Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study presents the process of writing a novelette entitled Angel Blooms in the Darkness, developed as part of a Research and Development (R&D) project using Plomp's model. The research addresses identified issues including low student awareness of writing skills, insufficient motivation to write, limited knowledge of novelettes as a literary form, and inadequate understanding of novelette structure. The study employed five stages: preliminary investigation, design, realisation/construction, test and evaluation, and implementation. The resulting novelette—7,631 words, 41 pages in A5 format—follows the drama romance genre featuring Generation Z protagonists and applies Freytag's Pyramid narrative structure across its prologue, eleven chapters, and epilogue. Four experts, two in literary writing and two in English, validated the manuscript, yielding an average score of 3.19 out of 4 from literary writing experts and 3.00 out of 4 from English experts. The validated product was subsequently published on Wattpad. Findings confirm that the novelette serves as an effective and accessible medium for developing students' creative writing skills and increasing their motivation to write. Keywords: writing skills, novelette, Generation Z, Freytag's Pyramid, Research and Development

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of learning Language Etiquette in English for Professional Purposes courses in higher education. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and students’ reflective journals from vocational college students. The findings indicate that Language Etiquette learning enhances students’ confidence, politeness, and ability to communicate appropriately in multicultural professional contexts. Role-play, case studies, and simulation activities were perceived as particularly effective; although some students struggled to apply etiquette principles in spontaneous or formal interactions. The study concludes that integrating Language Etiquette into English instruction strengthens students’ pragmatic and intercultural competence and recommends the use of more contextualized and interactive learning activities to improve practical application.   Keywords: Language etiquette, students’ perceptions, intercultural communication, qualitative study, professional English   DOI: https://zenodo.org/records/18084645
