Abstract

This study focuses on the use of academic language functions and the problems of their use in the process of teaching content subjects by using English as a means of instruction. Direct observation and recording were done to gather the data. Based on the overall data analysis and interpretation, the teachers have used academic language functions in English, but not all teachers use full-English in the teaching learning process. They applied academic language functions for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and skills. Furthermore, some teachers do not have adequate mastery of English because they just took a short English course. So, most content teachers sometimes find difficulties related to vocabulary/diction, grammar, pronunciation,  intonation and they often switched codes from English to Indonesian and vice versa. They have problems to express their idea in English due to their lack of vocabularies used and pronunciation. Therefore, it is suggested that content teachers himprove their competence especially in the classroom interaction using English.

Abstract

This study focused on the analysis of non-observance Grice conversational maxims utilized by characters in Friends TV Show which involved the flouting maxim, violating maxim, infringing maxim, suspending maxim and opting out maxim. The results of the study showed that that almost all non-observance Grice conversational maxims were utilized in generating verbal humours in which opting out Grice conversational maxim was hardly found to create verbal humour. All types of verbal humours were successfully performed by the characters through flouting conversational maxim in which flouting manner and relation maxims concealed all types of verbal humours due to the irrelevant and ambiguous information delivered by the characters. In addition, the ways the characters being intentionally misleading without any implicature produced had generated humour for the audiences. Furthermore, literalness verbal humour was the most generated humour performed by the characters in infringing the maxims due to characters’ foolishness and lack of imagination. Moreover, suspending Grice conversational maxim was only found in suspended messages and voice call which was funny at the right setting in which there was no implicature produced and expectation to fulfil the maxim. However, there was opting out Grice conversational maxim discovered in this study due to the involvement of third party. For the further study, it is insinuated that the study of verbal humours could be investigated along with the non-verbal communication in order to see the connectivity among the verbal humour and non-verbal communication within conversation.

The researcher chose one class of eleventh graders that had 32 students in it. In conducting the study, the researcher observed the existing materials and interviewed the teacher for the need analysis. After that, the researcher developed the ESP vocational speaking materials, then conducted the expert validation to some experts and tests and gave questionnaires to the students. The researcher, then, calculated the product’s effectiveness by using t-test. It was found out that the product was considered effective based on the t-test result and very good based on the questionnaire analysis.
