Abstract

Special skills are needed for the teachers to teach the students. This study was carried out as an initial investigation regarding the challenges of two teachers teaching a class of students with special needs. An intensive interview with two teachers who teach students with special needs was used to conduct this case study. There are two main focuses in this study, investigating teachers’ experiences and barriers in terms of language and communication with students. This study concluded that in terms of teaching English; speaking, listening, and reading skills are most prioritized to be taught but are also the most difficult to teach in an inclusive classroom. Teachers need to prepare interesting and innovative media to attract students' attention in learning considering the unpredictable focus of students with special needs. Visual media such as videos and pictures are the most effectivemedia in learning English.Calling the student's full name, making eye contact, and body language is the best way to communicate and teach them, and research and development should be conducted to design effective media and learning strategies. This study suggests that in the future there will be many researchers conducting research and development research who design effective media for teaching English to students with special needs.

Abstract

Extensive reading is an effective approach to learning reading. However, this approach is sometimes criticized since it is difficult to measure the improvements in learners’ reading skills. This is due to the primary objective of extensive reading being "reading for pleasure." A refreshment is needed regarding the learning process by adding some supplements to the learning activities. This paper proposes a fresh perspective on implementing an extensive reading project by incorporating the concepts of hyperlearning and cultural context-based reading. Hyperlearning is leveraging technology to improve the reading experience while also solidifying a profound value whilst the cultural context involves selecting texts that are relevant to the interests or background of the learner. By incorporating this approach into their learning experience, learners can improve their language skills while enjoying a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. In this way, learners will cultivate learning habits that are called "hyperlearners".

Abstract

Cooperative maxim principles refer to the rules that should be obeyed to generate effective and efficient communication in a conversation. However, in certain circumstances, cooperative maxim violation may create a sense of humor among audiences. Hence, this study is conducted to analyze the violation of four maxims in cooperative principles to create humor in one of the episodes of the American situation comedy ‘friends’ (Episode 9 in 6th Season: “The One When Ross Got High”). Grice’s four maxims; Quality, Quantity, Relation, and Manner are the main analysis tool in the study. This research is conducted by using a descriptive qualitative study. The primary data is taken from the video of the sitcom and the dialogue was transcribed. The result revealed that there were 27 maxim violations; 13 times quality maxim violation, two times quantity maxim violation, three times relation maxim violation, and 9 times manner maxim violation. The ‘friends’ sitcom characters are dishonest, provide unnecessary details, are redundant, and cause expression obscurity and ambiguity. However, these violations, in the eyes of sitcom viewers, attract laughter and a humorous effect.
