Abstract

This research aims to analyse the application of the maxim of politeness in Taulany TV vlogs, focusing on the episode featuring Ayu Ting Ting's house. The method used is qualitative content analysis of vlog videos by selecting relevant vlog samples and analysing conversation transcriptions to identify the application of the maxim of politeness. The results show that deviations from the maxim of quantity and maxim of relationship often occur when the speaker provides more information than necessary or makes statements that are not directly relevant to the previous discussion. This research provides new insights into the adaptation of the politeness maxim in the context of vlogs and emphasizes the importance of considering contextual factors in digital communication. It also contributes to the development of more effective and ethical communication theories.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the perceptions of teachers and 10th-grade students in senior high school on the use of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to improve English- speaking skills within the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Teachers observed that PBL effectively enhances student engagement, collaboration, and speaking confidence, though they noted challenges such as time constraints and varying English proficiency levels. Students reported that PjBL increased their confidence and motivation, as it allowed for self- expression and interactive learning. Classroom observations showed that PjBL promoted active student participation, with teachers facilitating and providing feedback on speaking skills. Document analysis highlighted improvements in students' creativity and vocabulary usage, despite occasional grammar issues. The study concludes that PBL, aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, fosters English-speaking skills and encourages active learning, though additional support is needed to address challenges in collaboration and classroom management.

Abstract

This research delves into the exploration of cooperation principles depicted in the animated film "My Little Pony: Dragonshy." Drawing upon the Cooperative Principle Theory proposed by linguist Paul Grice, which emphasizes the importance of communicative cooperation, the study investigates how the movie exemplifies these principles through conversation. Through qualitative analysis, the study identifies them into two types, namely the category of Non-Observance and the type of Maxim. In the category of Non-Observance, there are five, namely: Flouting a Maxim, Violating a Maxim, Opting Out a Maxim, Infringing a Maxim, and Suspending a Maxim. This category is mostly Violating a maxim. Then in the type of Maxim there are four, namely Maxim of Quality, Maxim of Quantity, Maxim of Relevance, and Maxim of Manner. The most common maxim violation observed is in the Maxim of Relevance. For the conversational implicature it is concluded that particularized is the most of the seven data results.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of teacher feedback to improve junior high school students' writing skills, focusing on common writing errors and the effectiveness of different types of feedback. English is a significant challenge for many Indonesian students, especially in grammar and syntax. Research using the Taxonomy of Surface Strategies (Dulay, Burt, & Krashen, 1982), established four main types of writing errors: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The study further examined teacher feedback by using Hattie and Timperley's (2007) model, which divides feedback into task, process, self-regulatory, and personal types. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and analysis of students' written documents. The main results of the study show that omission errors are the most common among students, followed by addition errors, information errors, and sequencing errors. Feedback from teachers, especially those focusing on task type and process, proved to be very effective in helping students correct errors and improve their writing skills. The study also found that feedback that encourages students' self-regulation can improve their ability to self-correct errors, while personalized feedback helps increase students' motivation. The implications of this study suggest that comprehensive feedback strategies, which include error correction as well as writing process support, are essential to be implemented in English language learning in junior high schools in Indonesia, in order to sustainably improve students' writing skills.

