Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the refusal strategy used by Acehnese EFL university students and  how the  interlocutor’s power status affects on it. The sample of this study were 25 students at fifth-semester of English language department of Syiah Kuala University. In collecting the data, this study used a discourse completion test consisting of 10 situations, and semantic formula were analyzed and categorized according to the Beebe, Takahashi and Uliss-Weltz (1990). The results show that the students used different manners in presenting the refusal strategies. In refusing the intelocutors, they tended to choose an indirect strategy by stating regret or saying 'sorry', and excuses or explanations, while the direct and adjunct strategies were the least to be used. Moreover, this study has also been shown that the interlocutor's status became a significant role in the number of strategies used for refusing. The higher the status of our interlocutor was, the more polite the use of refusal strategies the participants employed. Additional analysis revealed that the students’ culture greatly influences the presenting of their strategy in refusing. The study's results are expected to pave future research concerning English foreign language learners' refusal strategies.

The problems can be categorized into technical and situational problems. These problems can be resolved depending on teachers' teaching experience, condition, and situation. Teachers can give the learning module to the students, and the teachers must be creative in delivering the teaching material. In addition, parents' support is very crucial for maintaining students’ motivation, enthusiasm, and expression during online learning.

The students also had positive responses to the implementation of interactive approach during teaching and learning reading comprehension. It can be concluded that interactive approach is one of the effective approach for teaching reading comprehension.
