Abstract

Despite growing interest in digital communication and pragmatic development, limited research has examined how everyday family WhatsApp interactions contribute to EFL learners’ sociolinguistic growth. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates how humor, politeness, and intimacy shape learners’ communicative development in home-based digital environments. Employing a qualitative, micro-longitudinal ethnographic design, the study involved three EFL learners who regularly interacted with siblings and parents through WhatsApp. Data were drawn from screenshots and exported chat logs, supported by field notes and reflexive journals documenting contextual details. Data analysis combined Thematic Analysis, Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, and sociopragmatic frameworks to trace patterns across six months. Results reveal clear developmental trajectories: blunt humor and unmitigated requests gradually declined, while affiliative humor, indirect requests, supportive moves, and structured confirmation strategies increased. Intimacy emerged as a key factor mediating pragmatic flexibility, and digital affordances such as emojis and laughter tokens played an important role in meaning-making. These findings highlight the value of everyday digital communication as a rich environment for sociolinguistic development and suggest practical implications for EFL pedagogy, emphasizing the integration of naturalistic CMC-based activities in pragmatic instruction.

Abstract

In the increasingly digitalized era of higher education, digital academic communication spaces have become a primary arena for the formation of academic identity and legitimacy. Although studies on EFL communicative competence and digital pragmatics continue to grow, few studies have explored micro-longitudinally how lexico-pragmatic development contributes to the formation of academic relational positioning in digitally mediated academic interactions. This study aims to investigate the trajectory of this development in the context of EFL higher education. The study employed an ethnographically informed longitudinal qualitative inquiry design involving 12 students and 2 lecturers over one semester. Data in the form of authentic archives of digital interactions (WhatsApp groups and LMS) were collected through systematic archiving and analyzed using a theoretically informed qualitative analysis grounded in positioning theory and relational work. The results show a shift from formulaic minimalism to collocational alignment, an expansion of the lexico-pragmatic repertoire, and a more contextual and strategic relational orchestration stage. These findings confirm that the development of academic competence is not solely linguistic, but also relational and institutional. This study concludes that digitally mediated interaction is a crucial space for the process of academic discourse socialization in digitalized higher education.

Abstract

Studies on classroom silence have often explained student position through the perspectives of communication anxiety, linguistic limitations, or low participation. Readings that position silence as a culturally negotiated communication practice in intercultural classroom communication are still relatively limited. This study aims to explore how students interpret silence and how cultural identity shapes their participation in cross-cultural classroom interactions. This study used a Classroom Ethnography approach, involving 22 students in a single college class, with 10 focal participants for in-depth exploration. Data were collected through classroom observations, field notes, audio-video recordings, stimulated recall interviews, ethnographic interviews, and student reflective narratives. Data were analyzed using iterative interpretive analysis through the identification of critical interactional episodes, ethnographic coding, constant comparative analysis, and the development of ethnographic themes. The findings indicate that silence functions as face protection, linguistic self-monitoring, hierarchical navigation, cultural discipline, and selective participation. This study concludes that silence is not an absence of participation, but rather a culturally negotiated participation that reflects the negotiation of identity, social risks, and communication norms in academic spaces.

Abstract

Research in intercultural communication is still limited in examining how Islamic identity is negotiated in English-mediated academic interactions, particularly in digital academic spaces fraught with power relations. This study aims to explore how Islamic and cultural identities are negotiated through discursive practices, strategic visibility, and the dynamics of belonging and difference. Using a Digital Ethnography approach, this study involved 12 English Language Education postgraduate students. Data were collected through online class interactions, discussion forums, chat logs, and in-depth interviews, and analyzed iteratively through coding, thematic analysis, and discourse-oriented interpretation. The results show that identity is produced through discursive performance, negotiated through strategic visibility and silence, and structured by power relations that influence the legitimacy of expression. Furthermore, identity is also experienced through the dynamics of belonging and difference in digital academic spaces. This study concludes that identity negotiation is a multi-layered process mediated by language, constrained by academic norms, and experienced relationally. This study contributes to the development of identity negotiation in intercultural communication and offers implications for more reflective and inclusive digital academic practices.

Abstract

Indonesian Language is playing a crucial role as a unifying tool and the official language for government communications as stated at Article 36 of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia. However, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) designates six official languages: French, English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese, to facilitate communication among its 193 member states. This study employs a qualitative design, utilizing document analysis and interviews to explore the potential strategies for improving English language proficiency in the aviation sector. The results indicate that to enhance English proficiency among aviation personnel in Indonesia, tailored ESP Programs, simulation-based training, regular assessments, and blended learning approaches should be implemented. Collaborations with international organizations and support from the government will further ensure alignment with ICAO standards, fostering effective communication in critical situations. The discussion highlights the importance of English proficiency at Indonesian airports for providing directions and services, in compliance with Indonesia's ratification of ICAO's six languages. This study recommends some potential strategies to strengthening English language education in Indonesia's aviation sector to support effective international communication and enhance service quality at airports, aligning with ICAO standards.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines how intercultural reflection journals can support the development of students’ intercultural awareness in academic speaking classes. Methodology: Using an Ethnographic Classroom Study design, the research involved 18 EFL students at a private university. Data were gathered from intercultural reflection journals, classroom observations, audio recordings, and semi-structured interviews, then examined through thematic analysis using coding, categorisation, and theme development. Main Findings: The findings show that intercultural awareness develops gradually, moving from surface awareness toward deeper reflection. This process is shaped by classroom interaction and moments of tension, including discomfort and ambiguity. Novelty/Originality of this study: The development is neither linear nor uniform across students. The study suggests that intercultural reflection journals are most effective when embedded in pedagogical practices that encourage dialogue, critical reflection, and meaning negotiation.

Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to implement Local Culture-Based Bilingual Storynomics Tourism to strengthen global literacy and bilingual narrative competence among non-school adolescents in Ara Tourism Village, Bontobahari District, Bulukumba Regency. The program adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework involving 15 participants through four stages: diagnostic cultural mapping, co-design of bilingual tourism narratives, experiential simulation through role-play activities, and reflective evaluation. Pre-intervention assessment indicated a low overall literacy score of 2.1 on a four-point scale, reflecting limited communicative confidence and narrative coherence in English. Following the intervention, the average score increased to 3.2, representing a measurable improvement of approximately 52% across assessed indicators. Improvements were observed in communicative confidence, narrative structure, and the integration of local cultural elements into tourism storytelling. All participants were able to incorporate elements of local maritime heritage into simple bilingual narratives. These findings suggest that integrating local culture with participatory bilingual storytelling practices can support the development of communicative competence and strengthen youth engagement in community-based tourism.

Abstract

Although Emotional Intelligence (EI) is often associated with communication success, EFL studies tend to position it as an individual psychological attribute and have not yet explored its affective dimension in the process of intercultural growth. This research aims to reconstruct EI as a relational practice in EFL public speaking classes. The study used an ethnographic approach based on an interpretivist paradigm, involving 24 EFL students at a private university. Data were collected over one semester through participant observation, video recordings of presentations, peer feedback sessions, reflective journals, and field notes. Analysis was conducted abductively and iteratively, combining open coding, micro-ethnography of interaction, and theoretical coding. The findings indicate that speech anxiety, embodied confidence, interactional empathy, and negotiation of cultural voice form a relational ecology of affect that fosters intercultural becoming. EI does not emerge as a stable competency, but rather as a situated and co-constructed affective practice. This study concludes that EFL public speaking is an arena for intercultural transformation rooted in emotional engagement rather than merely rhetorical mastery.
