Abstract

This research reports on the flouting of cooperative principle maxims in a comedy movie. The data were taken from conversational exchanges of a comedy movie entitled Meet the Parents, and were collected by transcribing the exchanges exposing humor occurred in the movie. The exchanges potentially flouting the maxims were analyzed in the light of Grice’s CP maxims, elaborated further in Thomas (1995), to look into the types of maxims flouted and the ways the maxims were flouted. The exchanges were then further analyzed as to find whether the types of verbal humor are particular to each maxim flout. The analysis revealed that the four types of maxims, i.e. Quantity, Quality, Relevance, and Manner, occurred to have been flouted so as to create humor. The Quality maxim was the most commonly flouted (55.6%), whereas the least commonly flouted was the Relevance maxim (6.3%). The speakers flouted the maxims in a number of different ways particular to each maxim. Moreover, the analysis found that maxim flouts were relevant to the types of verbal humor. Therefore, given the importance of pragmatic competence that the foreign language (FL) learners should acquire, it is suggested that pragmatics should be explicitly taught and integrated into the teaching of English.Keywords: pragmatic competence, the cooperative principle, conversational exchanges, maxim flout, verbal humor

Abstract

The present study presents the instructional procedures of the implementation of corpus-aided discovery learning and the extent to which corpus-aided discovery learning can create motivating and successful English grammar learning environment for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. Corpora promotes inductive learning in terms of that students not only acquire grammar by language data, observation and self-discovery of rules, but also find it entertaining and exciting to make grammar rule generalization on their own (Cheng, 2011; Hunston,2002). Drawing on data of a questionnaire and an interview, the students recounted that incorporating corpus-informed data into grammar learning was very satisfying and useful, and students can be sure that the language they are practicing is up-to-date, used in everyday situations. It is not artificial or invented language but consists of the most widely used grammar (McCarthy, 2004). In addition, language corpora helped students to learn about certain language uses that were not available in any of the traditional tools. Another finding shows that students understood how certain language forms were used by native speakers of English, and students revealed more positive attitude toward corpus in learning English grammar. The findings imply that corpus-informed data can be a means of encouraging autonomous learning, illustrating real uses of abstract rules, presenting authentic daily grammar, and promoting exploratory inductive learning. However, some students, especially inexperienced students, found learning grammar through corpus-informed data was difficult or boring.

Abstract

Recount text is a staple material taught in the first year of Indonesian secondary schools yet research on this dominant ELT unit is limited despite the common observation of many students struggling to produce a well-written recount text. To address this research gap and problem, this study conducted a textual meaning analysis in the texts written by tenth-grade Vocational School. This study aimed to figure out the types of themes shown in 14 recount texts written by 14 students from two different vocational schools with other majors. The approach used the content analysis method and belonged to descriptive qualitative research. Content analysis is used as the technique to analyse the data considering Eggins’ 1994 Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory. The analysis revealed that most of the themes used are Unmarked Topical Themes. Every student has a different way of delivering messages in the Recount text that they made. Moreover, the researchers found Marked Topical Theme, Mood Adjunct Interpersonal Theme, Conjunction Textual Theme, Conjunctive Textual Theme, Continuative Textual Theme, and Multiple Theme. The result of the present study is hoped to provide insights, gained from observing patterns of Theme and Rheme relations, for secondary English teachers’ endeavours to help improve students’ cohesion.

Abstract

This best practice article presents a guided teaching strategy aimed at vocational students to improve their procedure text writing skills. The practical application-focused program focuses on developing students' understanding, writing skills, and speaking in professional contexts. The challenges vocational students face in combining technical expertise with clear communication are addressed through interactive activities, self-correction techniques, and various presentation methods. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) genre pedagogy and the Teaching and Learning Cycle (TLC) form the basis of the teaching approach. The study, conducted in a West Java vocational school, uses a case study design that demonstrates the coexistence of anxiety and excitement, the effectiveness of collaboration, and strategies for overcoming obstacles in learning procedure texts. The findings highlight the central role of teaching strategy in preparing vocational students to communicate effectively in their professional activities.

Abstract

In today’s rapidly digitalization educational landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. Despite its potential to improve teaching efficiency and learner engagement, the integration of AI in Indonesian vocational high schools remains limited and challenging. This study investigates how EFL teachers incorporate AI into their classroom practices, the obstacles they face, and strategies to optimize its use. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with four English teachers at a vocational high school in Karawang, West Java. Thematic analysis was conducted using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The results indicate that major barriers include inadequate infrastructure, poor internet access, limited digital device availability, and sufficient teacher digital literacy. Pedagogical issue such as dependency on AI, reduced creativity, and ethical concerns like plagiarism and decreased student autonomy also surfaced. The study highlights the importance of targeted professional development based on TPACK, improved technological access, and ethical digital literacy in school curricula. These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing AI integration in EFL teaching at the vocational level, with implications for teacher training, curriculum design, and education policy in Indonesia.
