Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive examination of politeness strategies employed by the Balinese community in Penglipuran Village, Bangli, a culturally rich area renowned for its commitment to preserving traditional Balinese heritage and the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and the spiritual realm. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study involved detailed observations and interviews focusing on everyday social interactions between villagers and tourists, uncovering the nuanced ways politeness is linguistically and behaviorally enacted. The Balinese utilize positive politeness tactics such as warm greetings infused with traditional honorifics, inclusive language fostering a sense of shared identity, and proactive offers to guide or assist visitors, thereby creating a welcoming atmosphere that upholds community values. At the same time, negative politeness strategies are observed in the form of indirect speech acts or respectful distancing, especially within contexts that require setting boundaries or managing tourist numbers, which helps prevent discomfort or social conflict. These communicative practices are deeply interwoven with local customs, religious teachings, and community governance systems, facilitating not only smooth tourist-host interactions but also reinforcing social cohesion among residents amidst the pressures of modern tourism. The findings underscore how these politeness strategies are integral to sustaining a balanced, respectful environment that supports long-term, community-based tourism development in Penglipuran Village, ensuring both cultural preservation and economic vitality.

Abstract

Reading is a crucial skill in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, as it enables students to access information, expand vocabulary, and strengthen comprehension abilities. However, many Indonesian junior high school students continue to face difficulties in understanding English texts due to limited strategy use and a tendency to read word by word. Although previous studies have shown the effectiveness of skimming and scanning techniques in improving reading comprehension, most research has focused on senior high school or university students, leaving a gap in evidence at the junior high school level, particularly in small urban contexts such as Pematangsiantar. This study aimed to examine the influence of skimming and scanning techniques on eighth-grade students’ reading achievement at SMP Teladan Pematangsiantar. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was employed, involving 60 students selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected through a 20-item multiple-choice reading test and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved a higher post-test mean score (89.00) than the control group (77.00), with a significant difference confirmed by the t-test result (t-observed = 4.10 > t-table = 2.00). The results indicate that skimming and scanning techniques effectively enhance students’ reading comprehension. In conclusion, strategy-based instruction provides meaningful benefits for junior high school learners, supporting improved performance and engagement in reading Activites

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the root causes of low English-speaking performance among students at the English Education Department of Mandalika University of Education. Despite years of formal instruction, many students still face significant challenges in achieving oral fluency and accuracy. This research employed a qualitative case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires involving a selected group of students and speaking lecturers. The findings reveal that the low speaking performance is attributed to a complex interplay of internal and external factors. Internally, psychological barriers such as high levels of anxiety, fear of making grammatical errors, and a lack of self-confidence significantly hinder students' willingness to communicate. Externally, the lack of a supportive English-speaking environment outside the classroom, limited opportunities for authentic interaction, and traditional teaching methods that overemphasize rote memorization of grammar rules contribute to the problem. Furthermore, linguistic issues, particularly limited vocabulary and poor pronunciation, remain primary obstacles. This study concludes that addressing low speaking performance requires a holistic approach, including the implementation of more communicative and interactive teaching strategies, the creation of an English-speaking zone on campus, and the integration of psychological support to build students' confidence. These findings provide valuable insights for curriculum designers and lecturers at Mandalika University of Education to enhance the quality of English-speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study examined how Snapchat influences students’ motivation toward reading English. A mixed methods approach was used by combining questionnaire data and interview data from five participants. Quantitative data were evaluated descriptively, whilst qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaire, employing various platforms such as Google form and direct calls among university students. The analysis centered on intrinsic and extrinsic motivations as informed by the Self-Determination Theory, focusing on the dimensions of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Findings indicate that Snapchat’s interactive and visual elements notably bolster students’ intrinsic motivation by fulfilling their needs for autonomy, competence, and social connections, while extrinsic motivation factors were less influential. The study concludes that Snapchat presents a promising avenue for enhancing engagement and motivation in English reading among university learners.

Abstract

Speaking ability is one of the essential skills in language learning; however, many students still face difficulties such as fear, anxiety, and lack of confidence when speaking in public. This study aims to investigate the effect of implementing the Action Learning strategy on students’ self- confidence in speaking skill at SMPN 9 Mataram in the academic year 2024/2025. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi- experimental design, specifically the Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two classes of eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling: the experimental class (30 students) was taught using the Action Learning strategy, while the control class (30 students) received conventional instruction. The instruments used were a self-confidence questionnaire and a speaking test, and the data were analyzed using t-tests with the aid of SPSS software. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with the average questionnaire score increasing from 36.1 to 47.9, and the speaking test score rising from 14.2 to 20.1. In contrast, the control class showed only slight and insignificant improvements. The independent-sample t-test confirmed a significant difference between the post-test results of both groups (p < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Action Learning strategy has a positive and significant effect on enhancing students’ self-confidence in speaking.
