Abstract

This study investigates the Willingness to Communicate (WTC) among Indonesian master's students in an English Education program, addressing a significant gap in the literature that has traditionally focused on high school and undergraduate levels. Understanding WTC at the graduate level is crucial, as these students are often expected to demonstrate advanced language skills and effective communication in professional contexts. By focusing on graduate students, this research aims to explore the level of WTC among Indonesian master’s students majoring in English education and the factors that influence it.  Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from students at a public university in East Java using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews.  Findings reveal that these students exhibit a high level of WTC, largely driven by self-confidence, low anxiety, and strong motivation. The study highlights the significant role of early language learning experiences and supportive learning environments in shaping WTC. Despite its contributions, limitations include a small sample size and a short data collection period, which may impact the generalizability. The implications of this research suggest the need for more tailored pedagogical strategies that enhance communicative confidence in advanced language learners, with recommendations for future research focusing on larger, longitudinal studies.

Abstract

The use of social media in human life recently is such normal direct interaction including in English language teaching. Politeness strategies are essential in social communication to keep convenient connections. This study aims to examine how politeness strategies are used in increasingly complex situations, combining social media and the pedagogical context of multiple members’ character, specifically in an EFL class WhatsApp group, and note any effects on students’ language acquisition. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a precisely descriptive case study procedure. The data in this study consists of the last two months’ WhatsApp group chats centered on English learning, specifically examining the usage of politeness methods as well as the results of a focused group discussion (FGD) involving six English as a Foreign Language (EFL) randomly selected students who are members of the WhatsApp group. The result shows that students use positive and negative politeness strategies during the WhatsApp conversation. It enhances their English language learning motivation, critical thinking skills, vocabulary enrichment, writing improvement, and raising awareness of English grammar skills. Therefore, applying politeness strategies in WhatsApp instructional conversations is advantageous in preventing the failure of effective communication during the learning process.
