“…Although the chi-square analysis results show no relationship between gender and body language, the proportion of female students who have moderate and high body language skills is higher than boys. This study's results are consistent with the research [41] that women are better at expressing feelings and thoughts through eye contact, smiles, and body movements when communicating. On the other hand, male students tend to be more rigid and rarely use body language in the communication process.…”

“…The results of this study were supported by Gregory [11] who stated that female students were better than male students during online learning process. This was because female students were more aware of the learning strategies used [21], were more motivated [22], had better abilities in time management, independent learning, and exerted more effort while studying [23], and had better performance [24].

This study aimed to determine differences in the learning process during Covid-19 pandemic from various variables (gender, age, class, school location, school status) in Senior High Schools (SMA). This research used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population in this study was all public and private high school students in Central Lombok Regency. The sampling technique was accidental sampling with a sample of 456. The learning process data were collected using a questionnaire which already met research requirements in the google form. Overall data were analyzed quantitatively using non-parametric comparative analysis because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed the significant differences in the learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic from various variables (gender p-value 0.015; age p-value 0.041; class p-value 0.034; school location p-value 0.000; school status p-value 0.001) with 5% significance. The better perception of the learning process during the pandemic was found in female, 16 years old, 10th grader, public school, and urban school students.Therefore, the learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic should consider geographical characteristics (gender, age, class, school location, school status) in designing learning intervention.

“…In Indonesia, one of the countries where English is taught as a foreign language, for example, issues on how to reach an effective English language teaching process also become major concerns. Studies had been conducted such as in improving the teaching methods (Hamra & Syatriana, 2010;Mahmud, 2017b;Rachmawaty & Hermagustiana, 2010) and other related issues (Mahmud, 2017a;Mahmud & Nur, 2018;Setiawati, 2012). Findings from these studies confirm that practitioners of English language teaching in Indonesia still face many problems and therefore, they need efforts to improve the quality of English language teaching process.…”

Politeness still becomes a major concern in English language teaching. It is considered as one way to maintain effective classroom interaction. Therefore, as one of the important actors in the class, teachers, and students need to practice politeness as a way to create effective classroom interaction. This study aims to explore the politeness strategies of English students at one of the universities in Makassar. The researcher applied a descriptive qualitative research method to explore the politeness phenomena in EFL classroom interaction. The participants of this research were two classes of English literature program consisting of 50 students. The primary sources of data were the individual student presentations which had been recorded. There were fifty transcriptions of the recording which lasted for five to seven minutes for each presentation. The transcriptions were analyzed and discussed based on the theory of politeness of Brown and Levinson (1987). The findings from this study revealed that English students used different kinds of expressions to encode their politeness in the class. Those expressions were in the forms of greetings, thanking, addressing terms, apologizing, and fillers. There were also some terms derived from students’ vernacular language which were used as a softening mechanism for their presentation. These expressions were categorized as positive and negative politeness. The findings of this study might be used as an input for teachers and students in an effort to create effective classroom interaction.
