Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the strategies used by English teachers in implementing learning during online classes. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach through interviews. The participants in this study were 2 English teachers from Makassar National Vocational School. The data in this study were obtained through 3 parts of interviews with a total of ten questions. The findings show that the strategies used by English teachers in implementing learning during online classes are diagnostic assessment and discovery learning using several applications including WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Classroom, YouTube, Google Forms, and the Google search engine. Teachers used several other strategies involving peer tutoring, using school facilities, implementing synchronous online learning, and parental counseling to overcome challenges. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers to continue to use or apply a combination of strategies that they have implemented. In addition, because there are also several strategies discussed in this study, readers of this study, especially teachers, can also use other strategies and technologies to increase the variety of their learning activities. Finally, during the observation of the application of discovery learning, the teacher used it to recount text materials with a combination of writing and speaking projects. It has the potential to be used differently in different material focuses and skills. So, it is also suggested that future researchers be more specific with certain aspects of teaching English such as language skills, or certain materials to enrich data related to that field.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the strategies used by the teachers as well as the challenges they face in implementing the teaching and learning activities during online classes. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach through interviews. The participants in this study were 2 English teachers from SMK Nasional Makassar. The data in this study were obtained through 3 parts of interviews with a total of ten questions. The findings show that the strategies used by English teachers in implementing learning during online classes are diagnostic assessment and discovery learning using several applications, including WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Classroom, YouTube, Google Forms, and the Google search engine. The teachers also used several other strategies involving peer tutoring, using school facilities, implementing synchronous online learning, and parental counselling to overcome challenges. Meanwhile, their challenges are lack of access to technology, parental support, social influence, and student interest. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers to continue to use or apply a combination of strategies that they have implemented. In addition, because there are several other strategies discussed in this study, readers, especially teachers, can also use other strategies and technologies to increase the variety of their learning activities. Finally, during the observation of the application of discovery learning, the teacher used it to recount text materials with a combination of writing and speaking projects.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of politeness and impoliteness strategies in character interaction in the novel All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. The main issue addressed is how various forms of politeness and impoliteness are employed by the main characters and how these reflect their psychological states and social dynamics. This research applies a qualitative approach with a pragmatic analysis method, specifically drawing on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and Culpeper’s impoliteness framework. The data were taken from selected dialogues in the novel that illustrate expressions of polite and impolite language. The findings reveal that politeness tends to appear in conversations that express empathy, emotional support, and attempts to build closeness, while impoliteness is more prominent in contexts of internal conflict, psychological distress, or a desire for social distance. These language strategies play a crucial role in character development and reinforce the novel’s central themes of mental health and interpersonal relationships.
