Abstract

This study aimed to examine the influence of linguistic politeness strategies on effective classroom interaction and student communication performance at Universitas Harapan Medan. The research employed a mixed-methods approach using a sequential explanatory design, integrating quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of linguistic politeness strategies in classroom learning. The research process consisted of preliminary observation, needs analysis, instrument development and validation, questionnaire administration, classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and statistical as well as thematic data analysis. Based on the illustrative simulated dataset, the findings indicate that the implementation of linguistic politeness strategies contributes positively to the development of more effective classroom interaction and improved student communication performance. Lecturers' use of positive politeness strategies promotes a respectful, collaborative, and supportive learning environment, encouraging students to participate actively, express ideas confidently, and engage in meaningful academic discussions. The simulated structural model further suggests that effective classroom interaction functions as a mediating variable that strengthens the relationship between linguistic politeness strategies and student communication performance. These illustrative findings highlight the potential value of integrating pragmatic politeness principles into higher education teaching practices to enhance instructional communication and foster student-centered learning. Future research should employ empirical data from multiple higher education institutions to validate these relationships and improve the generalizability of the findings.

Abstract

The increasing use of English in international business has made effective written communication an essential component of professional interaction in the era of digital globalization. This study aimed to analyze the use of English in business correspondence among selected companies in Medan and examine its impact on professional communication effectiveness. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed to investigate eight authentic business correspondence documents collected from companies operating in various business sectors. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis focusing on five linguistic aspects: grammatical accuracy, vocabulary use, politeness strategies, organizational structure, and message clarity. The findings revealed that most business correspondence demonstrated good grammatical accuracy, appropriate business vocabulary, complete organizational structure, and consistent use of positive politeness strategies. Five of the eight documents were categorized as highly effective, while two were classified as effective and one as moderately effective. Although minor grammatical errors were identified in several documents, these inaccuracies did not significantly affect the overall communicative purpose because the messages remained clear and professionally organized. The study concludes that communication effectiveness in English business correspondence is influenced not only by grammatical competence but also by appropriate vocabulary, coherent organization, politeness strategies, and message clarity. These findings contribute to the development of Applied Linguistics and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by providing practical insights into authentic workplace communication and offering recommendations for improving Business English competence in professional settings.
