In English, there are five essential speaking's aspects that need to be mastered by English learners such as content, fluency, coherence, grammar, and pronunciation. Unfortunately, it is difficult to be reached by EFL students. Due to this, the English teachers are required to find appropriate teaching strategies to help EFL students improve their speaking skills. The aims of this study were 1) to develop the implementation of the talking chips strategy in teaching speaking skills, 2) to improve student’s speaking skills through the talking chips strategy. The results showed that there was an improvement in students’ speaking skills after implementing the talking chips strategy.

Abstract

Research has shown that EFL learners often face challenges with deictic expressions, leading to communication errors. The author wanted to examine whether similar problems exist among sixth-semester English Education students at Nusa Nipa University by analyzing the types and dominant deixis in classroom interactions. Applying Levinson's (1983) theory, this research uses Creswell's (2009) method for in-depth analysis. Data were collected through audio recordings and field notes during eight class meetings, then transcribed and coded for thematic analysis. Miles & Huberman's (1994) technique and Walizer's (1990) formula were used to measure the types of deixis and the dominant deixis used. This analysis reveals that five types of deixis are used: person deixis, time deixis, place deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. A total of 979 deixis were identified, with person deixis being the most dominant with 70.48%, accounting for 690 occurrences. “We” was used 194 times, reflecting the collaborative nature of group work, while ‘you’ appeared 132 times, indicating direct engagement with the audience. The findings highlight the role of deixis in shaping academic communication and interaction, emphasizing its importance in effective classrooms.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the names of colours in the Sikka Language, analyze the connotations associated with these colours, and investigate their functions within the Sikka community. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and data elicitation with native speakers from Wolomotong Village. Data analysis employed the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory to uncover the semantic and cultural meanings of colour terms. The findings reveal that the Sikka Language categorizes colours into three groups: basic colours, such as red (merak), white (bura), and black (mitan); derived colours, such as yellow (heret), green (daan), blue (daan wair) and brown(meran); and modern or borrowed colours, such as purple (langor), orange (heret duan), and pink (meran nurak). Colours in the Sikka Language carry profound connotative meanings tied to cultural and social contexts, including symbolic associations with beauty, courage, purity, and prosperity. Additionally, colours serve vital functions as markers of social identity, integral components of traditional rituals, and mediums for conveying cultural values. This study contributes to the field of semantics by offering insights into the interplay between language, culture, and cognition. Furthermore, it supports the preservation and promotion of local languages and cultural heritage.
