Abstract

This study investigates the language styles employed by lecturers at the State Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar during classroom interactions, focusing on their implications for the teaching and learning process. Using a qualitative research design grounded in classroom discourse analysis, the study employs a postpositivist approach to explore the nuanced communication dynamics between lecturers and students. Data were collected through observations, document reviews, and audio-visual recordings and analyzed using the Interactive Model of Data Analysis by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings reveal the absence of the frozen style, typically associated with ceremonial contexts, in classroom settings. Instead, four language styles were identified: formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The formal style was the most prevalent, used by five lecturers to maintain structure and professionalism. The consultative style, observed in four lecturers, fostered dialogue and collaboration, while the casual style, used by three lecturers, facilitated a relaxed and approachable classroom atmosphere. The intimate style, employed by one lecturer, highlighted its role in building personal connections and providing individualized support. These findings underscore the critical role of language styles in shaping classroom interactions and enhancing student engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of linguistic adaptability and cultural sensitivity in teaching, providing practical implications for teacher training and pedagogical practices. By strategically employing diverse language styles, educators can create dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments. Future research should explore student perspectives and cross-cultural variations in language styles to broaden the understanding of their impact on education.

Abstract

This study analyzes the function of declarative sentences in constructing emotional narratives within the lyrics of "August" by Taylor Swift. This study exploits a descriptive qualitative methodology with a discourse analysis approach to inspect the implication of declarative structures in showing profound emotional themes such as longing, loss, regret, and unrequited love, transcending their grammatical function. Unlike interrogative or imperative forms, declarative sentences within the song express personal veracity and emotional reflections, allowing listeners to connect with the narrative as an array of introspective memories. This study classifies declarative sentences into five functional categories: descriptive, reflective, situational, conclusive, and existential, each enhancing dissimilar aspects of narrative and emotional resonance. The results expose that declarative sentences present as appliances for transmitting information and as rhetorical tools that enhance emotional closeness between the narrator and the audience. Taylor Swift's lyrics design a poetic monologue that captivates listeners, intertwining personal narrative with universal emotional depth. The research prior discourse analysis, stylistics, and popular music studies by illustrating how grammatical structure can impart huge emotional and narrative meaning in contemporary songwriting.

Abstract

This study investigates the English language needs of students enrolled in the Room Division program at the Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar, Indonesia. Recognizing English as a critical skill in the hospitality sector especially in guest-facing roles, this research aims to assess whether the current English course aligns with the communicative demands of the workplace. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were gathered through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 39 students, while qualitative insights were collected via semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected participants. Statistical analysis revealed that students perceived English as highly relevant to their future careers, particularly in speaking and customer service contexts. However, they also expressed a need for more interactive learning, including simulations, role-plays, and authentic materials. Thematic analysis of the interview data confirmed that students found the course lacking in real-world communication practice and contextualized vocabulary. Grounded in ESP theory, this study identifies gaps between the current curriculum and the specific language tasks expected in hotel operations. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring English instruction to meet learners’ professional goals and suggest the integration of task-based, industry-relevant activities. Recommendations are provided for curriculum developers, instructors, and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of ESP instruction in vocational hospitality education.
