Different types of expectation between the involved parties sometimes causing communication challenge for both. This study aims to find out how educators viewed the courtesy shown by the students during interactions using instant messaging media. Specifically, it aims to find out politeness indicators, communication challenges, and educators’ expectations. The interview questions included the concept of appropriate and polite messages between students as well as the overall attitudes of students within WhatsApp communication. The interviews are transcribed and coded based on what is listed in the framework. The results of the study reveal that most lecturers agreed students are adept in establishing communication through WhatsApp, compared to those in the past by incorporating greetings to open a conversation, stating identity, thanking and closing to end the conversation. Aside from a small number of students having trouble following etiquette, challenges appeared mostly when educators did not set clear rules on what they expected regarding WhatsApp communication. Educators have lower expectations on WhatsApp use in non-academic context.","PeriodicalId":30934,"journal":{"name":"Parole Journal of Linguistics and Education","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78566675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims at describing the implementation of online German teaching and learning and the use of platforms to support German language learning in higher education based on pedagogy and technology aspects. The researcher talks about the experience of teaching German in the Deutsch I course through online learning. The German language that students learned was German at level A1. The research method used was qualitative research with a narrative approach. This method was chosen due to it was based on the researcher’s experience while teaching in the Deutsch I course. In this study, the data used were pictures and the results of students’ reflection with data collection techniques of observation, documentation, and questionnaire. The data were explained based on the pedagogical and technological aspects. In the pedagogical aspect, the implementation of German online learning was explained as well as the materials that were taught, whereas, in technological aspects, the applications used to support learning were explained namely WhatsApp, Zoom, Padlet, Quizlet, Kahoot, and Google Form. The results show that obstacles in online learning cannot be avoided. However, to overcome these obstacles, teachers can use other applications to provide and explain the material to students who are left behind, so the materials that have been determined in the curriculum can be delivered properly.","PeriodicalId":30934,"journal":{"name":"Parole Journal of Linguistics and Education","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89374874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some problems encountered by learners were unstable internet network, frequent power outage, slow response by lecturer in chatting, time consumption during online team work, and lack of motivation in self-learning.

Yemeni Novices have many difficulties pronouncing English terms owing to this. For example, we often hear English learners pronounce \"sight [sait]\" with \"[saig]\" or \"know,” [nəʊ]\" with \"[knəʊ].\" This study is concerned with identifying widespread errors in the pronunciation of silent letters in English words among Yemeni EFL learners. Qualitative descriptive study was used in this investigation as a methodology. With the aid of purposive sampling techniques, a sample of 5 EFL novices was selected from 1st level of the English Department, Faculty of Education, Sana'a University, Yemen, which was classified into a group of novice high-level learners (beginners). Analytically descriptive method was used to analyze the data after they were collected through test. The result of this study showed that in pronouncing words containing the silent letters like b, c, d, g, gh, h, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, th, and w, the researcher finds errors made by the EFL novices. He analyzes three positions of the silent letters in the words (initial, medial, and final position) and by understanding this; it would be possible to develop useful instructional materials and teaching strategies to target this issue.
