Gender Representation in Directive Speech Acts of Teachers: A Study on Indonesian Language Learning in Automotive Vocational High Schools in Pasaman District

This study aims to examine gender representation in directive speech acts of Indonesian language teachers in Pasaman Regency Automotive Department Vocational Schools. Included in the type of qualitative research, this research applies descriptive analysis method. The research data is in the form of directive speech of male teachers and female teachers in Indonesian language learning at SMK Department of Automotive Pasaman Regency. It can be concluded that Indonesian teachers use various forms of directive speech acts, such as directions, orders, and instructions to students. Variants of the use of directive speech acts also show variations between male and female teachers, with three dominant variants commonly used by male teachers and five variants commonly used by female teachers. The results also reveal that female teachers tend to use the speech act of ordering or commanding as the dominant form, although they also show a sense of solidarity by using the speech acts of suggesting and advising. On the other hand, male teachers are more inclined to the direct approach and commanding without preamble. This difference reflects the complexity of the relationship between men's and women's language and thinking in the learning context.

Developing sociolinguistic awareness through Japanese virtual linguistic landscapes in Sakubun classroom

ABSTRACT Sociolinguistic awareness is crucial for L2 learners because language is not just a set of grammatical rules and vocabulary; it is deeply intertwined with social and cultural context. The linguistic landscape serves as a conduit for discerning facets of language use in a given community. This study focuses on raising sociolinguistic awareness among L2 learners by utilising a virtual linguistic landscape in a pre-advanced Japanese writing class. We adopt a qualitative methodology to examine team-based projects within this writing class at a state university in Indonesia. The participants are third-year university students at an intermediate B1 level of CEFR standard. The course has 38 enrolled students, all included in this study. Our findings reveal that by analysing linguistic landscapes, students progress through stages of noticing and being aware of the multilingualism prevalent in their virtual environment. The project enables students to simulate the experience of navigating Japan by interacting with public signs in Japanese despite being geographically distant from the actual settings. It offers an intercultural experience that has the potential to enhance Japanese language education in Indonesia, especially as direct contact with the Japanese language environment, such as public signage in Japan, is typically unattainable for these learners.
