and visit intention. Finally, the study analyzes the difference within structural models between China and Russia. The results indicate that situational involvement and enduring involvement have different effects on the structural model. Results also show different path results depending on nationalities.

  • Exploring Writing Pattern with Pop Culture Ingredients for Social User Modeling
    2019 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2019
    Co-Authors: Linjing Li, Daniel Zeng
    Abstract:

    Social networks have significantly altered the behavior patterns of netizens all around the world. Therefore, accurate and expressive model of social users is increasingly demanded as it pose great value in a variety of scenarios, such as e-commerce, cyber security, and entertainment to name a few. In this paper, we propose the Pop Culture Attention Writing Model (PAWM) to explore the writing patterns of social users by explicitly capturing the influence of Internet Pop Culture ingredients with an attention mechanism. The writing pattern representations are learned by a memory network through storing and updating historical latent patterns. We then develop the Deep Social User Model via jointly modeling basic properties of social users, temporal contents, and the learned writing patterns based on PAWM. This paper is the first trial, to the best of our knowledge, which captures Internet Pop Culture information and applies deep neural network to model user writing pattern. A series of experiments conducted on social bot detection and social user identification demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of the proposed models.
