Abstract

The novel “Paper Towns” in a mystery and young-adult genre tells about Q’s adventures with his friends in his search for Margo. This study aims to identify the types of speech acts that appear in John Green’s novel “Paper Towns”. Speech acts are a subfield of pragmatics that studies how words are used not only to present information but also to perform actions. The theory used is Austin’s theory (1962) where Austin divides into three categories of speech acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. This study uses a qualitative data analysis method based on Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The data were taken from John Green’s novel “Paper Towns” and analyzed by reading as much of the novel as possible and trying to understand all the conversations. The researcher categorizes several dialogues that show the types of speech acts in the Paper Towns novel and the meanings of speech acts based on the context of the characters. The results of the study show that the types of speech act in John Green’s novel “Paper Towns” include locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts and the meaning of each utterance of the characters in the novel is in accordance with Austin’s theory. The conclusion of this study is that the characters in John Green's novel “Paper Towns” use more illocutionary speech acts in each of their speeches and the meaning of each speech act uttered by the characters in the novel is in accordance with the theory put forward by Austin, where locutionary acts are used by characters to say something according to the true meaning. Illocutionary acts are performed by characters to state or inform something that has an implied meaning and purpose. And perlocutionary acts are used by characters so that the interlocutor obeys the wishes of the character. Keywords: Speech Acts, A Locutionary, An Illocutionary, A Perlocutionary, and Novel

The lecturer used the same lecturing style, had never given them feedback, and there was no discussion session for the students to share their ideas about the text in the module given. The lack of vocabulary was also mentioned as one of the obstacles experienced by the students during the critical reading class.

Abstract

Every teacher who teaches a foreign language must have challenges in teaching and managing the classroom. The objectives of this study are: (1) To find out the English teachers’ challenges in English classroom management at SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf. (2) To describe the strategies used by teachers to solve the challenges in English classroom management at SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf. The subjects of this study were three teachers who taught English subjects at SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf. This research used a qualitative method. The instruments that the researcher employed were documentation, interviews, and observation. The researcher applied Miles et al.'s theory—data reduction, data display, conclusion drafting, and verification—to the data analysis process. The study's findings suggest that: (1) Teachers have difficulties when instructing pupils in English, including inadequate vocabulary acquisition, insufficient exposure to the language, psychological issues, linguistic difficulties, and low proficiency. (2) Teachers used several strategies to overcome the challenges they faced, such as the Determination Strategy, Group Discussion Strategy, and Communication Strategy. It appears that there are still a lot of difficulties in controlling and instructing English in the classroom when it comes to some of these issues. Therefore, in order to create a safe and comfortable learning environment where learning proceeds without problems teachers must employ a variety of teaching strategies in addition to appropriate classroom management techniques.
