Abstract

In today's globalized world, school teachers and staff need to equip themselves with English skills not only for the classroom but also for broader communication. This community service program aimed to improve their general English competence for daily interactions by involving teachers and administrative staff of a private elementary school in Salatiga. The program began with a needs analysis through interviews to identify their English language needs. Based on these findings, the materials were designed and delivered using learner-centered methods. The training was conducted over five sessions, each lasting about 100 minutes, and incorporated technology to enhance engagement. As a result of the training, the participants reported positive benefits for their daily activities at school.

Abstract

Abstract. The main character, Yasmin, in the novel Maya was described as a strong and independent woman. Her relationship with other characters in the novel was the main focus of this research in terms of the power relation between Yasmin and other characters. This study aimed to find out Yasmin’s traits (in addition to the existing traits analyzed) through the analysis of politeness strategies used by Yasmin in her relationship with other characters. Qualitative method was used in which data analyzed were utterances. The utterances were analyzed based on the power relation between speaker and hearer as well as the politeness strategies used. The discussion showed that Yasmin used positive politeness more than other strategies and put herself in the position of holding the power in her relationship with other characters. Thus, Yasmin can be considered as a person who is confident as well as flexible. Keywords: Politeness Strategies, Character, Power Relation
