ABSTRACTThe objectives of this study is to investigate the culture and interlanguage stages effect on EFL students’ politeness in refusals. This study was a qualitative research. The data were taken from refusal expressions made by EFL Malay and Batak Junior high school students with initial stage (stage 1 interlanguage) and free variation stage (stage 2 interlanguage). The data of this study were collected by using elicitation techniques by using Discourse Completion Task (DCT), pictures and Interview. The number of the subjects involved in this study was taken by using snowball technique and the total number were twelve subjects. The results of this study showed that both culture and interlanguage stages affect the EFL students’ politeness in refusals. In Bataknese EFL students, the realization of politeness in refusal tends to be more affected by the culture rather than the interlanguage stages. While in Malay, culture and interlanguage stages have the same effect in the realization of politeness in refusals.Keywords: Culture, Effect, Interlanguage Stages,  Politeness, Refusals

According to Van Hiele, in understanding geometry, students need to understand five stages, namely stage 1 (introduction stage), stage 2 (analysis stage), stage 3 (sequencing stage), stage 4 (deduction stage), and stage 5 (accuracy stage). Each student has different geometric thinking abilities. This study aims to examine the geometric abilities of junior high school students in the material of flat-sided geometry according to Van Hiele's Theory. This research belongs to the type of qualitative research with a case study design. It was conducted at three schools in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The subjects were students of SMP Negeri 1 Padang, SMP Negeri 7 Padang, and SMP Negeri 25 Padang. Data collection was carried out using tests, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification or drawing conclusions. The data originality technique was carried out with the triangulation technique, where the researcher compared the test data with the results of interviews with students. Of the 94 students (male = 38, female 56) tested based on the geometric thinking level of Van Hiele Theory, 92.55% of the students reached the Van Hiele thinking stage at the visualization level. As many as 45.74% of students reached the level of geometric analysis, and 6.38% of students reached the level of abstraction. For the level of deduction and accuracy, no one has been able to solve the problem. The results obtained in this study are that most students are still at stages 1 and 2, unlike van Hiele's opinion, which revealed that the level of geometric thinking for junior high school students is at level 3. According to the study results, it is essential to carry out further checks on the level of geometric thinking of junior high school students in other areas.

Abstract Representation is the embodiment of a student's idea of a problem, and representation is used to assist students in solving the problem. This research is qualitative research that aims to analyze students' representational abilities in solving problems of a two-dimensional figure. The research instrument consisted of test questions with two-dimensional figure material and interviews. The research subjects were 2 junior high school students in Surabaya City who had different representational abilities. The results showed that students had moderate representational abilities because they gave rise to 2 indicators of representational ability, namely indicators of verbal and symbolic representation in different ways of conveying, but the two subjects had not yet produced indicators of visual representation.

Abstrak: Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan scaffolding dalam membantu siswa menyelesaikan soal penjumlahan dan pengurangan pecahan. Subjek adalah RN dan KS, siswa SMP yang sudah belajar tetapi mengalami masalah dalam menyelesaikan soal penjumlahan dan pengurangan pecahan. RN melakukan kesalahan prosedural terutama dalam mengubah pecahan campuran ke pecahan biasa dan dalam menentukan hasil akhir. KS cenderung seimbang dalam melakukan kesalahan konseptual dan prosedural.  KS melakukan kesalahan dalam menyamakan pembilang pada penyebut tertentu, sekaligus melakukan kesalahan dalam menghitung. Setelah pemberian scaffolding RN dan KS mampu memahami dan menyelesaikan soal penjumlahan dan pengurangan pecahan.Abstract: This descriptive qualitative research aims to describe scaffolding in helping students solve the problem of addition and subtraction of fractions. Subjects are RN and KS, junior high school students who have studied but have problems in solving the problem of addition and reduction of fractions. RN performs procedural errors especially in converting mixed fractions to regular fractions and in determining the final result. KS tends to be balanced in making conceptual and procedural errors. KS made a mistake in equating the numerator to a particular denominator, as well as making a mistake in calculating.
