Abstract

This study investigates the English language competence of students enrolled in the Sailing Bali Cruise Line and Hospitality program, with a particular focus on their use of grammatical cohesion based on the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Drawing on Halliday and Hasan’s theory of grammatical cohesion, the research analyzes students' written texts in which they were asked to articulate their reasons for choosing to study at The Sailing Bali. Employing a qualitative research design informed by grounded theory, this study aims to contribute to the development of SFL in the context of English language education for vocational purposes. The analysis reveals that students demonstrated limited use of cohesive devices, particularly in the category of conjunctions. Their writing frequently employed elaboration conjunctions such as first, second, third, and fourth to list reasons for pursuing careers in the cruise line industry. Personal reference—specifically speaker roles such as I, me, and my—was dominant, reflecting students’ personal motivations. Notably, substitution and ellipsis were absent across all texts analyzed. Two major findings emerged: (i) students predominantly used simple clauses, indicating limited syntactic complexity; and (ii) their English proficiency appeared to align with the basic communicative demands of cruise line employment. This research offers pedagogical implications for English language teaching, particularly in the domains of semantics and discourse analysis. It also highlights the potential for SFL to be applied in vocational language education and encourages further research in this area. Moreover, the findings provide valuable input for The Sailing Bali in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of its language training programs.

Abstract

In an increasingly widespread digital age, the practice of speaking English on social media has become one of the most striking cultural imprints. This phenomenon is not just a form of communication, but also a powerful representation of cultural identity in today's global society. This research aims to dig deeper into the cultural footprints manifested in English-speaking practices on social media, focusing on the representation of cultural identity. This study uses a qualitative approach by analyzing case examples from social media such as Instagram, Twitter, and online discussion forums. The results in this study state that the practice of speaking English on social media reflects the complexity and diversity of cultural identities in today's global society. The use of English is not only as a means of communication, but also as a medium to convey individual and collective cultural identity. Factors such as an individual's cultural context, social media platforms, demographic factors, globalization, and power dynamics play an important role in shaping the way English is used and interpreted as a representation of cultural identity. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the dynamics of language and culture in this digital age is important to promote appreciation of cultural diversity, as well as to build bridges of understanding and dialogue between different cultural groups
