This research focuses on the intercultural competence of Japanese language students majoring in hospitality at three vocational schools in Yogyakarta. To be able to find out students' intercultural competence, a contrastive analysis method is used regarding politeness strategies in the context of greeting guests, asking the guest's name, asking for general information, rejecting the guest's wishes, asking for something from the guest and confirming. There are three things compared in this research, namely, politeness strategies in Indonesian sentences made by students, politeness strategies in Japanese sentences from native Japanese and the suitability of Indonesian translations into Japanese made by students. Brown and Levenson's face-threatening act (FTA) management theory was used as the theoretical basis for this research. The research results show that politeness strategies in the mother tongue do influence how students translate. In general, there are many similarities in strategies between Indonesian and Japanese regarding politeness strategies in the hospitality context. The similarity of these strategies will make it easier for students to achieve intercultural competence. It is just that a lack of linguistic ability still causes pragmalingustic failure and sociopragmatic failure. Furthermore, the difference in strategy is that the use of bald on record in Indonesian produces a bald on record translation in Japanese, which causes sociopragmatic failure.

This research aims to identify the types of pragmatic failures that occur in beginner-level Japaneselanguage classes. The data was taken from conversation texts created by students in groups over one semester from two different universities. The utterances in the conversation text that were perceived to contain pragmatic failure were categorized and then verified through interviews with nativeJapanese speakers to understand the impressions they felt when hearing such utterances. Verifiedutterances containing pragmatic failure were then categorized into pragmalinguistic failure andsociopragmatic failure. It was discovered that even in simple contexts like self-introductions, therewere many pragmatic failures that had the potential to become Face Threatening Acts (FTA) againstthe positive and negative face of the interlocutor. In the case of basic Japanese students,pragmalinguistic failures are more commonly found than sociopragmatic failures. However, bothpragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic failures tend to be more of a face-threatening act against thepositive face of the interlocutor. The research finding reveals the linguistic characteristics thatthreaten the interlocutor's positive face include using first-person pronouns excessively,discriminatory questions about origin, and misusing specific Japanese words like "anata," "sayonara,""dare," and "kore" during introductions, incorrect responses to information and the absence ofhonorifics.

This qualitative study investigates the development of students' critical thinking skills through online English discussion learning activities on the Padlet platform. This study involved 130 respondents from non-English majors. The researchers collected data using an open questionnaire, which was then analyzed based on thematic data analysis. The study's results showed several factors that significantly impacted the improvement of students' critical thinking quality: interesting discussion topics that stimulate active discussion, time limits that encourage focused delivery of ideas, and vocabulary exposure that improves students' ability and fluency in expressing their opinions in English. More deeply, peer opinions in the discussion process are important in sharpening students' critical thinking skills. Various student perspectives enrich knowledge and deepen students' understanding of a discussion topic. The study results showed that several students who initially did not understand the discussion topic were enlightened and inspired to express their opinions after reading their peers' arguments. The language exposure presented in the discussion also strengthened students' ability to express their critical thinking. Overall, discussions through the Padlet platform created a conducive, comfortable and effective atmosphere supporting online English learning.
