Abstract

This research examines the various ways in which EFL students and supervisors utilize politeness strategies when making requests in the process of thesis supervision through WhatsApp group communication. The study focuses on how factors such as power dynamics, social distance, and imposition influence the choice of linguistic strategies for making requests. A document study was employed to collect the data. The document was gathered from WhatsApp conversations between 26 students and 5 supervisors and analyzed using Blum-Kulka and Olshtain's situational classification and Brown and Levinson's politeness theory. The findings reveal that students tend to employ more negative politeness strategies, such as questioning, apologies, and expressions of gratitude when making requests to supervisors in order to mitigate potential threats to face. On the other hand, supervisors, due to their higher status positions, tend to use more direct strategies, such as obligations and imperatives, when making requests to students. However, the context also plays a role as supervisors exhibit politeness by using politeness markers in intra-supervisor requests. It concludes that power dynamics, social distance, and imposition ranking significantly influence the selection of politeness strategies, with wider power gaps leading to more negative strategies while familiar relationships foster direct communication. These findings suggest that understanding appropriate politeness strategies can enhance effective communication between students and supervisors and minimize potential miscommunication in cross-cultural academic environments.

Abstract

This research aimed at knowing the effectiveness of online learning design with an e-portfolio approach in increasing self-efficacy in speaking ability. Seventy-seven students were involved in this study. They are in the second semester of a vocational college in Business Administration Department in the academic year 2020/2021. This research is experimental research with implementing paired samples t-test as the measurement tool in knowing the effectiveness of e-portfolio based learning by finding the t score and the sig value before and after the implementation of the teaching method. The result of this study showed that e-portfolio based learning had a significant effect on the student's self-efficacy in their speaking ability. It was indicated by the value of the sig and t result from paired samples t-test analysis which was showed 0.000 as the sig value and -20.551 as the t count. The result of sig value which is below 0.05 and the t-count which is above t-table were clear indicators to argue that e-portfolio significantly impacted the student's self-efficacy in speaking ability. In this case, the variables of self-efficacy in speaking ability were improved significantly by the implementation of e-portfolio based learning. Even the implementation of e-portfolio brings many positive impacts on the students, some limitations lie on this method implementation. The limitation of this method lies in the time execution and the number of students who are taught by the lecturer.

Abstract

In the lens of technology used in classroom instruction, the 360-video virtual reality begins to use in the education field. This study aimed to identify the Indonesian language students in the higher education level perceptions of the use of SVVR (Spherical Virtual-based Video Reality) which was operated through the smartphone. The performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) in the UTAUT theory was employed to assess the data. There were 131 sophomores who learn the Indonesian language in the tourism department in the State Polytechnic of Bali involved to provide specific arguments through the questionnaire. The result of the study explained that learners in the Polytechnic education system were keen to engage SVVR (Spherical Virtual-Video Based Reality) during the teaching and learning process. Additionally, this learning medium elevated students’ urge significantly in learning the Indonesian language. Subsequently, the SVVR will be a promising tool employed by the lecturer who teaches the learners in the applied education system. These learning materials ought to be explored and developed more systematically by lecturers in underpinning students’ demand for knowledge and materials understanding in vocational education.
