Abstract

Politeness is an essential aspect of interlanguage pragmatic study used to create a harmonious relationship among people who engage in specific interactions. Politeness is implemented differently in showing disagreement regardless of cultural background. This study was used to analyze the implementation of politeness strategies in showing disagreement by the students. In this study, the researchers applied descriptive qualitative research. The subjects in this study were 20 students, all non-native speakers, who joined the CEC club at UIN Salatiga. The data was taken from the students’ utterances of the politeness strategies used to show disagreement. Also, the data was analyzed using the theory of politeness strategies by Brown and Levinson (1987) In collecting the data, the researchers used a discourse completion test (DCT) questionnaire, which gave 5 (five) topics. The results showed that the students applied all politeness strategies with different percentages. Positive politeness is implemented for 73%, bald on record 18%, negative politeness for 5%, and off record 2%. Positive politeness is the most dominant strategy in showing disagreement. Besides, the sub-strategy in positive politeness also applied by the students are exaggerating, intensifying interest in the hearer, avoiding disagreement, presupposing, offering, being optimistic, including both the speaker and the hearer, giving or (asking for reason) and assuming or asserting reciprocity. In conclusion, politeness strategies are essential to convey a different opinion from the interlocutors.

Abstract

This study delves into the analysis of common errors found in descriptive texts authored by a sample of 32 students, randomly selected from SMA Negeri 12 Semarang. Its primary objective is to identify, categorize, and evaluate errors pertaining to adverbial phrases, conjunctions, prepositional phrases, and discourse markers while assessing their impact on the coherence of the text. Employing a rigorous research methodology encompassing both quantitative and qualitative techniques, this study provides a thorough evaluation of the student's writing abilities. Quantitative analysis of the collected data exposes a spectrum of errors, encompassing discourse marker misuses, sentence structure deficiencies, inaccuracies in prepositional phrases, conjunction errors, and problems with adverbial phrases. Notably, discourse marker errors, including the omission of commas and the repetitive use of words, emerged as the most prevalent issues. These errors have the potential to significantly hinder the clarity and overall flow of the text. The motivation for this study arises from the recognition that students often encounter challenges when it comes to effectively utilizing discourse markers and other grammatical elements in their descriptive writing. These difficulties can adversely impact text coherence and, consequently, the overall quality of the students' compositions. In light of the quantitative findings, this research underscores the critical importance of targeted grammar instruction and consistent writing practice to enhance students' writing skills. Addressing these common errors collaboratively, educators and learners can work towards improving the quality of descriptive texts.

Abstract

The selection of appropriate approach(es) to teaching literature in EFL classrooms becomes a necessity that they can result in good performance of the students, both in their critical thinking aspect and their language proficiency. The problem appears when the lecturer does not implement a suitable approach to literary analysis when teaching literature to the EFL students. These problems led to the student’s inability to perform as expected. The present study examines how lecturers perceive the implementation of approaches to teaching literature in EFL classrooms and their relations to improving the students’ reflective writing skills as the manifestation of the student’ responses to the literary works. Among the approaches studied were the Language-based approach, the Reader-Response approach, and the Philosophical approach. The study was carried out on six lecturers teaching the Literary Criticism course in the EFL classrooms at the university level. A questionnaire was distributed to the lecturers teaching this course at a university in Semarang, Indonesia, containing eight-question items regarding how they perceive the literary approaches and how effective they used them in improving the students’ reflective writing skills, in encouraging the students to think critically about the events in literary works and in relating the readings to some aspects of their own lives. The study revealed that each literary analysis approach in teaching literature has its benefits and characteristics. The study results also showed that each approach has its strengths and weaknesses that differ from one another.

Abstract

Identifying appropriate writing techniques to help students with different self-esteem improve their writing ability needs to be considered by educators. This study attempted to examine the effectiveness of two writing techniques, Reflective Learning Portfolio (RLP) and Dialogue Journal Writing (DJW) in improving the writing ability of undergraduate students with different self-esteem. A quasi-experimental design was employed in this study. The participants of the study were 62 undergraduate students from a private university in West Java, Indonesia, which were divided into two groups that received different treatments, RLP and DJW techniques. A set of questionnaires to measure students’ self-esteem and writing tests were utilized to collect the data. Data from questionnaires were analyzed by using Likert Scales. Data from pre-test and post-test, to know the effectiveness of RLP and DJW was administered by using a paired t-test. The finding revealed that the writing performance in RLP class was significantly better than in DJW class. In other words, RLP is more effective in teaching writing to students with different self-esteem. The use of explicit teaching, peer feedback, and teacher feedback in RLP class could have caused the RLP technique to be more effective in improving the students’ writing ability compared to the DJW technique.

Abstract

Some challenges in teaching writing are making students interpret, analyze, and build reasoning for a coherent text. To address this issue, such research is included in a branch of linguistics, namely semantics. This research evaluates the students’ mastery of semantic entailment as reflected in their descriptive text writing. The research method applied was a descriptive qualitative design. The data was taken from the 30 explanatory texts written by the eighth-graders of MTs Ar Ridlo Pekuncen 2022/2023. The technique of collecting data was document text. The method of data analysis was triangulation. The results revealed that the evaluation of students’ mastery of one-way entailment is 90%; there were 27 of 30 students. Almost all of the students (generally) are very masterful. Next, the evaluation of students’ mastery of two-way entailment is 36.67% (N=11). Furthermore, only 30.00% of the students (N=9) can master negative entailment. The least (a fraction) mastered was metaphorical entailment, 13.33% (N=4). The easiest for students to master was the one-way entailment. In contrast, the metaphorical entailment was the most difficult. Thus, it can be safely said that the students have difficulty imagining the object in their sentences. For that reason, future research may investigate the factors that cause problems in metaphorical entailment among students.

Abstract

Politeness cannot be achieved directly when people are born because of genetic factors or special characteristics given by God. It needs to be learned, and they should consider whom they speak to establish a good relationship between the speaker (S) and hearer (H) in the social interaction. This study aims to explain the similarities and differences between the use of positive politeness strategies by Ellen in her interaction with adult and young guests. The transcript of Ellen’s talk show becomes the primary source of this study where the data were analyzed by using Brown and Levinson’s theory. This study was descriptive qualitative research with a pragmatic approach. Based on the data analysis, Ellen applied noticing, exaggerating, and intensifying interest to H, using in-group identity markers, seeking agreement, asserting common ground, being optimistic, including S and H in the activity, and giving gifts in her communication with adult and young guests. The strategy of using in-group identity markers is frequently used in Ellen’s interaction with a percentage of 27,8%. In addition, in Ellen’s interaction with the young guests, the noticing strategy is the most dominant strategy with a percentage of 25%. The strategies of avoiding disagreement, joking, promising, and giving reasons were only applied in her interaction with the adult guests. Therefore, Ellen’s decision to use these positive politeness strategies can save the hearers’ positive face and maintain the relationship among them. As a result, this study contributes to English language teaching in class interaction, especially in fulfilling the students’ positive face.
