Abstract

In recent years, information and communication technology (ICT) has become embedded and affected the every aspect of our lives. Rapid development of ICT has changed our language teaching pedagogy at all levels. Teachers, curriculum developers, researchers have been constantly striving to find techniques to use some form of it to both assist and enhance language learning. What is more exciting is that studies have demonstrated positive effects that ICT brings towards students’ learning motivation (Chenoweth, Ushida & Murday, 2006; Stepp- Greany, 2002), students’ personal needs and learning styles (Gimenez, 2000), students’ language mastery (Stepp-Greany, 2002), effective teaching and learning process (Al-Jarf, 2004), etc. Although these studies have shown that ICT has the potential important role in supporting and enhancing language learning, the use of ICT should never be the goal in and of itself. The responsibility for language instruction should be in the hands of qualified teachers who have the knowledge and expertise to manage and to make the best use of it to accomplish learning objectives. This interview highlights the issue of bringing ICT into the English language classrooms. Dr. A. Gumawang Jati, a senior lecturer at Faculty of Arts and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) who specializes in the area of Technology and Education, was interviewed to share his experiences and insights on how ICT could be effectively used to support the language development process.

Abstract

This study observed the apology strategies used by five customer service officers of Mandiri Bank and five customer service officers of Mega Bank in Surabaya. The data were analyzed using the theory of apology strategies proposed by Trosborg (1995). The findings show that both the customer service officers of Mandiri and Mega Bank mostly used Checking strategy when handling the complaints. Overall, it was found that all customer service officers used seven types of apology strategies and they did not use sixteen apology strategies. This happened probably probably because they had tendency to use strategies commonly used among Indonesians and probably because they were not trained to use other strategies.
