Abstract

Teacher-student politeness has been well-explored over the years, but mostly in direct or face-to-face communication. This study aims to fill the gap of politeness between students and educators in online learning, specifically in the sessions of one of the staple and most used educational platforms during the Covid-19 pandemic, namely Google Classroom. This study applies qualitative research method by describing the phenomenon of the language. This study observed the interaction of 36 English Literature Department students during their Google Classroom sessions from April to July 2021. The researchers analysed the students’ interaction with their lecturer according to Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory. Five politeness strategies were identified, namely the positive politeness strategies (i.e., greeting, gratitude and address term), negative politeness (i.e., apology) and vernacular language. The gratitude and address term expression conveyed by “Thank you, Mam” is dominantly used by students to minimize threat when giving comments for every instruction created by lecturer. Results of this study showed that the students use politeness strategies to ensure the effectiveness of online learning, yet they also limit their text-based interaction with the short expressions of politeness such as “Hi, mam” or “Yes, mam”. This finding contributes to shedding light on the aspect of politeness in online interaction in Google Classroom and directs future studies to explore politeness in other contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the representation patterns found in Prabowo Subianto's corpus of presidential speeches. This is qualitative research using the results of the AntConc application. The method in this research is descriptive statistics. The data in this study was sourced from the transcript of President Prabowo Subianto's speech in 2024. This data is saved in a text file. txt format using UTF-8 encoding to facilitate processing with a corpus analysis tool. AntConc is the instrument utilized in this research. It draws attention to frequently occurring terms and keywords in the corpus and examines text structures with specific letter configurations. Additionally, from the frequency and keyword analysis of the 2024 speech text, it is found that the most commonly used word in Prabowo Subianto's speech text in 2024 is kita (we). This becomes evident that Prabowo Subianto is acting as the speaker, aiming to bring together himself and others, specifically all Indonesian citizens, in a united effort to reach the goal and directing his focus toward accomplishing the objectives for the Indonesian nation and state.
