Abstract

This paper focused on analyzing Grice’s maxim as stated in Levinson’s Pragmatics between sellers' and buyers’ conversations during buying and selling activity at the Sasak traditional market in Praya City. The data was collected by recording the speech event using a digital voice recorder and then transcribing the utterances literally. The analysis is done by the pragmatic identity method, then the result is presented using the informal method. The findings reveal 83 instances demonstrated the fulfillment of maxims and 25 exhibited the flouting of maxims. Importantly, participants tended to adhere to maxims more often than deviate from them. Overall, the research indicates adherence to cooperative principles by the speech participants from both the sellers and the buyers to state what they mean clearly and briefly so the conversation flows smoothly. But they also flout the cooperative principles to indirectly send their meaning of utterances. Any utterance they deliver is based on the psychological process that follows principles of normative, behavioral, motivational, and cognitive.

Abstract

The principles of CLT align with the evolving needs of EFL learners. They address the demand for functional language skills that go beyond rote memorization and passive learning. Moreover, as language is generally seen as a tool for communication rather than a set of strict rules, CLT emphasizes interaction, authenticity, and real-world language use within the learning process. Through qualitative research design, the study aims to gain profound insights into the nuances of CLT application within this educational context. The primary participant is an experienced English teacher at an Islamic Elementary School in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia. She was chosen for her extensive background in CLT and teaching experience. The instruments for data collection include classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with the teacher, aiming to understand the challenges, successes, and strategies employed in integrating CLT principles. As a result, CLT integrates mechanical, meaningful, and communicative practices, fostering language proficiency through active engagement in authentic communication scenarios. At the school, CLT methodologies are employed to create dynamic learning experiences tailored to students' needs, nurturing enthusiasm and fluency in English.

Abstract

This current research intends to identify and explain the forms of speech acts produced by the teacher in a learning video published on a YouTube channel. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method to respond to the problems studied. The findings indicate that among the various speech acts used, directive speech acts are more produced by the teacher in the video. It can be concluded from the results that 26 utterances produced by the teacher (25.2%) belong to representative speech acts, 52 utterances (50.5%) to directive speech acts, 2 utterances (2%) to commissive speech acts, 23 utterances (22.3%) to expressive speech acts. Directives are mostly produced by teachers inside the classroom while asking and questioning and become the most dominant directive speech acts produced by the teacher. It may happen because, in the learning video, the teacher gives students the opportunity to study a problem and try to solve the problem independently.

Abstract

Student perceptions are very important to educators. Student perceptions lie in how students interpret their educational experiences. Perceptions are shaped by individual experiences, backgrounds and learning styles. AI is becoming increasingly common in many industries, including education, as technology advances. AI is used in education to provide learning content that suits the needs of students. One of them is Gemini. Gemini is a large language model created by Google AI.  Gemini is an AI tool that can answer questions in an informative way, even when the questions are open-ended, challenging, or strange. The purpose of this research is to see students' perceptions of the use of AI technology, namely Gemini, as an auxiliary tool in the English Writing process. This research is a qualitative research. This study used the semi-structured interview method, where there are main questions and follow-up questions, where the follow-up questions will be based on the answers to the main questions given at the beginning. This study involved 9 EFL students out of 30 students who had been selected. Most students already have their own AI technology applications, so they think they are reluctant to adapt to AI technology applications like Gemini. But on the other hand, Gemini has many features that are very helpful in the writing process. Although for now students prefer AI technology applications that they have used before compared to Gemini, but when viewed from the perceptions given by students, researchers believe Gemini will be used as a writing tool in the future. This research can provide another option for students to facilitate the writing process so that they do not depend on the AI technology applications they have used before.

Abstract

In the ever-evolving landscape of language education, technology propelled people toward new horizons, acting as the wind in their sails. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) stood at the helm of this digital voyage, reshaping how people acquired languages. When setting these targets, the researcher focused on considering the quality requirements of mobile applications, taking into account the perspectives of both users and instructors. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze students' and teachers' perceptions of MALL integration in teaching-learning practice. For this study, the researcher chose a descriptive qualitative approach. The researcher used a questionnaire and an interview to collect both quantitative and qualitative data perspectives. The researcher quantitatively presented the percentage data of the questionnaire, and qualitatively, an analysis of interview responses was conducted, obtained from three classes and a teacher from one of the Private Junior High Schools in Jakarta. In a quantitative data perspective, students demonstrated favorable ratings on measures of usefulness, ease of use, and satisfaction when utilizing MALL (Mobile-Assisted Language Learning) in their English classrooms, as indicated by responses collected through Google Forms. From a qualitative perspective, both teachers and students concurred that MALL held the potential for enhancing both soft and hard skills. It fostered learning focus and independent study, offered convenience through its availability anytime and anywhere, optimized battery and data consumption, and facilitated communication between students and teachers. The result was an expressed desire to utilize MALL in the future.

Abstract

This research aims to examine Bella Poarch's song "Build a Bitch" from a feminist stylistic point of view. This research is conducted using Sara Mills' feminist stylistics theory which consists of three levels as suggested by Mills in her book. The analysis is conducted using descriptive-qualitative methodology that involves collecting and analyzing data at the word level, analyzing at the phrase/sentence level, and analyzing at the discourse level, and relating it to gender issues. The findings show an advanced representation of traditional gender roles, specifically the narrative's objectification of women. The metaphorical employing of the phrases 'Barbie' and 'Ken' exposes gender biases along with judging social beauty standards and unacceptable gender roles assigned to women. The song arises as a critique of traditional gender norms, combining with feminist stylistic elements by questioning and disputing society demands on women. The song navigates relationships complexities and society expectations critically, providing the speaker to stand against standards and fight for self-love.
