Abstract

Abstract: Language should be learned in the cultural context of its speak­ers. This is because the speakers bring an intention in performing a linguistic act. Failure in understanding the intention of the speakers will lead to failure in responding to the intended message and, thus, failure in using the language. The study of how language is used in a particular context or situation is the focus of pragmatics. An important pragmatic issue concerns with politeness, i.e. showing awareness of another persons public self-image. This article highlights the politeness phe­nomena and the degree of success in learning English. The issues dis­cussed include the definition of politeness, strategies of politeness, po­liteness in the Oriental cultures, politeness in the context of Indonesian cultures, and the implication of politeness phenomena in the teaching of English.

Abstract

A long debate among scholars about the effect of feedback on students writing has never come to the end. Since Truscott (1996) claimed that error correction is not useful and even harmful, some researchers then come up with their findings in reaction to this claim (Hyland, 1998; Ferris, 2006; Ellis, et.al.. 2008; Sheen, 2010). They proved that feedback provision on students’ writing is still required because it is able to improve students’ writing. However, it is still a question, what type of feedback is most effective to improve students’ writing? This study aims to find out the effectiveness of direct and indirect feedback in EFL writing performance. Sixty-three students participated in this study, divided into three groups: 2 experimental groups and one control group. They were required to write five essays with different topics. Then, their papers were provided with different feedback: direct and indirect feedback for the experimental groups and peer feedback for the control group. When their papers were returned, the students were required to rewrite and revise their papers based on the corrections given by the teacher. The final versions of the papers were assessed in terms of content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics to find out how effective one particular type of feedback improve the students’ writing performance. The findings revealed that the three types of feedback were able to improve the students’ writing performance.

Abstract

Intercultural communication is usually viewed as the communication which takes place between two or more people from different cultural backgrounds. These different cultural backgrounds are commonly understood as different languages and nationalities. However, intercultural communication is not limited to these backgrounds. It can also be viewed as communication across gender. This article aims to provide a conceptual study which reviews some ideas regarding intercultural communication in the view of gender. It discusses the ideas proposed by some scholars in communications concerning how men and women communicate differently because they are considered members of different cultures, that is, the culture of men and the culture of women. The discussion focuses on the differences between men and women in terms of communication styles, communication attitudes, and linguistic strategies. Some potential misunderstandings which occur between men and women are also presented as a result of those differences.
