Abstract

This research aims to develop an interactive grammar assessment tool utilizing the Socrative platform for eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Kota Kediri. The instruments used for data collection included a grammar test, validated by experts to ensure content validity, note taking for expert feedback. The Research and Development (R&D) method was employed, grounded in Borg and Gall’s (1983) model and Harris’s (1969) test construction approach, the study followed systematic phases including needs analysis, test design, expert validation, field testing, and item analysis, for its interactive and student-centered nature, which aligns with Deci and Ryan’s (2000) Self-Determination Theory. The developed test consisted of 25 multiple-choice grammar questions delivered via the Socrative platform. Validation results showed that 18 items (72%) were valid, meeting the threshold recommended by Crocker and Algina (2006) for early-stage field use. The reliability of the instrument was high, with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.882. Item analysis revealed that most items had acceptable discrimination power, while the difficulty index showed a predominance of easy items, indicating the need for more balanced test content. The interactive nature of the Socrative platform allows for immediate feedback, fostering student engagement and enhancing grammar comprehension. Additionally, the findings support the use of digital tools like Socrative to create valid, reliable, and engaging language assessments for EFL learners in secondary education.

Abstract

Misunderstandings often arise in stand-up comedy, leading to varied audience reactions. Since individuals come from diverse knowledge backgrounds, they must grasp the implicit meanings to fully understand the context of a comedian's speech. However, not all audience members can successfully interpret the context of the jokes. In stand-up comedy, comedians frequently violate the maxims of Grice's (1975) cooperative principle, which creates humor through implicature. This study focuses on analyzing the types and uses of implicature in Drew Lynch's American stand-up comedy performances. Using Grice's (1975) implicature theory, the research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected by listening to and transcribing performances to examine discourse aspects. The findings reveal how Drew Lynch uses implicature to share his opinions, experiences, and emotions humorously, making it easier for the audience to connect with his material. Additionally, the study highlights Lynch's use of lexical items, categorized as references, inferences, and presuppositions, to aid audience comprehension. The study encourages future researchers to delve into other dimensions of implicature, such as its social aspects, or explore its application in different mediums like movies or comics.
