CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the introductory elements of the research that are described the importance of understanding the use of speech acts in the communication, especially in the process of transferring knowledge from the lecturer to the students.

A.  Background of Study

Communication is the key point in the social activities, especially in the teaching and learning process. In lecturing process, communication between the lecturer and the students also regarded as the important element to perform an effective  learning.

In  communicating  with  the  students,  the  lecturers  will produce some utterances in order to convey the materials through their speech. In this typical situation of speech that involves the lecturer as the speaker and the students as the hearers, the acts of the lecturer‟s utterances are varied (Bach,1994:1). Such acts of speech in communication are further called speech acts, which are defined as the acts of speech of the speaker in the relationship to the hearers. It is not only the matter of the words which are uttered by the speaker, but it also relates to the speaker‟s intentions to the hearers (Bach, 1994:1). Baca Juga: Skripsi Logico Semantic.

All of the explanations above are the writer‟s intention in order to find out the types of speech acts that are used by the lecturers in their lecturing process.  Speech  acts  are  communicative  activities  refer  to  the  intention  of speakers and the effect achieved on the listeners. Therefore, when the writer studies the intention of speech acts used by the lecturers as the speakers, it will also used to find out the effects achieved by the students as the listeners at once. It is also beneficial to discover the types of speech acts used by the lecturers in the teaching and learning process. When the lecturers conduct the lecturing  process,  they  have  some  intentions  in  their  speech,  directly  or indirectly, and literal or non-literally spoken in their words. For that reason, the writer wants to dig into the lecturers‟ intention in their lecturing from their speech acts.

It will be continued in the further information about the illocutionary force of speech acts implementation towards the students‟ intention. So that it will relate to the students‟ responses in accepting the materials given by the lecturers. If the students comprehend what their lecturer‟s say, it means that the use of the speech acts is effective, i.e has no speech acts failure, although the intentions conveyed indirectly and non-literally.

By knowing this relationship, hopefully it will help the lecturers find out the implementation of speech acts that are used in their lecturing; so that the writer will not only find out the type of speech acts that is commonly used by the lecturers but also to discover the illocutionary force of the use of the lecturers‟ speech acts in the relation with the students‟ responses.

For that reason, the writer intend to study a problem dealing with the lecturers‟ speech  acts  entitled  “Speech Acts Analysis on Teaching and Learning Process in the Regular Classes Used by the Lecturers of the Sixth Semester in English Department of STAIN Salatiga”.
