Abstract
The conversational maxims (MP) proposed by Grice (1975) aims to ensure that communication can run smoothly when the MP are observed. This does not happen in reality and was proven in the #NoTapis podcast (#NoTapis, 2020). #NoTapis is an interview with a doctor about COVID-19. This research’s analysis applied qualitative methods-download, transcription and text analysis. The analysis’ objectives were to identify the observance and non-observance of MP; and to discuss the observance of MP correlated to educational elements, i.e cognitive and affective domains in Bloom's (1956) taxonomy. The second objective is based on the Gary’s (2020) view which stipulates that podcasts have educational content. The findings showed that the observance of MP correlated with cognitive and affective domains. Correlation in the cognitive domain occurs at all levels except on level 5 while for the affective domain correlation occurs at all levels. The observance of MP is found to always be correlated with the lowest level to the higher level of domain. These findings fits the statement that teaching and learning (PdP) is a process. In this podcast, the doctor act as the "teacher" while podcast listeners are the "students". © 2021, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. All rights reserved.
