Abstract

ABSTRACT Amrullah, T. 2018. Politeness Strategies in Refusal Expressed by Students of English Study Program of Jambi University. Thesis. English Education Study Program. Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Jambi University in Academic Year 2017/2018. The first supervisor is Melati, S.Pd., M.C.C. The second supervisor is Nely Arif, S.Pd., M.Pd. Politeness is important social behavior in every kind of communication. Moreover, the speech act of refusal is intrinsically face threatening acts, or in the other meaning is her/his freedom of action is impeded. Therefore, the speaker to a higher or lower extent threats the hearer’s face, hence, there is a need to put politeness strategies into action in order to mitigate the threats, in other words, to soften what the hearer might regard as an impingement on him/her. This research aimed to figure out what kind of politeness strategies that are used by Students of English Study Program of Jambi University. Six students were chosen based on their discourse analysis score in fifth semester. Descriptive case study was chosen as research design and the data were collected from the six Oral Discourse Completion Tests (ODCTs) situations given to the students. The result showed that all of the students frequently used positive politeness strategy rather than negative politeness strategy, bald on record strategy and off-record strategy. However, some the students transfer their source language (L1) to target language (L2) while doing the Oral Discourse Completion Tests (ODCTs). Thus, the students need to be enhanced more about grammatical competence, so they can have good ability to recognize and to produce an effective communication. Key words: speech act, politeness, refusal.
