Abstract

HLSW is a natural tourist attraction that presents the scenery and experience of natural tropical rainforest exploration. The existing space in the HLSW area is not well ordered, especially in the public zone as the zone visited by more diverse visitors. This can be seen from main routes and some attraction nodes that are not in good condition. Node is the concentration of the area, which is the intersection of HLSW main pathway, the tracking post and attraction area as the activity center. A node must show the indigenous character and accommodate the visitor?s activity. It is necessary to analyze the HLSW node to obtain the type of activity and the condition of physical elements. Observation of the node by mosaic technique, which is to combine several single photographs to get the picture in a wide scope and to understand the role of each node. Results of this research are (i) All three types of nodes are exist in natural condition with very minimal facilities, (2) The number of facilities such as signage and other supporting furniture are not good in quality and not many in quantity, (3) The whole elements does not show HLSW character yet. This causes the concentration of the area to be less attractive and does not show its identity.

Abstract

Effective communication in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting requires pragmatic competence as it enables EFL learners to use language, particularly to employ request strategies appropriately. However, based on the results of previous studies, EFL learners often face difficulties in selecting request strategies that fit the communicative contexts. Therefore, this study aims to explore the request strategies employed by Indonesian EFL learners and examine the influence of social status and distance on their strategy use. Seventeen upper-intermediate university students enrolled in an English course participated in this study. The data were collected through an open-ended written Discourse Completion Task (DCT) consisting of six scenarios that described various levels of social status and distance between interlocutors. To collect the data, the DCT was distributed through Google Form and participants were asked to freely write their responses for each scenario. The responses provided by participants were analyzed based on the classification of request strategies by Trosborg (1995) through qualitative thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Indonesian EFL learners had a strong preference for conventionally indirect request strategy, particularly by questioning the hearer’s ability/willingness. Moreover, they tended to overgeneralize politeness forms, in which they consistently used conventionally indirect strategy across various social contexts. This finding suggests their inability to adjust strategies in diverse social situations. Additionally, inappropriate use of informal and confrontational language was also found, indicating a need for the development of cross-cultural awareness. The findings of this study imply that Indonesian EFL learners need to enhance their pragmatic competence to navigate diverse social situations effectively in English.
