Abstract

This research aims to discover the levels of EFL students' critical thinking skills. It is a quantitative approach with descriptive design by utilizing the adapted version of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Skills Test as the instrument. It consists of five indicators: deduction, inference, identifying assumptions, interpretation, and analyzing arguments, with five questions for each. The subjects of the research were 33 students of the English Department of FKIP, Lambung Mangkurat University. The results showed that 23 students (69.69%) had a moderate level of critical thinking skills, seven students (21.21%) had a low level, and three students (9.09%) had a high level. Specifically, they performed low levels in inference and identifying assumptions, but they had moderate levels of critical thinking skills in deduction, interpretation of information, and analysis of arguments. These findings imply the need to facilitate students with more practice to develop their critical thinking skills, particularly in making inferences and identifying assumptions. Further research is recommended to measure EFL students' critical thinking skills by involving larger participants using other instruments of measurement to reveal more conclusive findings.

Abstract

Communication is a form of bridge to convey thoughts between one individual and another. Every person must have their measure of being polite and harmonious according to who they are dealing with, including Wednesday Addams. This pragmatic research scrutinizes the politeness strategies employed by Wednesday Addams, the lead female protagonist in the Netflix series Wednesday. The character Wednesday Addams utilizes politeness strategies to maintain public and self-image during interactions while solving a murder case. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the researchers found that Wednesday frequently used bald on-record strategies with straightforward speech without being threatening. In contrast, off-record strategies were used less frequently. The researchers also observed that Wednesday used all the politeness strategies outlined by Brown and Levinson (1987). This study highlights the significance of politeness, not only for interpersonal relationships but also for achieving long-term goals, as demonstrated in the “Wednesday” series. However, further studies could provide additional perspectives and challenge the findings presented in this study.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate undergraduate students' filler types in academic speaking presentations and how they use filler functions. This qualitative research used observation to analyze the type of fillers used by the students during the presentation and interview to analyze the function of the fillers they used. The participants were 21 undergraduate students of the English Education Department from Universitas Wiralodra. This study reported that the students used lexicalized and unlexicalized fillers during the presentation. Lexicalized fillers are found mostly used by the students with 60,93%. While unlexicalized filler appeared 39.07%. Those fillers functioned to hesitate, empathize, mitigate, edit terms, and create time. Filler is used and functioned by the students to show politeness and create time to plan what to say next. This study implies that the students need various strategies to use fillers properly and understand positive and negative fillers so they can develop their communicative competency. This study suggests further investigation in terms of the use of filler in written language.

Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, leadership played a crucial role in guiding the direction of a country. This research aims at analyzing speech delivered by the Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan, during the Covid-19 pandemic taken from online news media. To explore the identity, relational, and ideational dimensions of the speech, the research employs discourse analysis based on the first three-level framework proposed by Fairclough. The three-skill approach is also utilized to discover leadership values embedded in the Governor’s utterances during the pandemic, focusing on his actions and leadership qualities. The findings of this study reveal that he constructs himself as a leader who has taken actions to tackle the plague, a leader who is strict sentencing anyone who disobeys the regulations, a leader who concerns about his people’s safety, and a leader who works collaboratively rather than ndividually. Other findings also explain that his utterances align with the three-skill approach such as the ability in defining problems, communicating goals, planning, employing social judgment skill, and having knowledge.

Abstract

Machine translations offer several features that simplify the translation process. These include the ability to automatically adjust grammar and vocabulary from the source language to the target language, store word banks, and tailor the target language to specific fields. However, machine translation outputs still contain errors. Therefore, it is essential to perform post-editing to ensure grammatical and lexical cohesion and alignment between the source and target languages. This research aims to observe the quality of Google Translate and the result of Post-editing machine translation by EFL learners in terms of grammatical cohesion. This study used a descriptive qualitative. This study applied purposive sampling to choose the data. Three abstracts from three different Translation and Interpreting classes were chosen for the data. Then, the data were analysed by using the theory of grammatical cohesion and translation quality assessment. The result of the study shows that the grammatical cohesions found are mostly reference and conjunction. This study also finds that the quality of post-editing is better than the result of Google Translation as machine translation. The samples of data provides that mostly the score of post-editing is better observed from translation acceptability and readability. This study is restricted to the translation result of three abstracts only and the students’ post-editing effort which means that the findings may not fully represent the overall quality of translations from a grammatical cohesion. Future research could delve deeper into this topic by expanding the data sources and incorporating machine translation tools other than Google Translate.

Abstract

This study investigates innovative strategies and challenges in online grammar instruction within the English Language Education Department at IAIN Parepare, Indonesia. As digital learning becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, the research focuses on the experiences of 40 students and 5 online grammar instructors. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys of all 40 students and in-depth interviews with the 5 tutors, this study investigates the adaptation of traditional grammar teaching methods to digital platforms. Key findings reveal that interactive tools, gamification, and personalized learning paths significantly enhance student engagement and comprehension in online grammar lessons. However, challenges such as varying levels of digital literacy among students, maintaining consistent motivation in virtual environments, and the limitations of asynchronous communication emerge as significant hurdles. The study concludes by proposing a tailored framework for effective online grammar instruction at IAIN Parepare, emphasizing the integration of culturally relevant multimedia resources, collaborative learning activities, and adaptive assessment techniques. These insights contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital pedagogy in Indonesian higher education and offer practical implications for educators navigating the complexities of online language instruction in similar institutional settings.
