Abstract

Collaborative learning is an activity to work in small groups or teams that allows students to develop mutual cooperation in learning. This study aims to highlight the effectiveness of collaborative learning in improving student academic achievement. It was carried out with a quantitative method and the pretest-posttest experimental design was applied. There were sixty students participated in this study. To assess students’ achievement, online grammar pretest and posttest were distributed. In addition, collaborative learning questionnaire was administered to elicit students’ responses towards collaborative learning. Based on paired-samples t test result, it was found that the pretest and posttest mean scores were significantly different (t(59) = -5.977, p < .05).  This indicated that there was a higher mean score of posttest after the implementation of collaborative activities. Most students responded that collaborative learning activities improved academic performance and team work helped them to receive input from their peers as well as provide better result in completing the tasks than working individually.  It is recommended that various collaborative activities should be designed to motivate university students in learning grammar.

Abstract

Communication plays a crucial role in daily interactions, and to ensure effective exchanges, certain conversational rules must be followed. When these rules are intentionally broken, the resulting implications often reveal more than the words themselves. This research analyzes the flouting of conversational maxims as proposed by Grice in the romantic comedy film Anyone But You (2023), focusing on the main characters, Bea and Ben. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study identifies and categorizes instances in which the characters flout the maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner, and aims to identify the strategies they use to flout these maxims. The data, drawn from the characters' dialogues, reveal how flouting is employed to express emotional complexity, especially in the context of their love-hate relationship. The results show that Bea frequently flouts the maxim of quantity to emphasize her argument and persuasion, while Ben often flouts the maxim of relevance by redirect the conversation and giving unrelated comments. They both also flout the maxims of quality and manner to create humor, conceal true feelings. This study highlights how such linguistic strategies enhance the narrative, and it contributes to a deeper understanding of pragmatic phenomena in cinematic dialogue. Additionally, this research has differences from prior studies by applying the flouting maxim theory to romantic comedies with love-hate relationship dynamics.Keywords: Flouting Maxim, Romantic Comedy, Anyone but You

Abstract

Background: English literacy skills play a vital role in students’ academic and social development. Yet, many junior high school students still struggle with reading and writing due to limited vocabulary and exposure. Objective: This community service program, titled “Don’t Worry, English is Easy,” aimed to strengthen the English literacy skills—particularly reading and writing—of seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 Loa Kulu, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Methods: The program was conducted by lecturers and students from the Faculty of Cultural Studies, Universitas Mulawarman. The implementation involved observation, documentation, and literacy-based training using contextual materials such as “Introducing Myself,” “My Family,” and “My School.” Results: The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties with spelling and constructing English sentences. Common spelling errors were caused by phonetic interference and limited understanding of English orthography. External factors such as family background, lack of learning facilities, and minimal English exposure outside the classroom also contributed to these challenges. However, students showed increased motivation, confidence, and active participation throughout the training sessions. Conclusion: The program effectively enhanced students’ enthusiasm and engagement in learning English. It is recommended that similar community service programs be implemented continuously through collaboration between universities and schools to strengthen students’ English proficiency holistically.

Abstract

This study examines how climate justice was discursively constructed in official statements delivered at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt. It aims to identify and compare the discursive strategies used by a representative developed actor, the European Union, and a developing actor, Pakistan speaking for the Group of 77 and China, and to analyze how linguistic features frame Loss and Damage as either historical responsibility and compensation or as a technical capacity issue. Employing a descriptive qualitative design grounded in Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, the research analyzes textual data from the two actors' public statements using a systematic procedure that includes keyword identification, grammatical and lexical analysis, and contextual interpretation. The findings reveal a clear discursive divergence: Pakistan constructs climate justice as a demand for reparative justice based on historical responsibility. In contrast, the European Union frames the issue as a capacity gap, privileging procedural solutions, and funding arrangements that depoliticize liability. The conference outcome to establish a Loss and Damage fund constituted a symbolic success for justice claims but adopted flexible, non-binding arrangements that preserve developed actors' influence.

Abstract

In communication, speakers do not always comply with conversational rules, as language use is influenced by context. In certain situations, these rules are deliberately flouted to convey implied meanings or implicatures. This phenomenon is also reflected in film dialogues, particularly in spy-action films that involve strategic interactions and high-risk situations. This study aims to identify the types of conversational maxims flouted by the characters in the action film Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre (2023). This study employs a qualitative method with a pragmatic approach. The data were obtained from the characters’ utterances in the film that contain instances of flouting conversational maxims. The data analysis is based on Grice’s Cooperative Principle, which includes the maxim of quantity, maxim of quality, maxim of relation, and maxim of manner. The findings show that all four conversational maxims are flouted by the characters in the film, with a total of nineteen data identified. The flouting of the maxim of relation occurs most frequently, appearing in twelve data, with implicatures that function to control the situation and deliver coded meanings. It is followed by the maxim of manner, which appears in three data and generates implicatures that function to establish boundaries, show sarcasm, and deliver ideas indirectly. The maxim of quantity appears in two data, with implicatures that function to convince the listener and assert power through indirect threat. Meanwhile, the maxim of quality appears in two data, generating implicatures that function to express emotional states and maintain self-image.
