The research is a basis for a more comprehensive research aiming to explain how the aforementioned tendencies affect the effectiveness of peer review. The data collected were in the form of students written commentaries taken from three expository and argumentative essay writing assignments. These data were collected from eight students, four high achievers and four low achievers. On the courses first meeting, an essay writing proficiency test was administered to determine researchs participants and dyads involved. To prepare students with peer review practice, a peer review tutorial and rubrics were also given on the first meeting of the course. Following this stage, students written commentaries were collected as data, which were then codified following the typology of written feedback by experts. Codification results were interpreted by comparing them to previous related research. In doing so, it was apparent that low achievers tend to produce commentaries on surface structure errors. As oppose to this, organization and content-focused commentaries were dominant in high achievers feedbacks. These findings are noteworthy, as they suggest a link between students proficiency level and their preferred commentary focus.Keywords: academic writing, peer review production, student teacher, commentary provision tendency.

The focus is divided into 3 main concerns 1) do  the students consider translator as their profession after graduation? 2)do  the students think they are equipped with enough knowledge on becoming a translator? 3)what elements should the English Department provide to support their career choice?. These concerns were presented in a perceptional questionnaire as the main data collection technique that aims to find out whether the students of English Literature as the University of Muhammadiyah Gorontalo would consider translator as their career. This is a qualitative research with total sampling as the technique of data collection. The subject of the research were 20 students of 6th semester majoring in English Literature at Muhammadiyah University of Gorontalo.

Abstract

This naturalistic qualitative study is intended to unravelling the working of quantity maxim introduced by Grice (1975) on EFL online classroom interaction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, this study is designed to investigate whether or not students violating or obeying the quantity maxim by observing and unravelling the utterances produced during online classroom interaction. Moreover, this study also provides factors that influence the non-observance maxim of quantity. The participant consists of 31 students from the fifth semester majoring in English Education at Tidar University. The study is conducted by recording, transcribing, and classifying the conversations done on online classroom interaction, viewed from Gricean maxim perspectives. The results reflect that students both observed and violated the maxim of quantity. The total number of observance maxim is 9, and 14 for the non-observance maxim. This study brings the conclusion that external factors such as unstable internet connection and interference coming from the surrounding environment during the online classroom can cause EFL students to break the maxim of quantity principle. Meanwhile, anxiety as an internal factor plays a crucial factor that leads the EFL students to violate the quantity maxim.
