This study uses discourse analysis with a speech act approach. This research found that referential function types accompanied by conative functions and metalinguistic functions. Based on discourse production, referential function types can be classified in knowledge-telling and knowledge-transforming models. There are three patterns of teacher explanations based on information: (1) the delivery of information, (2) the use of information, and (3) the produce of information; There are several types found based on these three types; (1) informative-assertive, (2) suggestive-reflective, (3) informative-imperative, (4) Informative-interpretive, (5) Illustrative-Applicative, and (6) Solutive-suggestive. This research is an overview of the referential function types that are appropriate to be applied in learning process.
