An Analysis of Cooperative Principle Maxim in the Written and Spoken Mode of Communication between Teacher and Students during Online Learning

Abstract

This study had analyzed the application of the Cooperative Principles maxim in the teacher and students� interaction during online learning, either in the spoken or written mode of communication. Previous research argues that there are some differences in interaction through spoken and written modes of communication. This current research analyzed the differences between the application of Cooperative principles maxim in the spoken and written mode of communication, it is because most of the research about Cooperative principles maxim only analyzed the utterances in one mode of communication. Then, although there is research on the Cooperative Principle maxim in both modes of communication still not been found that compared the Cooperative Principle maxim in the context of teacher and student interaction in that two modes of communication. This current research employed the descriptive qualitative method. The vocational high school students become the participants of this study because there is a must for them to be fluent in English because of the need to work after they graduate. The researcher is the primary instrument. However, the researcher also used a secondary instrument to find results. The secondary tool is the table used by some previous research on analyzing the flouting and violating of the maxim. Further, the results show in the teacher and students' interaction through the spoken mode of communication, that the most maxim flouted by the teacher and students is the maxim of quantity. Then, the most maxim violated in the spoken mode of communication by the teacher is the maxim of quantity however, students violated the maxim of quality. In the written mode of communication, teachers flouted the maxim quantity and manner for the most, but students flouted the maxim of quality and manner. However, the researcher did not find the occurrence of a violation of the maxim in the written mode of communication.

“…Furthermore, the clarity or obscurity of a message can shed light on the degree of transparency and openness in a digital society, as well as the impacts it may have on audience perception and support (Reischauer & Ringel, 2023). The application of the Cooperative Principle maxim in communication has been extensively explored (Gultom, 2022). In historical dialogues, the way information is presented can be as telling as the information itself.…”

Educational Teacher-Student Communication During Emergency Remote Education

“…Communication can go smoothly and effectively as long as communicators accept the principles of the interaction: maxims of qualitative, quantitative, relevance, and manner (AROFAH & MUBAROK, 2021;GULTOM, 2022;WICAKSONO et al, 2022;) analyzed the types of maxims that are flouted and violated by the teacher and students during online learning interaction, either in spoken or written communication, and the ways the speakers flouted and violated the maxim. Gultom (2022) found that the flouting maxim of quantity is mostly flouted by the teacher in the spoken mode of communication because they want to convince the students about the lesson material or the answer to the question discussed in the learning process. In the spoken mode, a violated maxim occurs when the speaker purposely omits some information in their utterances in order to make the hearer not get enough information (AROFAH & MUBAROK, 2021).…”

“…In the spoken mode, a violated maxim occurs when the speaker purposely omits some information in their utterances in order to make the hearer not get enough information (AROFAH & MUBAROK, 2021). The researchers found the teacher violated the maxim by being circumlocutionary in responding to student answers and by providing uninformative information (GULTOM, 2022).…”

“…According to Gultom (2022) the students flout the maxim of manner by being ambiguous and by not being brief and orderly. The students violated the maxim of quality regularly by distorting information, that is, by changing the element of ownership of someone's opinion as if it were their own.…”

Pragmatics Analysis on Students’ Conversation at Grade Eleven of State of Vocational High School 1 Pematangsiantar

“…In this case, there are some previous researches to analysis conversation based on the Grice theory, one of them is (Triana et al, 2021) In her study is purposed to describe maxims found in the communication between teacher and students during online learning by Zoom and also to describe the non-observance maxims made by the teacher and students. The second researcher was conducted by (Gultom, 2022) In her study is aimed to find out the differences between the application of Cooperative principles maxim in the spoken and written mode of communication between teacher and students during online learning, it is because most of the research about Cooperative principles maxim only analyzed the utterances in one mode of communication. The differences between first researcher and second researcher are the first researcher is focused on the communication between teacher and students during online learning by Zoom and also to describe the non-observance maxims made by the teacher and students, while the second researcher is focused to find out the differences between the application of cooperative principle maxim in the written and spoken mode of communication between teacher and students during online learning.…”
