Abstract

This study compares the communication strategies employed in synchronous and asynchronous media during the learning of English. E-learning has been employed more frequently. This condition enables English subjects to be taught and learned in a setting without face-to-face interaction. E-learning is available in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Based on the communication methods that arose in both modes, this study was done to present the emergence of communication strategies in both media. The present study involved 36 university students who were enrolled in a teaching methodology course and one lecturer. Specifically, the data were gathered through WhatsApp Group observation and Zoom interviews. The discussion of the study was presented using an explanatory format because it was a qualitative study. From the study, there were 3 types of communication strategies found in synchronous (Zoom), namely codeswitching (87%), time-gaining (13%), and foreignizing (0,3%). While in asynchronous mode using WhatsApp Group, codeswitching (12,5%) and literal translation (87,5%) were found. and synchronous media (Zoom). It was found that the students’ engagement in the WhatsApp group was higher (82%) than was found in Zoom (18%). However, the attitude and awareness of the students also played a significant role in the development of the communication strategies. This study contributes to the research on communication strategies found not only in oral form but also in written form and can be a consideration to promote the teaching of communication strategies.

Abstract

Integrated teaching with cultural content has become an interesting issue. However, academic circles have not received much attention regarding the integration of Maluku’s local wisdom in teaching English. Education offers students the best opportunity to get in touch with foreign cultures. However, teaching a foreign language is challenging because teachers not only teach vocabulary and grammar, but teachers also need to teach students how and when to use that language. In other words, learning a language also involves learning about culture. It is important to realize that teaching materials must balance the culture of the target language. It would be useful if it could be used in situations where language is required. One of the things in teaching English that must be considered is material that is relevant to the cultural background of our students because that will make the learning process more meaningful. This paper offers a description of ‘papeda’ as one of Maluku's local wisdom that can be used as teaching material to build students’ character with the principles and moral values from their culture that will prepare them to face the era of globalization. It ends with practical examples and technical guidelines for integrating Maluku’s local wisdom into English teaching materials.
