Some scholars allow the acceptance of wages on condition that there is a reasonable tariff agreement between the two parties, so that tariffs that burden the patient are unacceptable. This study aims to 1) analyze the phenomenon of commodification in ruqyah practices on social media, 2) explain the impact of commodification of ruqyah practices on social media. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with virtual ethnographic analysis. This study uses the commodification theory initiated by Karl Marx in 1867. This study fills the gap in previous studies by offering a new perspective on the relationship between technology, commodification, and spiritual medicine in Islam. Unlike previous studies that focused on traditional ruqyah, this study highlights changes in ruqyah practices in cyberspace and their impact on people's spiritual understanding. The results of this study indicate that the commodification of ruqyah, although providing easy access and increasing the visibility of spiritual medicine, risks changing the essence and main purpose of ruqyah itself. Socially, this paid practice can affect the relationship between practitioners and patients, create inequality, and change people's perceptions of spiritual values in medicine. Spiritually, commodification has the potential to reduce the depth of understanding and application of ruqyah in a religious context. This study offers important insights into the dynamics between technology, commercialization, and spiritual practices in contemporary society.2025-05-21T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://jurnal.untag-sby.ac.id/index.php/parafrase/article/view/13159Blended Learning Method in Korean Final Consonant Pronunciation Learning for Beginner Indonesian KFL Learners2025-05-21T15:26:49+00:00Asma Azizahasma.azizah@upi.eduVelayeti Nurfitriana Ansasvelaansas@upi.eduThe difference between the writing and pronunciation of the final consonants in Korean language has been considered as one of the causes that makes students learning Korean as a foreign language (KFL) find it difficult to pronounce Korean words correctly. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to investigate the beginner students’ pronunciation of the final consonants in Korean. Data were collected from 15 students of the Korean Language Education Department, FPBS, UPI, who were asked to pronounce 10 Korean words with final consonants. PRAAT application was used to analyze pronunciation errors. The results show that the percentage of final consonant error pronunciation is 37%. Based on the analysis, participanting students who have high GPA, knowledge of pronunciation theory, and Indonesian as a native language pronounced final consonants better. The data also shows that students’ knowledge of vocabulary was not always linear with pronunciation realization. It depended on the phonological and morphological environments of the vocabulary. These analysis results were then used to inform the design of our flipped classroom model for the implementation of blended learning on Korean final consonant pronunciation.2025-05-21T15:17:49+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
