This study employed qualitative approach with content analysis method. The data were taken from 40 university students’ essay and interview in one public university located in Banten province. The result of the data analysis reveals that the students commit seven types of error at the discoursal level and two types of error at the pragmatic level. In the discoursal level, the students committed run-on sentences, unawareness of logical relation, poor paragraph development, cohesion problem as well as coherence problem, improper use of discourse markers, and absence of parallel structure. In the pragmatic level, the researchers found miss-selection of lexical item and violation of the cooperative principles. Moreover, the possible causes of the errors included students have lack interest in writing; inadequate grammatical mastery; arranging ideas in a meaningful and logical order; lack of vocabulary and formulating their idea of writing. It is hoped that the result of this study can be the consideration for both the teachers when they design the material, and students to recognize their weaknesses in doing the writing and find the best solution to cope with this problem.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate gender-based differences in the use of refusal strategies among 60 intermediate Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. A qualitative approach was employed using a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) consisting of 12 scenarios. The refusal taxonomy proposed by Beebe et al. (1990) was utilized to analyze the collected data. Findings showed that both male and female participants most frequently used indirect strategies, with females exhibiting a slightly greater range of indirect strategies. Additionally, the interlocutor's status was found to influence the choice of refusal strategies used by participants. However, no significant gender-based differences were observed. The results suggest that EFL learners tend to express refusal in a polite and considerate manner to avoid causing offense. Future studies should consider incorporating diverse data collection instruments to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of pragmatic competency.
