Abstract

Refusing is a part of commissive speech acts. Refusing is a face-threatening act (FTA) that needs a good pragmatic competence since it probably gives risk to the interlocutor's positive or negative face. However, it indicates that people from various cultural backgrounds employ dissimilar refusal strategies. This study aimed at providing a comparison of refusal strategies used between Javanese Pre-service English Teachers (JPETs) and Sumatranese Pre-service English Teachers (SPETs) in accordance with different levels of power. The data were elicited from the DCT given to 10 JPETs and 10 SPETs. The participants were asked to fill the DCTs with written responses in which each DCT described different contexts and settings. Based on the analysis, JPETs and SPETs employed similar strategies in refusing to a request. The difference was only on the frequency usage of a certain strategy. Furthermore, all of the indirect strategies were applied to refuse a request meanwhile only a strategy comes from a direct strategy called the negation of proposition that is applied. A direct refusal strategy call bluntness was not applied. This study evoked pre-service awareness of pragmatic competence which could be taught to their future students and larger participants were encouraged for future study.

Abstract

Research in various educational settings reveals that in-service teachers often demonstrate a limited proficiency in language assessment literacy (LAL). Recognizing this, scholars have been investigating factors that might enhance LAL, particularly focusing on the role of experience. Despite this interest, the specific influence of experiential factors on LAL development remains relatively unexplored. Addressing this gap, our study utilized semi-structured retrospective interviews in a narrative inquiry framework to assess how experience impacts the LAL development of two Indonesian EFL teachers. Both teachers, equipped with Master's degrees and relevant assessment training, have differing lengths of teaching experience and work in distinct educational institutions. Our findings indicate that foundational LAL knowledge and skills acquired through language assessment courses (LACs) were further enhanced by additional training and practical application in teaching contexts. Both participants, despite their varied teaching tenures, showed similar patterns of LAL development. This progression appeared influenced by their educational backgrounds, positive attitudes towards assessment, and a shared commitment to refining their assessment practices. The study concludes with recommendations for language educators, EFL teachers, and areas for future research.
