Abstract

Compliment is one kind of speech act where the speaker expresses his/her feeling toward the hearer. The present study investigates compliment strategies employed by speakers, both male and female to male and female addressees. It also attempts to see the common strategies and the syntactic patterns used by male and female EFL students in delivering a compliment. Three males and three females are chosen as the participants based on their speaking scores since the data are gathered by means of an oral discourse completion test which includes 12 items. The findings reveal that in term of compliment strategies, males employ explicit, implicit, and zero- realization strategies, while females only offer direct and zero-realization strategy. In expressing the explicit one, both males and females use the first pattern “NP looks/is (really) ADJ” more often than other patterns. Overall, the present study points out that female students are the most frequent in uttering the compliments rather than males, but there is only a slight difference among them. Key words: gender, speech act, compliment, compliment strategy

Abstract

Based on the results of the 2021 National Assessment (NA), show that Indonesia is experiencing a literacy emergency. This is because 1 out of 2 students has not reached the minimum literacy competency. This research aimed to explore the challenges or barriers faced by teachers in increasing students' reading interest using digital media and to explore their strategies to overcome the barriers. The participant of this research is an English teacher from SMA Adhyaksa 1 Jambi, which was selected based on several criteria. In this research, a descriptive qualitative method was applied, in which the researcher attempts to draw in as much detail as possible the data and facts collected in the field. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the main data, and documentation in the form of photos when observing the research location was carried out to support the data. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings revealed that barriers faced by the teacher in integrating digital media into teaching include constraints in supporting facilities and adapting to student's understanding of using digital media. Meanwhile, there are three strategies employed by the teacher, namely making preparations before the start of learning, providing material relevant to daily life, and using relevant digital media to enhance students' reading interest. Overall, this research shows several barriers faced by teachers in integrating digital media with learning to increase students' reading interest and highlights the strategies implemented by teachers to overcome these problems. Thus, it is suggested for future researchers who are interested in this field to find research gaps and use this research as a reference or comparison.
