This study uses descriptive qualitative methods and purposive sampling to choose two lecturers and fifteen university students from the Papua as participants. Data was also gathered through online observation, offline interviews, and documentation. Online observations were made by evaluating screenshots of Google Classroom comments and recording of written conversations on WhatsApp and SMS sent by ten Papuan students. At the same time, offline interviews were carried out 10 students and 2 instructors. The data is then analysed using discourse analysis, which consists of multiple steps, including data recording, data transcription, data selection, and data interpretation. In line with the findings of this study, Papuan students use four types of politeness strategies when consulting with lecturers via virtual communication. They are positive, negative, bald on record, and off the record politeness strategies. In online communication, the negative politeness strategy is the most prevalent among Papuan students. The diversity of politeness strategies that are replicated, even if they appear unpleasant at times, is not an aspect of purposeful or disrespectful behaviour toward the interlocutor. But let us get back to the level of language skills, which still require more attention and are impacted by a variety of internal factors such as personality and age, and external factors such as culture, facilities obtained. The findings indicate that even when language capabilities are restricted in virtual communication, Papuan students receive enough education. This situation will improve the civility of language that students in Papua use while conversing digitally. As a result, higher education institutions in Papua should pay more attention to standard communication patterns when academic consulting with lecturers as speech partners in the context of higher education in Papua in order to develop comprehensive and effective communication practices.

Abstract

The study focuses on addressing a knowledge gap in learning English for non-EFL students in higher education in Papua. Non-EFL students in Papua sometimes find English unattractive, if not frightening. Translanguaging helps non-EFL students to acquire and practice English skills in virtual classrooms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of non-EFL students' virtual EFL learning through translanguaging. A qualitative study was conducted through interviews and observations with EFL teachers and non-EFL students attending English classes. There are several non-English departments in one of the higher education institutions in Papua, which are sources of information in this study. The data are then analyzed qualitatively using a discourse analysis framework. The results of the study show that the power of translanguaging for non-EFL students is an option that is always used during virtual English learning. The process of virtual English learning uses different digital learning platforms such as Zoom meetings, WhatsApp groups and Google classroom. The use of this platform has its own privileges as long as it is used in virtual English learning with translanguaging. The process of learning English using different platforms can be described by two activities, such as teacher activities using translanguaging and student activities. Virtual English learning using translanguaging is also illustrated by the use of various language resources owned by students. This is an added value of virtual EFL learning using translanguaging. Therefore, it is highly recommended that EFL teachers use translanguaging during the virtual EFL teaching process to make it easier for non-EFL students to understand EFL subjects.

Abstract

Enhancing teachers’ professionalism and competence has long been a fundamental priority in education. For EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers in Papua, reflective practice is essential for addressing classroom challenges and improving teaching quality. This study examines the models of reflective practice adopted by Papuan EFL teachers across different school levels. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered from five EFL teachers at elementary, junior high, and senior high schools through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis, and then analyzed thematically. The findings identify three primary models of reflective practice. First, reflective teaching activities, such as asking thought-provoking questions at the beginning, during, and at the end of lessons, which stimulate student engagement and teachers’ self-assessment. Second, reflective writing, including teaching journals, diaries, and notes documenting students’ feedback and teachers’ impressions, fostering continuous professional growth and awareness. Third, dialogical reflection, involving debates, informal discussions, and sharing experiences with fellow teachers, which encourages collaborative learning and peer support. These findings underscore the importance of developing a formal, long-term policy framework to institutionalize reflective practice among EFL teachers in Papua. Such a framework would help ensure that reflective activities are systematic, result-oriented, and significantly contribute to improving teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Anxiety in writing contains tension, nervousness, worry, and a wide variety of other negative feelings when someone is given a task to write in a certain situation. The objective of this study is to figure out whether or not there is a significant correlation between EFL students' anxiety and their English writing skills. The subject of the study is the fourth semester of EFL students in the State Islamic Institute of Fattahul Muluk Papua. The study focused on a correlational method of two quantifiable variables involving anxiety and English writing skills. Two instruments are used in this study including Foreign Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (FLWAI) developed by Cheng and the writing test developed by Heaton. The samples are 40 EFL students as the respondents and the data were calculated by Pearson product-moment. The findings reveal that there is a significant correlation between EFL students’ anxiety and their English writing skills at a high level. It means that the lower anxiety belongs to EFL students, the better they write in English. Moreover, cognitive anxiety is the most influential anxiety on EFL students’ English writing skills. Then, it is followed by somatic anxiety, and avoidance behavior is also fairly influential.

Abstract

The use of the deactivate read receipts feature has become increasingly common among various groups, including students. However, its use has sparked both positive and negative responses. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of this feature within the context of academic communication, particularly in interactions with lecturers. Moreover, it explores the implications arising from deactivating read receipts in such communication. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved twelve EFL students and four lecturers as participants. Data were collected through online observation and semi-structured interviews. Online observation involved gathering screenshots of chat interactions between students and lecturers, while interviews were conducted using an interview guide and audio recordings. The collected data were analyzed using discourse analysis, comprising four stages: data recording, transcription, selection, and interpretation. The findings reveal three dimensions of student perception. First, the cognitive dimension reflects that the feature is perceived as impolite in academic contexts but considered normal in non-academic contexts. Second, the affective dimension shows that it can evoke both emotional discomfort and neutrality. Third, the conative dimension includes tendencies toward message resending and communication uncertainty. Additionally, the deactivation of read receipts has been found to lead to miscommunication and foster negative assumptions on the part of the message recipient toward the sender. Consequently, further research is recommended to explore this phenomenon in greater depth.
