Abstract

This research examines the differences in social habits between British and American societies in four main aspects: communication style, attitude toward time, politeness, and patterns of social interaction, with implications for English language learning in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-method design, primary data were collected thru in-depth interviews with 15 key informants (British-American expatriates in Indonesia) and observations of 12 authentic video vlogs, supplemented by a review of 30 peer-reviewed journals (2015–2026). The results show that the British apply indirect-formal communication (understatements, sarcasm), moderate punctuality with a sacred queuing culture, traditional restraint in politeness, and slow interaction via small talk about the weather; conversely, Americans are direct-explicit (open praise), absolute time-is-money, friendly-informal politeness (small talk, touch), and quick networking. The findings align with Edward T. Hall's theory of high-context (British) vs low-context culture (American) and Hofstede's dimensions. The contribution of the research is the development of cultural code-switching for Indonesian EFL learners to reduce cross-cultural misunderstandings, with recommendations for role-play scenarios and AI digital modules. Future research is suggested to include field ethnography in the UK-US.

Abstract

Writing competence is one of the most essential skills that English Education students must master to support both academic and professional communication. Among various forms of professional writing, job application letters play a significant role in helping graduates present their qualifications effectively to potential employers. This study aims to analyze the English job application letter writing skills of English Education students. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design involving 30 students from an English Education Study Program. Data were collected through documentation of students’ job application letters and analyzed based on letter structure, grammar, vocabulary, and language formality. The findings reveal that although most students were able to construct the general structure of a job application letter appropriately, many still experienced difficulties in grammatical accuracy, formal vocabulary selection, and the maintenance of professional tone. Several students used informal expressions and inappropriate sentence structures that reduced the effectiveness of their letters. Nevertheless, some participants demonstrated adequate ability in presenting information clearly and persuasively. The study concludes that students’ job application letter writing skills require further improvement, particularly in linguistic accuracy and professional correspondence conventions.
