Abstract

Complimenting is a typical speaking act and the method in which it is responded to can vary based on the culture of the speakers as well as the influence of other circumstances. The purpose of this study was to provide a more in-depth knowledge of compliment response research based on how it is used by university students learning EFL in everyday life. Furthermore, this study also aims at finding out if exposure to another culture affects university students learning English as a second language while responding to compliments. The data were garnered using data elicitation method by complimenting the participants’ look, possession, character, or aptitude. The finding found that the participants used ten types of responses; listed from the most frequently used type of compliment responses to the least used type of compliment responses: Comment Acceptance (8), Appreciation Token (2), Comment History (2), Question (2), Praise Upgrade (1), Reassignment (1), Return (1), Scale Down (1), Disagreement (1), and Qualification (1). According to the data, the majority of students in an international English literature class at Brawijaya University are likely to accept the compliments. Students tend to take compliments by thanking them and then making related comments. English-speaking countries consider a simple "thank you" to be an adequate response to a praise. This present study also confirms that short term encounterance with foreign culture exposure slightly affect EFL learners’ way of responding to compliments. This shows that the students learn the English language culture in terms of compliment.

Abstract

This study aims at developing a critical reading test for Indonesian EFL students. This (R & D) project is intended to assess students' progress and is supposed to offer accurate and trustworthy results. The subjects were twenty students from the English Language and Literature Department at Brawijaya University who took part in the try out stage. The test items' difficulty indices ranged from 0.26 to 0.89. The reliability coefficient for the KR-20 was determined to be 0.95, indicating that this multiple-choice critical reading comprehension test is valid and reliable. Despite of the fact that the Critical Reading test is declared valid and reliable, the students’ score taking the Critical Reading test during the try out is less satisfactory. This might be caused by limited number of students taking the try out or problems dealing with teaching and learning process of critical reading in the classroom causing students’ inability to do the test well. Future researchers are suggested to address this issue by either involving more participants during the try out to get the reasons underlying students lack of ability in doing critical reading test.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate three issues namely (1) the types of  code switching practiced by Timorese, (2) the factors influencing their multilingualism, and (3)the reasons of Timorese to choose Portuguese over Bahasa Indonesia as the official language.The information was gathered through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, and it was evaluated using Holmes’s code-switching theories. The current study finds that the Timorese mostly used metaphorical code-switching. This happens due to a paucity of vocabulary in Tetum, which lead to lexical borrowing and the adoption of Portuguese words into Tetum and lead Timorese unwittingly flip metaphorical codes. Additionaly, the country’s many languages cause a metaphorical code-switching among the speakers. Furthermore, this study also reveals that multilingualism and the phenomenon of code-switching in Timor-Leste are influenced by colonization, geographical factor, television shows, social media and mix marriages. Lastly, Portuguese is chosen as the official language due to prolonged colonialization and occupation.

Abstract

This study examines the use of euphemisms in tweets posted by international football clubs in response to the Kanjuruhan Stadium tragedy. Guided by Allan and Burridge's (2012) theory, fifteen tweets were analyzed and classified based on the types of euphemisms employed. The research identifies various euphemisms, including hyperboles, distortions, and metaphors, used to soften the impact of tragic events and convey condolences. Through a thorough analysis, the study explores the purposes of euphemisms in online communication and their effectiveness in conveying emotions while maintaining a respectful tone. The research also considers the influence of social media platforms on language variation and expression, highlighting Twitter's role as a platform for emotional expression. Furthermore, the study provides insights into communication dynamics in online spaces. It suggests avenues for future research to explore euphemism topics using alternative theoretical frameworks and sources beyond social media platforms. Overall, this research contributes to understanding how euphemistic language is utilized in digital discourse and its implications for online communication strategies.
