Abstract

Bahasa kedua (L2) memiliki peran penting dalam pengembangan pragmatis. Selain itu, konteks studi di luar negeri memberikan potensi untuk pengembangan kompetensi pragmatis, namun pelajar L2 mungkin tidak begitu menyerupai penutur asli. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara pengalaman pribadi dan perkembangan pragmatis L2 di kalangan mahasiswa Indonesia selama belajar di luar negeri. Data dikumpulkan dari percakapan mereka di WeChat karena mahasiswa yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Indonesia yang saat ini sedang kuliah di China. Wawancara mendalam juga dilakukan untuk mendapatkan informasi detail terkait pengalaman pribadi mereka selama studi di luar negeri. Selain itu, bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Mandarin adalah bahasa instruksi yang digunakan dalam perkuliahan sebagai komunikasi formal dan informal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa Indonesia menggunakan empat fungsi pragmatis, yaitu berterima kasih (thanking), memuji (complimenting), meminta (requesting), dan memuji diri sendiri (self-praising). Meminta (requesting) adalah strategi yang paling sering digunakan oleh mahasiswa Indonesia yang mengambil bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar perkuliahan, sementara strategi berterima kasih (thanking) merupakan strategi yang paling banyak digunakan oleh mahasiswa Indonesia yang menggunakan Bahasa Mandarin sebagai Bahasa pengantar perkuliahan. Selain itu, perkembangan pragmatis mereka selama belajar di luar negeri dipengaruhi oleh empat faktor, yaitu pengetahuan pragmatis, kemahiran L2, kompetensi antar budaya dan interaksi sosial, serta variasi individu dimana faktor-faktor ini lebih banyak digunakan dalam strategi pujian (complimenting). The L2 setting plays a significant role in pragmatic development. Moreover, the study abroad context provides the potential for the development of pragmatic competence. However, L2 learners may not perform according to native speakers’ norms. The present study aims to explore the relationship between personal experiences and L2 pragmatic development among Indonesian students during study abroad. The data were collected from students’ conversations on WeChat since the participants involved in the study are Indonesian students who are currently pursuing their degrees in China. In-depth interviews were also conducted to obtain detailed information related to participants’ personal experiences during study abroad. In addition, English and Chinese are the language instructions used in classrooms for formal and informal communications. The results of the study show that Indonesian students employ four pragmatic functions, namely thanking, complimenting, requesting, and self-praising. Surprisingly, requesting is the most frequent strategy employed by Indonesian students enrolled in English, while the thanking strategy is mainly employed by Indonesian students enrolling in Chinese-taught programs. Moreover, their pragmatic development during study abroad is affected by four factors, including pragmatic knowledge, L2 proficiency, intercultural competence and social interactions, and individual variation. In contrast, these factors were highly used in complimenting strategy.

Abstract

This study investigates how friendship circles influence university students’ English language styles, focusing specifically on pronunciation adaptation and communication patterns. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design supported by quantitative data, involving 10 purposively selected students from an English Language Education Program in Indonesia. Data were collected using an online questionnaire consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, then analyzed using three-step model: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four key patterns of language variation shaped by peer interaction: (1) pronunciation adaptation, (2) communication style, (3) peer influence, and (4) slang and informal lexicon. Students exhibited partial pronunciation accommodation, often adopting certain native-like features while maintaining local accents to balance group belonging and identity. Communication patterns were dominated by casual, slang-filled interactions, with academic discourse used primarily in formal contexts. Peer groups emerged as linguistic communities, subtly shaping pronunciation, lexical choice, and register through daily interactions. These findings contribute to sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic discussions on language variation, highlighting how peer social environments function as powerful spaces of linguistic adaptation and identity negotiation among EFL students. The study also emphasizes that language adaptation within peer groups is not merely linguistic, but also a reflection of emotional bonding and shared values. Understanding this process helps illustrate how English learning becomes a social practice shaped by identity, community, and belonging.
