AN ANALYSIS OF COMMUNICATION DIFFICULTIES ACROSS CULTURE AND GENDER
Get PDFPenelitian ini adalah suatu penelitian kepustakaan mengenai isu
gender dalam analisi komunikasi di antara di negara barat dan bagaimana
jika dibandingkan dengan kondisi Indonesia khususnya untuk komunikasi
inter gender. Bukunya seorang ahli linguistik di barat, Deborah Tannen, yang
berjudul "You Just Don' Understand" akan di analisis dalam studi ini.
Tannen berpendapat bahwa kesulitan-kesulitan berkomunikasi yang dihadapi
oleh pria dan wanita sama halnya dengan kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh orangorang
dengan latar belakang kebudayaan yang berbeda. Ini menjelaskan
mengapa perbedaan kelamin tetap masih menimbulkan masalah dalam
komunikasi. Teori Tannen memperlihatkan keterkaitan antara komunikasi
antar gender yang ada di Indonesia, namun analisis yang lebih mendalam
mengenai budaya sangat perlu dikaji dalam hal ini. Teori-teori dari Tannen
dapat di pakai untuk menganalisis bagaimana nilai-nilai budaya yang ada
dalam masyarakat khususnya dalam hal komunikasi antar gender. Study ini
menganalisis inter gender yaitu jenis komunikasi yang tercipta antar gender
yaitu kaum laki-laki dan perempuan yang terjadi di budaya barat yang
diungkapkan oleh Tannen dalam bukunya dan kemudian dibandingkan
dengan komunikasi antar gender yang terjadi dalam masyarakat Indonesia
yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh nilai-nilai budaya dan agama. Dalam kajian
studi ini ditemukan bahwa gaya pria dalam berkomunikasi mengacu kepada
nilai; status dan kemandirian, sebaliknya wanita lebih mengarah kepada nilai;
hubungan dan keakraban. Yang menarik adalah apa latar belakang yang
mempengaruhi perbedaan nilai-nilai ini? Dan bagaimana yang terjadi di
Indonesia? Kajian ini akan mengulas semua hal-hal di atas

Get PDFThis article explores EFL students’ perceptions of purposeful listening strategies implemented in a Listening for Professional Context course at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. This study used a convergent mixed-methods design; data sources were collected from 23 students in an English Language Education Study program through Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by open-ended reflections. Findings reveal that structured listening cycles were perceived to develop students’ focus, metacognitive awareness, strategic autonomy, and engagement with authentic listening materials, suggesting a perceived shift toward more active listening. Pre-listening activities facilitated mental readiness and reduced initial cognitive load, while-listening strategies promoted active processing and real-time monitoring, while post-listening reflection enhanced metacognitive awareness and learner autonomy. Students reported that listening tasks became more manageable and meaningful when guided by explicit strategies, even when working with authentic professional audio texts. These results underscore the importance of integrating purposeful listening cycles into EFL listening instruction, particularly in contexts employing authentic professional materials. The study is limited by a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. However, it contributes context-specific insight into the use of purposeful listening cycles in the Listening for Professional Context course, with implications for EFL curriculum design and strategy-oriented listening instruction in higher education
Empowering Identity among English Teachers in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution: Perspectives from Tomini Bay
Get PDFThis paper discusses the issue of foreign English language teachers in the Tomini Bay area in Indonesia. Utilizing several theories such as the theory of empowerment and agency as well as teachers' identity development, this qualitative research presents a study with the interview data from 10 teachers who live and teach in the Tomini Bay area. The data were analyzed by coding the interview materials into several main areas of interest. From this, several themes emerged for discussion that seemed to be influential and contribute to understanding teachers and their experiences in the language teaching context. The study reveals that teachers' views of their remuneration, their views of teaching in this technology era and pandemic situation, and their views of local potential teaching resources are significantly different from teachers who are classified as 'empowered identity' than those who are not in the category. However, the necessity of government intervention in English language teaching success in their area emerges as a crucial factor viewed by all the 10 teachers' recollections. It is hoped that this paper discussion can reveal factors that should be considered in a model offered to develop EFL teachers and their identity development in the Tomini Bay area, which later affects the success of English teaching in the surroundings and subsequently impacts English language teaching success in Indonesia
