Abstract

This research examines the use of speech acts in YouTube videos by professional English communication trainers Learning a Language? Speak It Like You’re Playing a Video Game by Marianna Pascal and Think Fast. Talk Smart by Matt Abrahams. It compared speech acts utilized by the two professional trainers to explain how they effectively deliver their messages to diverse audiences. The analysis focused on identifying the realization, similarities, and differences in using Searle’s (1976) five types of speech acts. The data for this research consisted of words, phrases, clauses, or sentences containing speech acts spoken by Pascal and Abraham during their speeches. This research employed a qualitative research method to categorize and analyze the speech acts. The findings revealed the differences in their communication styles despite of the similar predominant use of representative and directive acts. Pascal’s narrative style was appealing and easy to understand compared to Abraham’s logical and authoritative approach. Pascal’s directives inspire self-reflection more, whereas Abraham’s were direct and effective. The research offers a comprehensive perspective on the speech act strategies employed by professional English communication trainers thereby making valuable contributions to speech act theory and its application in real-world contexts.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve instructors' skills in writing scientific articles and English presentations to strengthen their participation in international seminars. The main problems identified were instructors' poor ability to write articles that adhere to scientific principles and limited academic presentation skills in English. The activity was implemented in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The training methods used included guided writing, concept presentations, hands-on practice, and intensive mentoring. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests, practical performance assessments, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The training results showed significant improvements in knowledge and skills. The average post-test score for participants increased compared to the pre-test, indicating an improved understanding of scientific writing structure and presentation techniques. Eighty-five percent of participants were able to produce complete drafts of scientific articles and demonstrated improved skills in preparing and delivering academic presentations in English, including aspects of delivery, fluency, and slide design. Furthermore, the participant satisfaction rate reached 92%, indicating that the training materials and strategies were considered relevant and beneficial for their professional development. However, this activity still has limitations, particularly related to the training duration and the variation in participants' initial abilities. Overall, this program is effective in improving the academic competency of instructors and has the potential to be replicated on a wider scale to support the continuous increase in scientific publications and international participation.
