An ELF-Oriented Corpus-Based Analysis into the EMI Lecturers’ Use of Spatial Deixis across Two Different Teaching Media

In the last two decades, English-Medium Instruction (EMI) has fast increased in non-Anglophone universities, with the result that non-native English speaker (NNES) lecturers are increasingly using English as a lingua franca (ELF) to interact with their NNES students in the classroom. As such, EMI represents “a prototypical ELF scenario” (Smit 2017, 387). This paper identifies and describes language variations that occurred in EMI lecturers’ talk in a comparable corpus of six EMI engineering lectures taught in two different teaching modalities: in-person and virtual synchronous classrooms. By means of a corpus-based methodology, this study particularly focuses on lexical spatial deixis as it allows the lecturer to direct students’ attention towards a common referent so as to ensure students’ comprehension and participation (Hyland 2005). The findings indicate that the use of proximal deictics differs according to the context, with interactional and pedagogical implications beyond EMI.

The Use of Deixis in Online Classroom Interaction Among the University Students

Pragmatics is the study related to linguistics used by a person. It is the study of language and its content. Therefore, it becomes the basis for knowing the meaning of a language.

This research aimed to find the use of deixis in online class interaction among the third-semester students of the graduate school Universitas Negeri Semarang 2020/2021, the data of this study were the students' interactions in the WhatsApp application during the class of the graduate school Universitas Negeri Semarang. This research was a form of qualitative research proposed by Creswell (2009). We were required to be able to classify, collect, analyze, and draw conclusions through the phenomena that have been analyzed without making a generalization. The findings showed that from 26 students' discussion results, 1.156 deixes were found in the students’ discussions. Then, the deixis were categorized into five categories based on Levinson’s theory. There were 529 personal deixes that equal to 45.76%, 55 temporal deixes that equal with 4.75%, there are 108 in spatial deixis that equal to 9.34%, 329 in social deixis that equal with 28.46%, and 135 in discoursal deixis that equal to 11.67%.

What are The Vocative Elements in Arabic? How can they be considered as a category of linguistics deictic expression? and how can a deictic expression be applied to create a particular point of view in discourse? These main points will be considered through the discussion. A variety of different examples will be quoted or created alongside the theoretical discussion in order to clarify these mentioned points.
