Abstract

This study examined how the English for Nusantara textbooks represent identity and politeness in fostering students’ sociolinguistic competence across multiple grade levels. Using a qualitative case study design with content analysis, the study analyzed 93 identity-related words and phrases from all texts and 208 politeness-related utterances drawn exclusively from scripted dialogues. The findings indicate that the textbooks promote national identity through the incorporation of local names, places, foods, address forms, and other cultural references into English discourse. In terms of politeness, the textbooks contain 19 bald-on-record, 170 positive politeness, 18 negative politeness, and 1 off-record strategy, with positive politeness emerging as the dominant strategy that fosters solidarity, approval, and cooperation in peer interactions. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the English for Nusantara textbooks represent learners’ sociolinguistic competence through language identity and politeness. However, this representation remains partial and requires further development to more comprehensively capture uniquely Indonesian identities and a broader range of politeness strategies. This highlights the need for more comprehensive cultural content and more varied interactional contexts, encompassing both formal and informal interactions that reflect authentic language use.

Abstract

Public speaking skills in the context of khitobah are essential for students to support educational and da’wah activities. Students of MA Al-Muayyad Surakarta possess good potential due to their religious knowledge. However, challenges remain, including limited understanding of khitobah techniques, lack of confidence, and anxiety, compounded by the absence of regular practice. This community service program aims to provide reinforcement of students’ public speaking skills through khitobah training. The program involved problem sidentification, training, and evaluation using a service learning approach that integrates material delivery and direct practice. The achievement of the training program was evaluated through questionnaires and interviews to obtain an overview of participants’ responses and perceptions. The results indicate positive responses, with 84.2% of participants feeling assisted in understanding concepts and techniques, 79.9% reporting greater confidence, and 84.8% feeling more capable of managing nervousness. Interviews also suggest perceived benefits in self-confidence and readiness to perform. Overall, the training contributes positively to students’ readiness to engage in public speaking activities in both school and community contexts.
