Abstract

Criticism tends to be a face-threatening speech act that can endanger social relationships if not managed using appropriate strategies, especially in the intercultural context. This study aims to compare and contrast the politeness of criticism speech acts used in Japanese and Minangkabau languages as depicted in film series. The data on criticism speech acts in this study were collected from eleven Japanese film series with a total duration of 538 minutes and eight Minangkabau films with a total duration of 535 minutes. The collected data were formed into a set of data cards, classified based on the criticism speech acts strategies by Nguyen (2005), and analyzed based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The data classification in Japanese and Minangkabau was validated through the expert judgment process. The findings indicated that the Japanese and Minangkabau languages employed the same set of criticism speech act strategies but have different tendencies. In Japanese, speakers tend to use indirect strategies as their main criticism speech act strategy by ‘asking/presupposing,’ ‘correction,’ and ‘advice for change.’ Meanwhile, in Minangkabau, speakers tend to use direct strategies by using ‘negative evaluation,’ ‘expression of contradiction,’ and ‘disagreement’ strategies. Regarding the politeness strategy, off-record politeness strategies are more dominantly used among Japanese speakers. In contrast, Minangkabau speakers use bald on-record politeness strategies in criticism speech acts, reflecting their communication culture.  The findings of this study provide a deeper understanding of criticism speech act and politeness strategies. The study is expected to contribute to the area of research on intercultural communication and Sociolinguistics.

Abstract

Classroom Action Research (CAR) facilitates teachers to improve the quality of learning and teaching and works with them to develop and understand engaging context-specific research. In this study, 193 Japanese language teachers’ perceptions of CAR were qualitatively explored through Classroom Action Research’s survey to know the Japanese language teachers’ perceptions and abilities of research, especially at the high school level. A questionnaire consisting of open-ended questions was utilized to collect the data. The results revealed that most teachers don’t have sufficient capacity and ability to do the research, but they considered that research is a crucial skill. Participants who have done CAR mostly use it for getting promoted, and only a few of them use it to develop the quality of teaching. The survey results also showed that many teachers never did CAR based on the structured way or never done it at all. This study reveals that the ability of the teachers to do the research needs to be improved extensively.
