Abstract

This paper explores the meaning-making in performative speech acts of invitation in Global Englishes, with particular reference to Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, focusing on comparing EFL learners from Indonesia and Yemen. Using a quantitative descriptive research design, thirty EFL students from Indonesia, namely Airlangga University, and thirty EFL students from Yemen, Sana’a University, took part in a Discourse Completion Task (DCT). From the analysis, it is revealed that Indonesian students preferred using ‘indirect strategies,’ such as ‘Yes/No questions,’ ‘asking for willingness,’ and ‘Wh-questions,’ as they carry ‘ordered density,’ whereas EFL students from Yemen used ‘direct strategies,’ i.e., ‘imperatives,’ ‘Yes/No questions,’ as it is ‘acceptable’ in social practice. There is an influence of L1 transfer in both groups, as they preferred transferring ‘utterances’ from L1 English, ignoring ‘syntactic differences.’
