Abstract

One of the challenges that language teachers face is developing the language competence of Foreign Language learners so that they can use language correctly and appropriately in a variety of social contexts. This study aims to observe whether there is an effect of pragmatic instruction in EFL classroom to learners’ grammatical and pragmatic competence. The data collected were from year 2 English students by using grammatical and pragmatic pre-tests and post-test for students to answer. Students were divided into two groups of the treatment group which receive pragmatic instructions of implied meanings and the control group which received regular teaching. Students’ answers in the tests were analysed quantitatively to obtain the mean score and further will be compared. The results show that: 1) students perform low on both aspects in both pretest and posttest (m1.1=3.63, m1.2=4.83, m2.1=4.27, and m2.2=3.47), 2) there is a moderate positive effect of pragmatic instruction on students’ grammatical competence (t(60)=-3.73, p=0.000), and 3) there’s no effect of pragmatic instruction on students’ pragmatic competence (t(65)=1.73, p=0.089). This finding indicates the role that explicit pragmatic instruction may play in boosting EFL learners’ grammatical development, along with the extensive grammar learning that learners received. It suggests the need EFL curricula revision through incorporating pragmatic features in grammatical subjects. In this way, grammar learning can be improved, and pragmatic teaching model can also be created.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form of speech acts used by content creators in beauty product endorsement videos on TikTok platform. The research method used is qualitative collecting the data of utterances found in beauty products endorsement videos posted by TikTok content creators. Nine videos were selected from three top beauty content creators who have the highest number of followers. Three videos picked from each beauty content creator were based on the engagement rate that the video got (i.e. number of comments, number of views, and number of likes). The utterances were analysed by applying J.L. Austin's (1962) speech act theory to categorize the types of speech acts at the three levels of locution, illocution, and perlocution, which are used in digital promotional videos. The results showed that content creators mostly used directive and assertive speech acts in their endorsement videos. At the perlocutionary level, comment sections were observed and it was found that the selection of speech acts have created a sense of resonance to the audiences; thus, influencing their evaluations to the promoted products. These findings have brought implications on how communicative actions can shape brand identity leading to audiences engagement and trust towards the products.
