Abstract

This study aims to investigate the discourse structure of refusal to requests in interactions among Japanese female university students, examining the roles adopted and assigned by speakers, the phases of refusal discourse, and the organization of moves. This qualitative case study research involves 20 pairs of female participants from a public university in Kanazawa, Japan. The data are obtained through video-recorded role-play exchanges based on provided scenarios. The findings reveal that refusals are not expressed as direct rejections but rather emerge through a staged, interactionally negotiated process characterized by indirectness, mitigation, and sensitivity to interpersonal relationships. Speakers collaboratively construct refusals through gradual shifts in speech functions and role relations, often employing incongruent realizations in which linguistic forms diverge from their intended communicative functions. These patterns enable participants to manage face-threatening acts while preserving social harmony. The study underscores the role of discourse-semantic resources and politeness strategies in shaping refusal practices, offering broader implications for cross-cultural communication, pragmatics, and the teaching of Japanese as a foreign language, particularly in developing learners’ awareness of culturally appropriate interactional norms.

Abstract

This study reports on the investigation of problems and causes of lack of Japanese language knowledge and skills of Indonesian intern trainees, as also highlighted in some previous studies, such as by Kamiya (2017), Wu (2020), and Pranasari and Iskandar (2022). Involving 262 Japanese language teachers at 177 vocational education and training centers spread all over Indonesia as the participants, this qualitative study collects the data via Google Form, investigating three key areas, involving teacher, teaching process, and students that are potentially contributing to the problems and causes that result in the lack of Japanese language knowledge and skills of Indonesian intern trainees. The results show that the first and foremost problem that contributes to the lack of Japanese language knowledge and skills of Indonesian intern trainees is the teacher. The main cause is their low education background; apart from not meeting the standards set by the Indonesian government as enacted in the Legislation of the National Education System Number 20 Year 2003 Article 39 Line 2 and the Government Rule Number 19 Year 2005, they have low competencies, particularly in pedagogy and professionalism. Their limited pedagogy and professional literacies, skills, and experiences have contributed to the poor performance of the teaching and learning process and the lack of students’ knowledge and skills in Japanese language education.

Abstract

Writing a research proposal is one of the requirements for university students to be able to write an undergraduate thesis. It requires high academic writing skills that most students find challenging. Even so, this skill can still be taught as long as lecturers have knowledge of students’ abilities and difficulties in writing. This qualitative study is conducted to serve this purpose. They involve two data collection methods: document analysis and Focused Group Discussion (FGD). This case-study research investigated problems and causes in writing a research proposal faced by students studying Program Japanese Language at a public university in Bandung in writing a research proposal. The results were analyzed from general and specific factors as follows: generally, their problems lie in the lack of students’ knowledge of systematicity, components, and elements supporting the components of a research proposal. Further, three factors were responsible for the causes of the problems, including low-quality references, insufficient information provided in the teaching materials and the teaching, and less exposure and effort on readings. The results of identifying the problems and causes will be used as a reference for developing teaching materials for writing research proposals in the Research Methodology Course.   Abstrak Sebagian besar mahasiswa jenjang pendidikan Sarjana menganggap penulisan proposal cukup menantang karena membutuhkan keterampilan menulis akademis yang tinggi.
