Abstract

This paper aims to explore my experience as an English teacher and an English learner who is struggling to improve English proficiency in spoken and written communication. This study uses an autoethnographic approach to reconstruct barriers in learning English as well as how the English language helped the researcher to grow better as a teacher candidate. I present my teaching journey experience as pieces of information for this investigation. My teaching journey at various levels of education and in different conditions has formed a new self-identity in viewing and learning, which contributes to my English language skills. The study highlights three key findings: (1) self-awareness of English proficiency development, which examines my evolving understanding of my linguistic strengths and weaknesses; (2) experiential learning through teaching practices, which demonstrates how the act of teaching fosters deeper language acquisition; and (3) critical turning points in English language acquisition, which identifies pivotal moments that significantly influenced the progress of acquiring the language. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of experiential learning and reflective teaching practices for English language educators. Limitations and suggestions are also addressed in this study.

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.
