Abstract

This study examines the use of speech acts in persuasive communication during presidential election debates by analyzing how locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts operate within political discourse and shape public responses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws data from official debate transcripts and audience reactions on platform X, focusing on how utterances function pragmatically and how audiences interpret or resist the intended messages. The analysis employs Austin’s and Searle’s speech act theory, supported by the felicity condition framework, to identify persuasive strategies embedded in assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative acts. Debate utterances were transcribed, categorized, and compared with public responses to determine whether the perlocutionary effects aligned with or diverged from the intended illocutionary force. Findings reveal a dominant use of assertive acts in shaping arguments and influencing public perception, although the degree of perlocutionary success varied across topics. Audience responses reveal that felicity conditions—particularly propositional content, sincerity, and essential conditions—play a crucial role in determining whether persuasive attempts succeed or result in misunderstanding, resistance, or rejection. Positive alignment between illocution and perlocution emerged when messages were perceived as credible and contextually grounded. In contrast, infelicities occurred when audiences doubted the intentions, accuracy, or feasibility of the claims presented. Overall, the study underscores the centrality of speech acts in shaping persuasive political discourse and demonstrates how public interpretation significantly impacts the effectiveness of persuasive communication in electoral contexts.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language learning, particularly Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), has made online machine translation (OMT) a common tool for EFL students. However, its impact on specific writing skills, such as grammatical accuracy, remains a subject of debate, with concerns about over-reliance and passive learning. This study aimed to empirically investigate the effect of using OMT as a CALL tool on the grammatical accuracy and vocabulary diversity in the writing of Indonesian EFL students. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 57 first-year EFL students, divided into an experimental group (n=30) that used OMT and a control group (n=27) that did not. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments and analysed using paired and independent t-tests. A supplementary survey provided qualitative insights into the students' experiences. The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in writing scores (mean pre-test=40.83, post-test=76.93; p < 0.001), far exceeding the minimal gain in the control group (mean pre-test=42.70, post-test=45.78). An independent t-test confirmed a significant difference between the groups post-intervention (t=18.004, p < 0.001). Qualitatively, while 80% of users reported proficiency with OMT, 40% noted challenges with contextual understanding. The use of OMT as a CALL tool significantly enhances EFL students' writing performance, particularly in grammatical accuracy. However, to mitigate over-reliance and maximize learning outcomes, educator guidance is crucial to ensure critical and autonomous use of this technology.

Abstract

This study was motivated by students' low self-confidence and English speaking skills, which were influenced by weak learning motivation and limited learning media that lacked variety. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an innovative solution through interactive applications that can function as personal practice companions. Preliminary study results from interviews with students at MA Model Zainul Hasan show that 75% of students have below-average speaking skills, which is caused by a lack of confidence and limited time for practice. This study aims to determine the effect of using AI as a practice companion on improving students' confidence and English speaking skills. The method used is pre-experimental with a one group pre-test and post-test design, involving 84 students as samples. The research instruments are confidence questionnaires and speaking skill assessments. The results of the analysis using the paired sample t-test showed a significant increase after the intervention: the average confidence increased from 58.95 to 67.08 (p = 0.000), and speaking skills increased from 55.67 to 66.17 (p = 0.000). These findings prove that the use of AI can significantly improve students' self-confidence and speaking skills. This study contributes to the use of technology in English language learning, particularly in developing students' speaking skills and self-confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates how the speech acts of request, refusal, and apology are realized across two culturally and linguistically distinct languages: English and Mandarin. Grounded in speech act theory and contemporary approaches to politeness and facework, the research examines how interactional norms, sociocultural values, and contextual expectations shape speakers’ pragmatic choices. While existing scholarship has extensively analyzed these speech acts individually, cross-cultural studies that integrate all three within a unified comparative framework remain limited. To address this gap, the present study employs a qualitative, discourse-based methodology incorporating naturally occurring spoken interactions, documentary and digital media data, and contextual commentaries. Conversation Analysis (CA) and thematic analysis are used to explore linguistic strategies, sequential organization, and culturally embedded meanings.Findings reveal systematic contrasts in directness, mitigation, sequencing, and face-management orientations. English speakers tend to favor explicit forms, efficient sequencing, and concise justification, reflecting low-context communication norms. Mandarin speakers employ greater indirectness, elaborate mitigation, relational alignment, and self-effacement, consistent with high-context communication and face-sensitive cultural orientations. However, patterns also vary by setting, social distance, power relations, and communicative medium, demonstrating that pragmatic behavior is shaped by both cultural tendencies and situational constraints.The study contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics by offering a comparative, multi-layered account of how requests, refusals, and apologies are constructed and negotiated in English and Mandarin. The findings have implications for intercultural communication, language pedagogy, and the development of pragmatic competence among speakers navigating bilingual or multilingual environments.
