Abstract

This study explores the violation of Grice’s Maxims in a sophomore online academic writing class and examines their implications for student–lecturer interaction dynamics. In the context of online learning, miscommunication is more likely due to the absence of physical cues and asynchronous communication patterns. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with one lecturer and three students selected via purposive sampling. Instances of maxim violations were identified and analyzed using thematic analysis based on Grice’s theoretical framework. The findings revealed that the most frequently violated maxims were Quantity and Manner, often due to vague, minimal, or hesitant student responses. Violations of Relevance and Quality also occurred, especially when responses were off-topic or lacked evidential support. Factors contributing to these violations included linguistic insecurity, abstract question formulation, technical disruptions, and limited non-verbal interaction. Interestingly, the lecturer sometimes intentionally flouted maxims to reduce student anxiety and facilitate participation. These findings highlight the complexity of digital communication and the importance of pragmatic awareness in virtual classrooms. The study underscores the need for adaptive pedagogical strategies that foster clarity, engagement, and mutual understanding. It also contributes to the broader discourse on online pragmatics by illustrating how maxim violations, while seemingly disruptive, can serve functional and pedagogical roles in shaping effective communication within digital academic environments.

Abstract

Comics are not only a medium for visual storytelling, but also rich in implicit meanings communicated through multimodal cues. This research explores how implicatures - unstated but implied meanings - are constructed through the visual expressions of the main characters in Detective Conan Volume 1. Using the Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MMDA) framework, this study investigates the interaction of semiotic modes such as gestures, gaze direction, facial expressions, and panel layout in selected scenes. Ten scenes were purposively selected based on the density of non-verbal cues and their narrative importance. A qualitative-descriptive method was used to analyze how these multimodal elements contribute to the construction of implicit meaning. The findings reveal that non-verbal modes often carry equal or greater communicative weight than verbal texts, especially in revealing characters' emotions and intentions. Visual cues-such as narrowed eyes or directed gaze-are often pragmatic indicators that invite readers to interpret meanings beyond what is explicitly stated. This study confirms the value of comics as authentic multimodal texts for pragmatic analysis. This research shows that comics can be an effective teaching tool in language or pragmatics classes. The integration of multiple modes in comics allows readers to capture meanings that are not directly stated, but implied through multimodal contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the structure and access of the mental lexicon in human memory through the psycholinguistic approach. The current study utilizes the qualitative descriptive approach by conducting a systematic literature review. The result shows that the access of the lexical knowledge is not constant, considering the frequency of the word, the contextual cue, and the meaning relationship, because it affects the language comprehension and production. The result also shows that the mental lexicon is hierarchically organized for effective lexical retrieval when people use language. This article concludes that the knowledge of the structure and the access of the mental lexicon is very significant for language acquisition processes and for the analysis of language disorders, including aphasia and dyslexia.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Natural Language Processing (NLP), has brought together two fundamental disciplines: Psycholinguistics and Computer Science. This research seeks to bridge the theoretical gap between how the human brain processes and generates language (psycholinguistics) and how machines model and replicate these processes (AI). This research employed a comparative-analytical literature review. Data was collected from leading academic journals focused on AI language models (such as Transformer and Large Language Models/LLMs) and theories of human language processing (such as Serial Processing and Connectionist Models). The analysis focused on three main dimensions: lexicon acquisition, syntactic processing, and pragmatic understanding. It was found that while modern AI excels at predicting word order and syntactic structure based on probability (like statistical approaches in cognition), it still falls short of fully replicating semantic processing tied to experience, awareness, and social context (a hallmark of human processing). Current AI models demonstrate impressive speeds in lexical inference but often fail at tasks requiring a theory of mind or a multi-layered understanding of pragmatics. Integrating psycholinguistic principles into AI architectures holds great potential for developing systems that are not only efficient but also more natural and human-like in their interactions. Further research is needed to build AI models that reflect the complex bottom-up and top-down processes in the human brain.

Abstract

Teachers and students’ interactions play a crucial role in achieving learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to find out how discourse strategies are used in a primary inclusive school. Through the participation of a primary inclusive school’s teacher, a corpus of recorded data was constructed. The discourse strategies were then identified and categorized based on the theory of Dornyei and Scott. The result of the study revealed that, based on corpus-analysis, the teacher used only the More Communicative Potential strategy. Within this category, the most frequently used strategy was a comprehension check. This was primarily applied because the teacher’s main purpose was to deliver the lesson clearly and coherently while ensuring students understood the material. This study implied that it is essential for teachers to be aware of and apply appropriate discourse strategies to support effective classroom interaction.

Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, especially for first-semester students who are still adapting to academic writing. Technological tools such as Grammarly have been widely used to support students in improving writing accuracy and providing immediate feedback. This study aims to explore first-semester students’ perceptions of using Grammarly in English writing at STAIN Madina. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed, involving ten students from the English Education Department selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation of students’ writing drafts and Grammarly feedback. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students generally have positive perceptions of Grammarly as a writing support tool. Grammarly helps students identify grammatical errors, increases their confidence in writing, and promotes learner autonomy. However, the study also found challenges such as overdependence on the tool and occasional inaccuracies in feedback. The study concludes that Grammarly is effective as a supportive tool in EFL writing instruction when used critically and combined with lecturer guidance.

Abstract

This review study examines the teaching of English language in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Its main purpose is to explore the major teaching methods, approaches, and practices commonly used in EFL classrooms, with particular attention to the development of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The study also discusses the roles of teachers and learners, as well as challenges faced by EFL instructors, such as limited exposure to authentic language and large class sizes. By reviewing both theoretical frameworks and previous empirical studies, the article identifies effective strategies for enhancing learners’ language proficiency. Findings indicate that communicative and learner-centered approaches are generally more successful than traditional methods. The study concludes with practical recommendations for EFL teachers and suggests directions for future research in the field of English language teaching.
