Abstract

This study is based upon Binglish (bahasa Indonesia-English) interaction setting and the speech act analysis used by EFL learners in Kampung Inggris Kediri, Indonesia whose aims are to see how leaners use kinds of speech acts, strategies to use speech acts, and reasons to select the speech acts. A pragmatic analysis implementing qualitative approach was used as the research design. This study involved 150 students, and 6 English teachers as participants in three settings English base camp, cafes, and Focus Group Discussion. Data were collected using questionnaire to achieve demographic background, observations, interview and document analysis. Results show that five kinds of speech acts, i.e. directive, declarative, commissive, expressive, assertive appear depending on students’ level of competence. Strategies of speech acts appear to define: apologizing, thanking, clarifying, refusing, complaining and informing. The fluency of speech acts is affected by the pragmatic competence and level of competences. It implies that teachers should design pragmatic competence to teach students and encourage students in variety of setting to maximize their awareness on pragmatic uses.
