Abstract

English as a compulsory subject in university means that students from various majors are mandated to take English as one of their subjects in university. This research aims to investigate students perceptions toward the teaching of English as a compulsory subject at University. Despite many research have been conducted related to the subject, it seems salient to shed some light on this area especially due to the importance of mastery of the English language these days. The result of the research showed that students have a positive attitude toward the teaching of the English language as a compulsory subject. One of the most important discoveries lies in the students being motivated when the English being taught is closely related to their major. Last but not the least, due to some limitation of the studies suggestion for further research is expected.Keywords: perception, teaching, Compulsory subject

Abstract

Refusal often ends in misunderstanding and even anger, so people organize and maintain their refusal to avoid face threats. The people of Surabaya use the native Surabaya language, which is known as an open and blunt language, so a rejection strategy is assumed similar to this characteristic. This thesis aims to analyze what types of refusal strategies of native Surabaya young people use and how they use them in English. It examines how respondents refused invitation, request, offer or suggestion in various situations. This is a qualitative study with 21 native Surabaya young people, the EFL learners completing a Written Discourse Completion Test or WDCT, which contains several scenarios based on power and social distance. Data were analyzed using SPSS and the results showed that although the respondents came from Surabaya, which is known for its outspoken speaking style, in fact only 12.6% respondents used the direct refusal strategy, conversely most respondents used indirect refusal strategy (79.7%)  in expressing their rejection, while the least used strategy was Adjunct (7.7%). The respondents continued to use the indirect refusal strategies, even though they had more power and less closeness or have the equal power and closeness to the interlocutors.
