This study analyzed the interaction pattern and type of act used by teacher and students to see the ideal pattern in the classroom. The data analysis shows that (a) the dominant pattern used in the classroom is complete pattern (IRF) and there are also semi-complete pattern (IR) and incomplete pattern (IF); (b) In the type of acts section, the elicitation is the highest followed by informative and starter in the initiation move,  reply as the highest act in the response move, and in the follow up accept as the highest followed by comment. It can be concluded that interaction pattern in the classroom is dominantly occured is ideal pattern but it’s not good interaction pattern because delimit student opportunity in the classroom

Abstract

The most essential element of English teaching is culture. The cultural content of the language education and learning process supports students to describe the language that exists in that culture. Cultural content is communicated through the textbook as essential in education and learning. So, culture content analysis is critical to selecting, developing, and effectively using the correct textbooks. This research aims to examine the types of cultures represented in textbooks, classify them into source, target, and international cultures (Cortazzi & Jin, 1999), and how the cultures of the classified textbooks are represented. It is to discover aesthetic, social, semantic, and practical senses (Adaskou, Britten & Fahsi, 1990). Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods. This research data is from the English textbook When English Rings for Junior High School. This data is cultural material gathered from all textbook readings, conversations, tasks, and images and converted in frequency. Two results were found in the textbook analysis. First are the results presented in the textbook entitled "When English Rings the Bell," which are source culture, target culture, and international culture. Secondly, the culture of both textbooks was represented primarily by pragmatic sensations compared to aesthetic, semantic, and sociological sensations. Therefore, there was an imbalance between the type of culture presented and how cultures were presented in the textbook.

Abstract

Doubtful receivables are one of the main challenges in financial management, particularly for public service providers such as PT PLN (Persero). This study aims to analyze strategies that can be implemented to reduce doubtful receivables and their impact on the company's cash performance. The research employs a quantitative approach by analyzing financial data from PT PLN (Persero) ULP Denai over a specific period. The results indicate that implementing more effective collection strategies, a digital customer monitoring system, and discount and incentive policies for timely payments significantly contribute to reducing doubtful receivables. Additionally, optimizing the prepaid electricity system (token-based payment) has proven to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables.

Abstract

This research emphasizes the need for more attention in improving students' confidence in communicating with English as well as exploring other factors that affect students' learning motivation. The purpose of the research is to explore the factors influencing EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' willingness to communicate (WTC) and their motivation in English communication. The study aims to identify how intrinsic and extrinsic motivations affect students' confidence and participation in speaking activities, ultimately allowing educators to tailor teaching strategies to better meet students' needs. The principal results indicate that students' assessment of their English-speaking ability falls into two main categories based on their scores: those scoring 0-5 (69.23%), who exhibit lower confidence and are hesitant to participate due to fear of mistakes and social anxiety, and those scoring 6-10 (30,76%), who demonstrate higher confidence and are more engaged in class discussions and presentations. This suggests a significant correlation between motivation levels and students' willingness to communicate. The major conclusions drawn from the research highlight the importance of fostering both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to enhance students' WTC. By creating a supportive learning environment and employing engaging teaching methods, educators can help students overcome their fears and anxieties, thereby improving their communication skills in English. Speaking is one of necessary skill to communicate, so the researcher asserts the things needed to enhance students’ confidence to communicate in English and also to find out the exclude factors which can influence their learning motivation. This research aimed to find out the Factors influencing EFL (English Foreign Language) Students’ Willingness to communicate (WTC) and their motivation in Speaking to do a communication. It explored how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation affect students to be confidence and take a part in the speaking activities. Those actually to help teacher ready with the analysis of the students’ need before delivering the material in EFL class. The finding showed that There are two main categories of students in the English-speaking ability from the assessment given. The first one is scoring 0-5 (69,23%)

Abstract

English non-native speaker (NNS) hosts in television broadcasting often face communicative pressures where maintaining fluency, accuracy, and audience engagement is critical. These challenges require the use of compensatory strategies, that is, techniques to overcome gaps in linguistic proficiency and sustain interaction. This study investigates the linguistic and non-linguistic communication strategies employed by NNS hosts on SEA Today TV across two formats: talk shows (TS) and on-location interviews (OL). Using a mixed-methods content analysis, 20 purposively selected broadcast episodes (2021–2025) were examined to represent program variety and host diversity. Data were coded using an adapted version of Farrahi’s (2011) taxonomy, with 20% of the corpus double-coded; inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s κ TS = 1.000; Cohen’s κ OL = 0.875) confirmed coding consistency. The findings identified two main groups of strategies (linguistic and non-linguistic) comprising sixteen subcategories, of which fourteen were observed. Eight strategies, including approximation, elaboration, and body gestures, emerged as a shared “core repertoire.” Contextual contrasts were also evident: talk shows displayed higher reliance on appeal for help and circumlocution due to their collaborative studio setting. At the same time, on-location interviews emphasized elaboration and environmental gestures in response to real-time unpredictability. These results demonstrate that NNS hosts flexibly adapt a stable repertoire of strategies to context-specific demands. Pedagogically, the results suggest that broadcaster training and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) instruction should explicitly incorporate communication strategy practice. For instance, training modules could simulate on-location unpredictability to help hosts practise elaboration and approximation strategies, while studio-based exercises could focus on appeals for help and interactional alignment with co-hosts and guests. Such targeted activities would strengthen broadcasters’ strategic competence, enabling them to manage linguistic limitations more effectively in diverse communicative settings.
