Abstract

The heart of the study is English for Economics purposes as a branch of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). This study is dedicated to addressing the immediate needs of economics students in English language courses. By employing an explanatory survey method, researchers distributed a self-administrated survey and interviewed five first-year students majoring in Economic Development in one of the state universities in Indonesia. In this study, the researchers attempted to analyze Economic Development students’ target situation, present situation, and learning situation in English courses to prepare them to face global competition. The results revealed that most students admitted that English is essential for their future careers. Thus, they expected English courses should include materials related to their discipline and emphasize more authentic activities. Following the discussion, this need analysis can be a consideration in designing English learning materials for economics students.

Abstract

This naturalistic qualitative study is intended to unravelling the working of quantity maxim introduced by Grice (1975) on EFL online classroom interaction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, this study is designed to investigate whether or not students violating or obeying the quantity maxim by observing and unravelling the utterances produced during online classroom interaction. Moreover, this study also provides factors that influence the non-observance maxim of quantity. The participant consists of 31 students from the fifth semester majoring in English Education at Tidar University. The study is conducted by recording, transcribing, and classifying the conversations done on online classroom interaction, viewed from Gricean maxim perspectives. The results reflect that students both observed and violated the maxim of quantity. The total number of observance maxim is 9, and 14 for the non-observance maxim. This study brings the conclusion that external factors such as unstable internet connection and interference coming from the surrounding environment during the online classroom can cause EFL students to break the maxim of quantity principle. Meanwhile, anxiety as an internal factor plays a crucial factor that leads the EFL students to violate the quantity maxim.
