Abstract

This study examines the politeness strategies used by aviation staff when interacting with passengers at critical service points. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a relational pragmatic approach, data were collected from purposively selected YouTube videos showing interactions at immigration, security, and check-in counters. The videos were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory, Searle’s speech act classification, and Locher and Watts’ relational work framework. The analysis focused on identifying interaction units, classifying speech acts, and examining politeness strategies and relational work. The findings show that aviation staff combine positive politeness (greetings, empathy), negative politeness (indirect requests, modals, hedges), and bald-on-record strategies (direct instructions) to balance institutional demands with interpersonal rapport. These strategies enhance passenger comfort, procedural clarity, and professional service identity. The study contributes to contextual pragmatics and provides practical guidance for developing culturally sensitive communication in aviation services. AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji strategi kesantunan yang digunakan staf penerbangan dalam berinteraksi dengan penumpang pada titik layanan kritis. Menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan pragmatik relasional, data diperoleh dari video YouTube yang dipilih secara purposif yang menampilkan interaksi di bagian imigrasi, keamanan, dan check-in. Video ditranskripsi secara verbatim dan dianalisis menggunakan teori kesantunan Brown dan Levinson, klasifikasi tindak tutur Searle, serta kerangka kerja relasional Locher dan Watts. Analisis dilakukan melalui identifikasi unit interaksi, klasifikasi tindak tutur, dan pemeriksaan strategi kesantunan serta kerja relasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa staf penerbangan memadukan strategi kesantunan positif (sapaan, empati), kesantunan negatif (permintaan tidak langsung, modal, peredam), dan strategi langsung (instruksi tegas) untuk menyeimbangkan tuntutan institusional dengan hubungan interpersonal. Strategi tersebut meningkatkan kenyamanan penumpang, kejelasan prosedur, dan citra layanan profesional. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada kajian pragmatik kontekstual dan memberikan panduan komunikasi sensitif budaya dalam layanan penerbangan.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the significant effect of the Duolingo application in teaching English vocabulary, i.e., to find out whether students who are taught using the Duolingo application have better achievement compared to students who are not taught using the Duolingo application. This research used a quasi-experimental design and the test as the research instrument. This research was conducted on the second-year students of SMPN Langke Rembong in the 2022-2023 school year, with a total sample of 58 students and using purposive sampling to determine the sample. Based on the data analysis results, the experimental and control groups had different mean scores. While the experimental group obtained a mean score of 85.67, the control group had a mean score of 71.14. The mean score results concluded that the experimental group had a higher mean score than the mean score obtained by the control group. Furthermore, the hypothesis test results demonstrated that the null hypothesis (Ho), stating no significant difference in vocabulary scores or achievement between students who were taught by Duolingo applications and those who were not taught by Duolingo applications, was rejected. Meanwhile, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In other words, there is a significant difference in vocabulary scores or achievement between students who were taught by the Duolingo application and those who were not taught by the Duolingo application
