Abstract

Politeness is an essential aspect of pragmatic competence that enables learners to use language appropriately in different social contexts. While previous studies have primarily focused on politeness strategies in classroom-based teacher–student interactions, research on politeness within digital learning environments for children remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the use of politeness strategies in children’s English learning media through the VOA learning English (Let’s Learn English - Level 1 series), with particular attention to their functions in supporting instructional interaction in a digital learning context. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using a pragmatic analysis framework grounded in politeness theory. Spoken utterances were transcribed, categorized into the four types of politeness strategies, and interpreted in terms of their contextual meanings. The findings indicate that all four politeness strategies are present in the videos, with positive politeness being the most dominant, followed by bald on-record, negative politeness, and off-record strategies. The frequent use of positive politeness reflects the instructor’s efforts to foster closeness, encouragement, and emotional support, which support children’s motivation and confidence in learning English. Although this study is limited to beginner-level VOA episodes, it demonstrates that politeness strategies in digital media can model social communication skills. Practically, integrating pragmatic elements into multimedia language instruction can enhance character building and polite communication behaviors. Future research could explore politeness strategies in other digital learning platforms, learners at intermediate and advanced levels of English proficiency, or cross-cultural contexts to further investigate pragmatic competence in online language education.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has not been matched by sufficient research on how pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers perceive the use of AI for developing instructional modules. This study explores these perceptions among pre-service EFL teachers from three universities in Indonesia who already have experience using AI. Most participants were female, in the final stage of their studies, and enrolled in a micro-teaching course. A survey was administered using an online questionnaire to investigate the practices and experiences of AI among pre-service teachers and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The findings show that the pre-service teachers were enthusiastic yet cautious in using AI. Many used AI regularly, while others used it occasionally. They perceived clear benefits of AI, particularly in generating ideas, improving efficiency, and enhancing the quality of learning materials. AI was most commonly used to design lesson topics, develop content, and create test items. However, several challenges were identified, including plagiarism risks, inconsistent AI-generated outputs, and concerns about overreliance on AI. ChatGPT was the most frequently used tool, and participants expressed interest in more adaptive features that tailor content to students’ needs. The study recommends that AI use in teacher education be guided by instructors, with limited use in student assignments to maintain ethical standards and critical thinking skills. These findings provide valuable insights into AI literacy and pedagogical AI applications, contributing to the development of AI-adaptive teacher education curricula.
