Abstract

Objective: This research was titled “Impolite Reader’s Responses on Online BBC News Comments”. This research found out the impoliteness strategies on BBC News comments. Materials and Methods. The research used a qualitative method. The data were the BBC News Comments. The data were analyzed by the theory of Culpeper. Results. Based on the data analysis found that the data of impoliteness strategy consisted of fifty responses, such as positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm and mock, and bald on record. Positive impoliteness strategy gained 26 utterances (54%) which contained 7 utterances (14%) for inappropriate identity markers, 6 (12%) for ignorance, 4 (8%) utterances for discussing a sensitive topic, 2 utterances (4%) for each secretive language and taboo words, and only one (2%) utterance for disinterested. Then, it was followed by a negative impoliteness strategy that gained 16 utterances (30%), which contained 8 utterances (16%) for condescending, 5 utterances (10%) for explicitly associating, and 2 utterances (4%) for frightened. While, sarcasm and mock gained 6 utterances (12%), and bald on record only gained 2 utterances (4%) for dismissal. Conclusion. The use of the impoliteness strategy in this data conveys an impolite response by using some of the characteristics of the impoliteness strategy. From all types of impoliteness, with-holding impoliteness strategy can’t be found in this research because it should be mostly found in direct two-way interactions rather than responses in the commentary column.

Abstract

This study investigates the various speaking difficulties faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, with a particular focus on Management and Accounting students. Despite having several years of formal English education, many students still struggle to communicate effectively and confidently in spoken English. This situation highlights a significant gap between classroom instruction and students’ actual communicative competence. The study aims to identify the root causes of these challenges and examine how linguistic and psychological factors interact to hinder students’ oral performance. These psychological factors are often reinforced by the lack of adequate speaking practice both inside and outside the classroom, resulting in limited exposure to authentic language use. The findings indicate that students’ speaking difficulties are not solely rooted in linguistic deficiencies, but are strongly influenced by affective factors and insufficient communicative interaction. Therefore, the study recommends that speaking instruction integrate more interactive and student-centered activities, such as group discussions, role-plays, and task-based speaking tasks, in order to create a more supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, teachers are encouraged to provide positive feedback and foster an atmosphere that allows students to feel comfortable taking risks when using English.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Project-Based English Health Promotion Activities in improving students’ speaking skills. The study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups : a control group taught using conventional methods and an experimental group taught using project-based learning. The participants were 50 fourth-semester undergraduate Public Health students, divided into two classes of 25 students each. Students’ speaking skills were assessed through a pre-test and post-test focusing on fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. The data were analyzed using t-tests. The results showed that both groups improved their speaking skills, but the experimental group achieved significantly higher improvement than the control group (p < 0.05). The study concludes that Project-Based English Health Promotion Activities are effective in enhancing students’ speaking skills and can be applied in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction, particularly in health-related programs.
