Abstract

Interlanguage Pragmatics examines how people with different first languages and cultural backgrounds use a common language system during social interactions. This research aimed to examine apology strategies employed by native speakers of Indonesia and Indonesian learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). A total of 40 people took part in the study, 20 native speakers of Indonesia and 20 learners of Indonesian as a foreign language (EFL). The study utilized a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) consisting of 6 different situations. The data were analyzed using the Banikalef (2015) methodology, which was obtained from the Olshtain and Cohen (1983) framework. The data demonstrate that they employ different strategies when offering apologies. Some of these strategies are IFID, explanation of account, acknowledgement of responsibility, offer of repairs, denial of responsibility, and concern for the hearer. It analyses the correlation between the utilization of politeness in social factors, such as power and social distance. Furthermore, gender differences cannot be overlooked.

Abstract

Classroom interaction is defined as an interaction in order to transfer the knowledge from teacher to students or sometimes exchange ideas between student to other students. In order to reach students’ understanding about the material, interaction between teacher and students are crucial. As the result, this research aimed to analyze and compare the teachers’ questioning in two languages, English and Indonesian. Then, it applied a qualitative descriptive method as a research design. There were six English teachers becoming the participant in this research. The research gathered the data through observation by using video recording as the instrument. After that, the video was transcribed and it analyzed based on Sidnell’s theory (2013). The result of this research presented most English teachers asked questions through target and local language and content question was the highest percentage in both languages’ questions. In questioning, teachers mostly presupposed on asking the lesson so that they applied topic agenda and the answer over non-answer response preference for all aspects of questioning.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of ToolBaz.com, an AI-based writing tool, in enhancing narrative text writing skills among grade XII students at SMAN 3 Padang, Indonesia. Given the increasing integration of AI in education, this research aims to determine whether AI-assisted writing tools improve student performance compared to traditional methods. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group that used ToolBaz.com and a control group using a non-AI tool. Writing performance was assessed through pre- and post-tests. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test and two-way ANOVA to measure the tool's impact and gender-based differences. Findings indicated a statistically significant improvement in writing scores in the experimental group (M = 80.12) compared to the control group (M = 75.37, p = 0.032). Additionally, the experimental group exhibited a lower standard deviation, suggesting more consistent learning outcomes. Gender-based analysis showed no significant differences, indicating that ToolBaz.com provides equal support for both male and female students. The results suggest that AI-based tools can enhance writing performance by offering personalized scaffolding and structured feedback, leading to more effective learning. The consistency in learning outcomes further highlights AI's role in reducing disparities in writing proficiency. AI-assisted writing tools have the potential to revolutionize writing instruction in secondary education. Further research, including longitudinal and qualitative studies, is recommended to assess long-term effects and students' perceptions of AI-based learning interventions.

Abstract

Speaking is a vital component of English language learning, yet students often struggle to perform effectively due to various cognitive and social factors. This study investigates the influence of self-regulated learning (SRL), self-confidence, and social interaction on the speaking performance of English Department students. A quantitative correlational design was used, involving 55 third-semester students from STAIN Mandailing Natal. Data were collected through validated questionnaires measuring SRL, self-confidence, and social interaction, as well as a speaking performance test evaluated by two independent raters using criteria such as fluency, accuracy, and coherence. Multiple regression analysis was conducted using Minitab version 22. Findings revealed that all three variables significantly influenced students’ speaking performance. SRL showed the highest relative contribution (33.07%, effective contribution 17.56%), followed by self-confidence (27.29%, effective contribution 14.49%), and social interaction (26.53%, effective contribution 14.07%). Together, these factors accounted for 53.07% of the variance in speaking performance. The results suggest that students who actively manage their learning strategies, possess higher confidence, and engage in social interaction are more likely to excel in speaking tasks. These findings align with theories from Zimmerman and Vygotsky, emphasizing the interplay of cognitive and social factors in language development. Integrating SRL strategies, confidence-building activities, and interactive learning in EFL classrooms can significantly enhance students' speaking performance. Educators are encouraged to design pedagogical approaches that address these three domains holistically.

Abstract

Classroom discourse varies based on the interactions between teachers and students, influencing the structure and effectiveness of teaching and learning. A well-structured classroom discourse fosters an organized teaching pattern and facilitates learning. This study analyzed the structure of classroom discourse in English classes across formal (Junior and Senior High Schools) and non-formal (English courses) education settings. A qualitative research design was employed, involving participants from second-grade classes in Junior and Senior High Schools and basic and advanced levels in English courses. Data were collected from transcripts of 20 lessons, covering interactions from opening to closing, and analyzed using the Sinclair and Coulthard model, which organizes discourse hierarchically into ranks: lesson, transaction, exchange, move, and act. The findings showed that non-formal education (basic and advanced English courses) exhibited a higher frequency of all five discourse ranks compared to formal education settings (Junior and Senior High Schools). Non-formal settings also demonstrated more complete discourse stages—opening, body, and closing—indicating a more structured interaction pattern. These results suggest that non-formal education may provide a more conducive environment for student participation and interaction, potentially benefiting language acquisition. The study underscores the effectiveness of non-formal education settings in fostering structured classroom discourse. Further research should explore specific teaching strategies in non-formal settings to enhance interaction and learning outcomes in formal education contexts.
