Abstract

This article provides a qualitative examination of conversational repair in an Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom, focusing on how gender differences in initiating repair strategies are indicative of the EFL learners’ interactional competence (IC). Based on data from a case study approach involving ten adult students, five male and five female students, in an English course class, the article contributes to an in-depth insight into how male and female students handle communication problems. The results show that there are patterns: female students tend to utilize “weaker” or less specific repair initiators, suggesting a pragmatic orientation to politeness, as well as a collaborative approach to the identification of problems. In contrast, male students mainly employ "stronger" and more direct techniques, including a higher frequency of direct "correction”, hinting at a more assertive interactional style focusing on a prompt resolution of the detected issue. According to the findings, gendered preferences of repair initiations have some direct implications for various aspects of interactional competence, both of learning the language itself and of dealing with the pragmatic dimensions of talk. The findings have important implications for EFL pedagogy regarding the groundwork of explicit instruction on different types of repair strategies and gendered communicative styles to promote more equitable and effective classroom interactions and greater interactional competence in general.

Abstract

Sustainable economic development that maintains environmental balance is a top priority in Indonesia’s national development planning. One of the key indicators to measure this sustainability is the Green Economy Index (GEI). The Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) assesses green economic development using 15 indicators across three pillars: economic, social, and environmental. This study aims to cluster Indonesian provinces based on the GEI. The clustering methods used include partition-based approaches (K-Means, K-Medoids), hierarchical (\textit{agglomerative clustering}), and density-based (OPTICS), with evaluation based on internal validity and stability. The results show that the hierarchical \textit{average linkage} method provides the most optimal clustering performance, dividing provinces into three main groups. Each cluster reflects different GEI characteristics, highlighting disparities in green development achievements across regions. Cluster 1 consists of one province with high economic scores but very low environmental scores; Cluster 2 includes five provinces strong in environmental performance but weak economically; and Cluster 3 contains 32 provinces with diverse characteristics in green economic practices. These findings are expected to support more targeted and region-specific policy formulation to promote equitable green economic development.
