Abstract

Part of the substance of an utterance could be represented by gestures. There are many different perspectives on how gestures, words, and cognition relate to one another and how they could influence communication. Gestures are inferior to words because they communicate no semantic information beyond the linguistic utterances that accompany them. The current study aims to find the main gestural strategies, used by the interlocutors in English political TV Interviews that represent speech acts. It is based on the hypothesis that there are different strategies of gestures used by interlocutors in political TV interviews that represent speech acts. The selected interviews have been analyzed in the light of an eclectic model based on model Kulkarni (2013) and Searle (1979). The first is used for analyzing the main kinds of body movements and types of gesticulation, and the latter for analyzing Searle's classification of speech acts since it is a pragmatic study. The results of the selected interviews have shown that gestural strategies are highly related to the context of situation. Each gesture performs a specific speech act. The interlocutors use gestural strategies to express a wide range of emotions, attitudes, approval, anxiety, disagreement, and affection. The participants in these interviews are equally conscious of their body language and verbal exchanges.

Abstract

Speech errors can occur due to language activation and competition in the human brain as a symptom of language friction. Many researchers have studied the language friction and published their findings, indicating that the study about this issue is interesting to conduct. The current literature study aims to review previous research on language friction in terms of methods and linguistics theories applied in those studies. A systematic method was used in this research to select research articles on the language friction, and resulted in 17 articles to be reviewed. Those articles are published in Scopus indexed journals. It is found that in the last seven years, studies on language friction have shown an increasing trend, indicating that this issue is still relevant to study. In addition, most of them indicate that language friction has been analyzed based on psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics theories. However, it is not enough to study language friction from psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives, but also needs to be studied from ethnosociolinguistic perspective. This literature study can help educators and English language learners to choose learning methods by considering the language friction experienced by learners. Furthermore, by understanding the language friction, speech participants can overcome misunderstandings in communication.

Abstract

The use of psychological techniques to deal with language problems is a well-known strategy in the process of teaching foreign languages as learners can sometimes suffer from anxiety and stress, so it is essential to help students overcome the psychological barriers they face to cope with the process of learning. This study attempts to deal with pragmatic problems by using a mix of mental grounding techniques and pragmatic activities (awareness-raising activities). The sample of the study comprised participants from Iraq and the Czech Republic. They were first-year college students. The researchers depended on learning zones to determine the suitable time for the experiment (fear zone). The researchers applied self-report surveys in addition to interviews to determine the students with pragmatic problems. Then, at the end of the experiment, the participants were interviewed again to evaluate the experiment in addition to the same self-report survey. Results showed that the two samples responded positively to the mix of techniques used. Moreover, the division of learning zones seems ideal to be dependent in the present study as it specifies the time of challenge the students experienced. The results also clarified that the mix of the two types of activities (pragmatic and grounding activities) demonstrates a kind of remedy that could enhance students level of pragmatics. In the end, no sharp differences were mentioned in the two contexts of the study (Iraq and the Czech Republic); both gained approximate positive results.

Abstract

To improve the quality of learning, teachers must have advanced knowledge of educational research. The purpose of this research is to investigate English teachers’ insights on the importance of research in English Language Teaching and its impact on the excellence of English language learning. The survey method with a quantitative approach and Focus Group Discussion were applied in this study. The population in this research were EFL teachers from junior high schools and senior high schools in South Sulawesi. The survey was conducted by sending online questionnaires to 50 English teachers randomly selected as research samples. Only those with 10 years or more teaching experience were included in the sample. The survey data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical technique. Furthermore, 5 of those 50 teachers with master (S2) qualification were involved in the FGD to gain in-depth understanding. The survey results indicate that most respondents (72,2%) understand the concept of educational research in ELT. In term of interest in research activities, 85% respondents show high interest. However, the level of involvement in research activities varies. The FGD results identify resource limitations and resistance to innovation as challenges in integrating scientific research. Evaluation with various modes is considered important to measure the effectiveness of integrating research findings in ELT into English language learning practices. Overall, the research-based learning approach is received positively among teachers. However, practical challenges need to be addressed to increase teacher engagement in research, and integrate educational research into teaching activities.
