Abstract: This article was related to the teachers’ perception on the application of ICT-based English teaching in Senior High School and the readiness of the teachers and schools in applying the 2013 Curriculum. This qualitative data was described from the interview and the survey during the socialization of the 2013 Curriculum. 8 participants of different ages from different Senior High School in Kuningan Regency were interviewed by phone, direct interview, and Facebook-chatting. The findings showed that most of the senior teachers (80%) of more than 50 years of age were not motivated in using the ICT, 20% of them were familiar with ICT; 60% of the teachers between their 30s and 40s generally understood how to use ICT but seldom implemented the ICT based English teaching because of lack of ICT facilities. Almost 95 % of new English teachers were familiar with ICT and they applied the ICT-based English teaching when the ICT facility was available. Their reasons of not using ICT were lack of ICT literacy, taking too long to learn, and the fact that it was expensive and not always available. The conclusion of this research was that the application of the ICT-based English teaching could not be applied 100% because some teachers were still illiterate with ICT and the ICT facilities were still limited.

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the effect of teaching politeness strategies based on the models proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987) and Leech (1983) to intermediate English learners on their ability in writing more polite letters. The instrumentation includes an IELTS test, used as a placement test, an inventory, used to measure learners’ awareness of politeness strategies, and a letter-writing test, used as a measurement of learners’ ability in using politeness strategies. Among all the participants, twenty of them were put in the control group, and twenty-four of them in the experimental group, who went under the treatment. They were taught how to write politely based on the politeness strategy models proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987) and Leech (1983). After the treatment, learners wrote letters to the same people with the same situations. Comparing the twenty learners in the control group with the twenty-four learners in experimental group, the researchers concluded that the treatment had a significant effect on the learners’ ability in writing more polite letters. They selected to use more formal strategies with those who they saw further distance with, and more informal strategies with more intimate people. Furthermore, the answers the learners provided to the questions of the inventory offered more awareness of politeness strategies. This implies that they were more aware of various choices of polite language that were available for them to use in the given situations.Keywords: politeness strategy, face, face threatening act
