Abstract

Teachers’ communication style plays an important role in teaching and learning process because the students’ success in learning will be significantly influenced by styles that the teacher used to communicate with the students. Therefore, it is important to investigate the styles of communication used by teachers in the classroom. This research focused on exploring the communication styles used by male and female teachers in EFL classroom, the similarities and the differences between male and female teachers’ communication styles, and the aspects influencing their communication styles. This research was based on a study conducted at State University of Makassar, particularly in English Education Department, in September 2018. This study involved two male teachers and two female teachers of English Education Department. To collect data, the researcher recorded teaching process carried out by the four teachers in the classroom. Each teacher was recorded in two meetings, so eight recordings from the four teachers were obtained, transcribed, and analyzed by using discourse analysis approach. The communication styles used by teachers were analyzed based on the theory of communication style by Mikoluk (2013) and Lanz (2015). The findings showed that there were four communication styles used by male and female teachers in EFL classroom. They were assertive, aggressive, passive, and passive-aggressive styles. Male teachers were more dominant than the female teachers in the use of assertive, aggressive, and passive style, whereas female teachers were more dominant than the male teachers for passive-aggressive style. In addition, there were 3 aspects that influenced the teachers’ communication style. They were classroom atmosphere, teaching time, and subject taught. Findings of this study were advantageous to expand insights about communication style used by teachers in EFL classroom, including how it affected the teaching process and what aspects influence the communication style. Those insights then became consideration for EFL teachers to improve their teaching performance.

Abstract

The way teachers communicate with students significantly affects the success of learning. Giving imperatives is one of the methods teachers use to communicate with students and enhance the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This research aimed to analyze the imperatives used by teachers in EFL classroom interactions in Indonesian secondary schools. The study employed a qualitative design. The subjects of the research were a representative English teacher and students from class XI IPS at SMAN 3 Enrekang, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through classroom observations, video recordings, and interviews. The data were then analyzed using an interactive model of data analysis, which included data collection, data display, data condensation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings revealed that the teacher used different expressions when giving imperatives during the teaching and learning process, including positive, brief, and negative imperatives. The teacher employed imperatives to manage the classroom and instruct students. The use of imperatives was effective because students generally understood the teacher’s expectations, although the teacher sometimes needed to repeat certain imperatives to ensure student compliance. Students were able to grasp the imperatives easily because the teacher usually gave brief instructions. However, when the teacher used a different style of imperative, students sometimes became confused and struggled to respond immediately.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing students' anxiety in speaking English at SMA Muhammadiyah Kalosi, aiming to identify specific challenges and propose practical solutions to enhance speaking performance. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis of 33 high school students. The results reveal that self-perception, fear of ridicule, feelings of inability, lack of preparation, and fear of making mistakes significantly contribute to speaking anxiety. Observational data corroborate these findings, highlighting symptoms like rapid breathing and nervous laughter. Reducing anxiety includes thorough preparation, mental training, and authentic materials like English songs and films. The study emphasizes the importance of a supportive classroom environment and provides insights into effective anxiety management techniques. These findings have implications for English language teaching practices, suggesting that creating a safe space for making mistakes and incorporating engaging materials can enhance students' confidence and speaking skills. The study contributes to the broader discourse on language anxiety and offers a foundation for future research in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Teacher questioning plays a crucial role in shaping student engagement and learning outcomes in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. However, previous research indicates that many EFL teachers predominantly use display questions, which limit students' opportunities for critical thinking and communicative competence. This study investigates the types of questions employed by teachers in an EFL classroom at SMAN 3 Enrekang and examines their impact on student participation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations and video recordings, which were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that display questions were the most frequently used, followed by yes/no, referential, and open-ended questions. While display questions effectively assess comprehension, they often elicit brief, factual responses rather than promoting in-depth discussion. In contrast, referential and open-ended questions, though less frequent, encourage longer, more meaningful student responses, fostering higher-order thinking. Challenges such as curriculum constraints, student language proficiency, and teacher questioning habits contribute to the limited use of diverse questioning strategies. These findings suggest that EFL teachers should adopt a more balanced approach to questioning, incorporating both lower-order and higher-order questions to enhance classroom interaction. The study highlights the need for teacher training programs to equip educators with effective questioning techniques and recommends further research on the long-term impact of questioning strategies on language acquisition. By refining classroom discourse, this study contributes to improving pedagogical practices and fostering active student participation in EFL learning environments.
