Abstract

The phenomena of language use in the class still become the object of study ever since the languages are essential aspects in classroom interaction. It cannot be denied that in the classroom interaction, the communicative styles of the lecturers and students will be influenced by many aspects. One of them is the social status differences which lead to the occurrence of code-crossing in the class. For that purpose, the study in this paper is directed to explore the occurrence of code-crossing in the class and the factors influencing it. This research applied a qualitative research design taking two English classes and their students at one university in Makassar as the subject. The data of this research were collected by employing classroom observation and audio recording. The data were analyzed descriptively by adopting Discourse Analysis approach which relies on data recording, data transcription, data selection, and data interpretation. The result of the research shows that the lecturers and the students employed code-crossing in EFL classroom interaction which can be seen from the use of low and high code. This study also found that the use of that high and low code in the form of code-crossing of the lecturers and the students is influenced by the power of social status, age differences, the social distance or familiarity, and intimacy between the lecturers and the students. Findings from this study are worthy of reading for English language teaching practitioners in their effort to create effective classroom interaction.

Abstract

Even though the learning environment is still an online class, the implementation of the extensive speaking project is good and also in accordance with the actual method. In a semester, students work on two types of projects: group projects and individual projects. The lecturer allows students to choose their own topics, and students' project-related activities are conducted more outside of the classroom. Students' learning experiences in implementing large speaking projects were also reflected in numerous indicators in this study. These indicators include benefits such as strengthening students' public speaking skills and assisting them in being more critical thinkers, and also increased motivation and speaking fluency. Extensive speaking projects can contribute to developing students' abilities to be more creative, independent, collaborative, communicative, and technological. The project can also promote vocabulary knowledge, practice pronunciation, acquaint students with conveying ideas by extending the topic, and build students' self-confidence in the area of oral communication. As a result, they will be able to speak effectively and openly. The other indicator is the difficulties that students face in conducting extensive speaking projects, such as online learning, which renders the method less than optimally implemented.

Most speakers are even good at foreign language, English in particular. Thus, this background causes code switching happens noticeably commonplace. Since it happens very frequently, for some cases it becomes habit. This phenomena also occurs to Gita Savitri, an Indonesian YouTuber who is able to speak several languages. This research aims: 1) to identify types of code switching, and 2) to describe some reasons of the used of code switching by Gita Savitri in selected videos in her YouTube channel.

The data in this research was Gita’s utterances. Researchers used the theory proposed by Hoffman (1991) to analyse the data. Results of this study found fifty times of code-switching occurrence. There were twenty-one utterances of intra-sentential code switching; twenty utterances of inter-sentential code switching; and nine utterances of emblematic code switching. Also, some reasons by Gita Savitri made code switching in her videos were: seven utterances talking about certain topics, five utterances quoting other people, four utterances affirming something or expressing solidarity, four utterances included in connecting sentences, four utterances adventure used for clarification, one speaker’s utterance used to clarify the conversation content to the opposite. Also, five utterances used by speaker’s to express the identity of a group. At last, it is hoped that the findings of this research could be a novel contribution in a field of sociolinguistics, also a new insight for code-switching phenomenon which is probably found very common nowadays in Indonesia.

Abstract

The movie "Your Name Engraved Herein," by Kuang-Hui Liu, is the subject of this study. The main character in the movie is homosexual, and the writer aims to explore homosexuality through character. This study applied Alan Swingewood's sociological literature theory, which sees literary works as direct reflections of society. In other words, literary works cannot be separated from the social realities that exist in society. This study aims to find out (1) conflict that experienced by main character as gay (2) the way taken by them to overcome the conflict, and (3) the perception of Taiwanese society towards homosexuals reflected in the movie. The results of this research indicate a correlation between real-life conditions in Taiwan in 1987 and the situation depicted in the movie. In the movie, homosexuality is viewed as a mental illness and disorder. Society believes that keeping gays around them will have a negative impact and may lead to others become same-sex lovers. This state is reflected in Kuang-Hui Liu's and his lover's fear of public judgment.
