Abstract

Pragmatic competence—the ability to use language appropriately in social contexts—is essential for effective EFL communication but often underemphasized in teacher education. This study examines the impact of speech act-based instruction on developing pre-service English teachers’ pragmatic competence. Participants included 20 second-year students enrolled in the English Education program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon. Over four weeks, they attended two 90-minute instructional sessions per week, integrating explicit instruction, role-plays, discourse analysis, and reflective discussions. Multiple instruments were employed: a 30-item pragmatic competence test (combining situational multiple-choice and open-ended tasks), classroom observations, and post-instruction interviews. Quantitative results revealed statistically significant improvements across all levels of speech acts: locutionary (M = 0.437 to 0.5665, p < .001), illocutionary (M = 0.535 to 0.6105, p < .001), and perlocutionary (M = 0.5295 to 0.5565, p < .001). Qualitative findings highlighted increased pragmatic awareness, communicative confidence, and in-class adaptability. However, participants still faced challenges in transferring theoretical knowledge into spontaneous speech, suggesting the need for extended, contextualized instruction. These findings affirm the value of structured pragmatic instruction in EFL teacher training, equipping future educators to model and foster linguistic accuracy and sociocultural fluency in global communication.

Abstract

Languages with extensive morphological systems offer valuable insights into how grammatical meanings are encoded through structural patterns, particularly in lesser-studied agglutinative languages where affixation plays a central role. This study offers an in-depth exploration of the morphological structure of the Talaud language, focusing on the vital role of affixes as indicators of aspect and mood. Understanding this complicated affixation system embraces significant importance in enriching knowledge of linguistic diversity, especially in agglutinative languages that often receive limited scholarly attention. To address this gap, this research examines how morphological marking in Talaud functions not only as a structural mechanism but also as a key determinant of grammatical meaning, enabling a more precise understanding of verbal organization within the language. Through qualitative methodology, functional analysis tools were employed to investigate how even the smallest components within predicates contribute to grammatical meaning. Data collection involved engaging with native speakers through elicitation and comprehensive interviews, enabling access to authentic language use and the significance attributed to affixes in everyday communication. These procedures ensured that the study reflected naturally-occurring linguistic behavior and demonstrated how morphological forms operate within spoken discourse. Research findings reveal that affixes in Talaud consistently maintain sentence meaning, even when certain linguistic features are substituted, illustrating the stability and resilience of the language’s grammatical system, in which morphological processes preserve semantic integrity across structural variations. Identified categories include inceptive, progressive, perfective, and cessative aspects, along with imperative and optative moods, each realized through specific affixation patterns that encode temporal contours and modal attitudes within the predicate. These findings reflect how the affixation system in Austronesian languages governs grammatical meaning independently, ensuring functional stability across syntactic environments and revealing important typological parallels with other agglutinative systems. By elucidating the complexities of aspect and mood in Talaud, this study deepens understanding of its linguistic characteristics and underscores the importance of documenting underrepresented languages, ultimately contributing to a broader and more inclusive perspective on linguistic diversity and highlighting the cultural significance embedded within the Talaud language. Future research is encouraged to explore Talaud across broader discourse contexts and through sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and longitudinal perspectives in order to capture the interaction between grammatical structure, language use, and social change.

Abstract

Penelitian ini termotivasi oleh pembaharuan struktur bahasa Talaud dan mencoba untuk mengklasifikasi serta mendeskripsikan makna dari preposisi bahasa Talaud. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif. Datanya didapatkan dari informan yang merupakan penutur asli bahasa Talaud. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, ditemukan dua bentuk preposisi, yakni preposisi tunggal dan kompleks. Terdapat delapan preposisi tunggal yakni: su, wua, walla, ere, maoma, aloe, anawaugu, and marani, sedangkan kompleks yakni: su walla, wua doso, su saᴙinda, roso su, wowa su, su liu, su muka, su luare. Pada tataran makna, preposisi bahasa Talaud dapat menyatakan waktu, tempat, asal dan situasi. This research is motivated by the renewal of the Talaud language structure and aims to classify forms and describe meanings of preposition in Talaud Language. The research uses descriptive method. Source of the data is taken from the informants who were native speaker of the Talaud languge. Based on the result of research two preposition forms have been found, that are single and complex. There are eight single preposition in Talaud language: su, wua, walla, ere, maoma, aloe, anawaugu, and marani, while complex preposition is preposition that consist of more than one word, they are: su walla, wua doso, su saᴙinda, roso su, wowa su, su liu, su muka, su luare. In meaning, preposition in Talaud can can state time, place, origin, and situation. Preposition in Talaud language can be follow by noun, adjective, adverb of time and place, and it can be in the front or middle of sentences.
