Abstract

This study aims to reveal a cause-effect relationship in language use among students towards their lecturers in the English department UNESA on WhatsApp as one of the online communication platforms. This study’s objectives are to seek the language style used by the students in contacting their lecturers through WhatsApp chat, their lecturers’ responses, and how it affects their relations as learners and educators. A documentation technique was used in collecting chat proofs between students and lecturers to reveal which language styles were used. In discovering lecturers’ opinions towards students’ language styles, an online questionnaire with open and close-ended questions was distributed to all lecturers in the English department UNESA. This study adopted a qualitative approach by applying descriptive analysis. The results show that the students and lecturers use the tu and vous language style to express politeness and solidarity. However, in some cases, students used informal language unacceptable to some lecturers. As impolite as those are, the analysis shows that students’ informal language style has little effect on their student-lecturers relationship. This study may help other researchers later within the same topic by exploring more depth-analysis among different social environments to see if the results show the same outcome.