Abstract

This study investigates ChatGPT’s capacity to address fossilized grammatical errors in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ academic writing. Through a mixed-methods design, a controlled corpus of 500 hypothetical sentences containing persistent error types, such as verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and non-idiomatic expressions, was submitted to ChatGPT-4. Quantitative analysis evaluated correction accuracy using standard metrics (precision, recall, F-score), while qualitative content analysis assessed the pedagogical appropriateness and consistency of ChatGPT’s feedback. Results showed high accuracy in correcting rule-based structures (e.g., subject-verb agreement), but significantly lower performance for context-sensitive and fossilized errors. While ChatGPT often provided clear corrections, its feedback frequently lacked explanatory depth, contextual sensitivity, and scaffolding necessary for promoting learner noticing and long-term acquisition. These findings suggest that although ChatGPT can effectively support surface-level proofreading, it cannot fully substitute the role of human instructors in addressing deeply ingrained L2 errors. The study emphasizes the importance of explainable AI, AI literacy, and hybrid instructional models that combine technological efficiency with pedagogical intentionality. It offers implications for educators, curriculum developers, and AI tool designers seeking to integrate language models into second language acquisition contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic failures found in EFL learners’ academic email communication and evaluates the extent to which AI grammar tools can detect and address such failures. Drawing on theories of interlanguage pragmatics and politeness, the research identifies recurring issues in the realization of requests, apologies, and formal politeness—where learners often produce grammatically correct yet pragmatically inappropriate messages. These failures commonly stem from first-language pragmatic transfer and a lack of explicit instruction in target language norms. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzed a corpus of 640 elicited emails from 80 EFL university students and assessed feedback from Grammarly, Quillbot, and ChatGPT using comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis. While the tools effectively corrected surface-level errors, they fell short in addressing context-sensitive pragmatic nuances such as indirectness, tone, and formality. The findings underscore the distinction between linguistic and pragmatic competence, highlight the limitations of current AI tools in fostering pragmatic awareness, and emphasize the need for explicit, context-rich instruction. This study contributes to a more integrated understanding of how human expertise and AI technologies can collaboratively support pragmatic development in digital language learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores the lived experiences of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners engaging with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to support their academic writing development. Using a narrative inquiry approach, the research investigates how learners describe their interactions with AI technologies such as ChatGPT and Grammarly, and what challenges and opportunities they perceive. Eighteen university-level EFL students participated in in-depth interviews, revealing that AI tools are widely appreciated for enhancing linguistic accuracy, improving efficiency, boosting writing confidence, and supporting idea generation. These benefits align with the Technology Acceptance Model and Sociocultural Theory, suggesting that AI acts as both a facilitator of ease and a scaffold within learners’ Zones of Proximal Development. However, the findings also highlight substantial concerns related to academic integrity, over-reliance, and AI’s limitations in generating culturally nuanced or critically engaging content. This duality reflects the "Paradox of Assistance," where the same features that make AI valuable can also inhibit deeper learning if uncritically used. The study emphasizes the need for intentional, pedagogically guided integration of AI in EFL writing instruction, promoting a balanced Human-AI collaboration that empowers learners as autonomous and reflective writers.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of discourse markers (DMs) by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in YouTube comments on academic-related videos. Drawing on Fraser’s typology, the research explores the types of DMs most frequently used and how learners employ them to structure arguments, express stance, and maintain coherence in informal academic English. A total of 300 learner comments, some from the same users, were collected from ten academic YouTube videos and analysed through qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that learners primarily used contrastive, elaborative, and inferential discourse markers such as but, also, and therefore to organize ideas and express reasoning. Stance-related markers like I think and actually were also prevalent, signaling learners' personal evaluations. Additionally, elaborative markers contributed to textual flow and coherence. These patterns indicate that EFL learners are able to apply academic discourse strategies within informal digital contexts, demonstrating emerging discourse competence and pragmatic awareness. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of digital platforms like YouTube as spaces for meaningful language use and suggests incorporating informal online texts into language teaching practices.

Abstract

This study explores EFL learners’ perceptions of two widely used digital language learning platforms: Duolingo and BBC Learning English. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the research investigates how learners evaluate the platforms in terms of effectiveness, engagement, and usability, as well as their perceived strengths and limitations in developing specific English language skills. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten EFL learners who had experience using both platforms. Thematic analysis revealed that Duolingo was favored for vocabulary and grammar practice due to its gamified and user-friendly design, while BBC Learning English was perceived as more effective for listening comprehension and exposure to authentic language. Learners reported using both platforms strategically, depending on their individual learning goals. The findings highlight the complementary nature of these tools and the importance of aligning digital resources with learners’ preferences and skill development needs. This study contributes to the growing body of research on educational technology in language learning and offers practical implications for educators and developers.
