Communication Strategy Adopted by Indonesian Students when Learning Japanese: Linguistic and Cultural Perspectives
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Communication strategy is a systematic technique used by foreign language learners to convey messages when they face difficulties in communication because they do not have enough knowledge of target knowledge (B2). Indonesian students learning Japanese (ISLJ) use linguistic forms that deviate from Japanese grammatical norms. Deviation is considered a negative phenomenon, but this phenomenon is considered positive by ISLJ as a communication strategy. About 30 students (72%) practice literal translation strategy and code exchange from mother tongue (B1) to B2, 6 (15%) mixed strategy code (borrowing) in English and BI, 4 (9%) strategy of linguistic deposition (disappearance), and 2 (4%) mime strategy (using gestures) and silence. The form of politeness in Japanese (Keigo) and the implementation of Japanese culture are not well realized among ISLJs but a few ISLJs use teinei form in their communication. In terms of culture and language accuracy, errors in appropriate vocabulary selection are found and disturb the communication fluency.
