Abstract

This study aimed to 1) describe the types of speech acts used by members of the English Students Association (ESA), and 2) explore the communication strategies applied within the association. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with 20 ESA members as the subjects. The data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The findings revealed that the members of ESA employed locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in their daily communication. Common speech acts identified included warning, requesting, inviting, suggesting, promising, refusal, and commanding. Furthermore, communication strategies such as politeness—both positive and negative—were evident, with members often using direct and indirect forms of communication to achieve their goals. The results also indicated that ESA members were interested in and actively engaged in utilizing speech acts and communication strategies in their interactions. This was evidenced by the average questionnaire score of 82.30, categorized as high interest. The findings suggest that understanding and applying speech acts and communication strategies enhance the effectiveness of communication within the organization.

Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the pretest and posttest results of participants in practical training for oyster mushroom cultivation in Tasiwalie Village, Pinrang Regency. The training aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of participants in mushroom cultivation, with a specific focus on the context of the Lowita Mushroom business group. This research utilizes pretest and posttest as measurement tools to assess the effectiveness of the training program. The methodology involves administering pretests to evaluate participants' baseline knowledge and skills before the training. Subsequently, practical training in oyster mushroom cultivation is conducted. Posttests are then administered to measure participants' improvement and understanding after completing the training. The initial findings from distributed questionnaires indicate an analysis of pretest and posttest scores, revealing a significant change in participants' scores. Specifically, the pretest scores show an average increase of 52.10, while the posttest scores show an average increase of 67.75, representing approximately a 30% average improvement among the 20 respondents. The positive impact of the training on the development of mushroom cultivation skills within the context of the Lowita Mushroom business group is evident. This research contributes to a broader understanding of the effectiveness of practical training programs in enhancing specific skills, particularly in the field of mushroom cultivation. The results emphasize the importance of training initiatives in fostering economic development and improving the well-being of the local community, with implications for sustainable practices in the Tasiwalie Village area. Further analysis and long-term follow-up are recommended to assess the sustainable impact of the training on participants and the overall development of the Lowita Mushroom business group in Tasiwalie Village, Pinrang Regency.

Abstract

This study investigates how university students utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning from a digital literacy perspective. Conducted between February–April 2024, the research involved nine undergraduate students from Universitas Ichsan Sidenreng Rappang who actively used AI tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Duolingo in their daily learning practices. Using a qualitative thematic analysis, the study explored students’ experiences, challenges, and expectations regarding AI-supported EFL learning. Findings show that AI contributed substantially to improving students’ vocabulary, grammar accuracy, and speaking fluency, with several participants reporting that AI-based feedback helped them understand errors more quickly and increased their learning motivation—some estimating up to a 20–30% improvement in confidence and task completion efficiency. However, issues such as inconsistent responses, fabricated references, and overreliance on AI revealed gaps in students’ critical digital literacy. The study highlights the need for strengthened digital literacy training and more structured integration of AI tools in higher education to ensure ethical, accurate, and effective use of AI for language learning.
