CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the background of the study, statement of problem, purpose of study, significance of study, scope and limitation, and definition of key terms.
1.1Background of the Study
English is an international language. It is used for communication among people in the world. Communication has an important role in delivering
information and share ideas. Hybels and Weaver (in Susilowati: 2005) state that communication is any process in which people share information, ideas, and feeling. We need to communicate with other people, communication cannot be separated from everyone daily activity.
By learning English, it will be easy for us to share information with people from other countries with their different cultures. Each country has its own
culture. Therefore, it is important for us to learn about culture from other
countries, especially for the students who want to continue their study abroad. The understanding about the culture can help the students to avoid the culture shock that might happen.
Learning English is also important to get a job. Nowadays, many foreign companies develop their business in Indonesia. English is being the first
2
Moreover, in this global era world of science and technology is very fast in its development. People are used to living with sophisticated technology that makes their life easy. Most of the science and technology created by researchers are mostly written in English. By mastering English, it will be easy to get the newest information. So, learning English is very important.
In education institution, the process of teaching English has an important role. Because of this importance, we need curriculum. Curriculum can be used as reference in education system. Curriculum is also useful for students to develop their skill and their capability, especially in English curriculum.
There are some aspects that should be prepared in teaching English. The first is lesson plan. Lesson plan is needed by the teacher to guide the students. By lesson plan, a teacher can apply the course cooperatively regarding to what the students do related to the topic that will be learned.
The second is using media. English is not our own language, so a teacher needs media to help the students to understand the lesson. Media can help the teacher to explain the material easily. It also can make the lesson more interesting, so the process of teaching learning can be done more effectively.

Teaching and learning English in Senior High School contains speech act. Speech act is a technical term in linguistics and the philosophy of language. In general, speech act is an act of communication. The contemporary use of the term goes back to John L. Austin’s doctrine of locutionary, illocutionary, and
perlocutionary acts. Locutionary acts is dimension of language (phonetics, syntax, and semantics) with which linguists have traditionally been concerned. Austin definition, locutionary act is roughly equivalent to uttering a certain sense and reference, which again is roughly equivalent to meaning in the traditional sense. Normally, a locution demands that speaker and listener have knowledge of the grammar, lexicon, semantic and phonology of language. An illocutionary act is a complete speech act and made in a typical utterance, that consists of the delivery of the propositional content of the utterance (including reference and predicate) and a particular illocutionary force, whereby the speaker asserts, suggests,
demands, promises, or vows. A perlocutionary act is a speech act that produces an effect, intended or not, achieved in an addressed by a speaker’s utterance, for example are persuading, convincing, scaring, insulting, and getting the addresses to do something (www.answer.com/topic/speech-act-teory).
Based on KTSP curriculum, speech act that should be taught by the teacher for students of first year Senior High School are greeting, accepting invitation, showing sympathy, making and canceling appointment, expressing happiness, and expressing attention.
4
informal greeting, for example: Morning, Jim! (informal greeting), and Good Morning, sir (formal greeting).
Accepting invitation speech act is a request (spoken or written) to participate or be present or take part in something. The example of accepting invitation are: “Would you like to go to the theater with me on Saturday night?’(formal invitation), “Let’s go to the party”(informal invitation).
Showing sympathy speech act is a feeling or an expression of pity or sorrow for the distress of another. The expression of sympathy is also divided into formal and informal, for example : I am sorry to hear that your little cat died (informal), Please accept my condolences (formal).
Accepting and canceling appointment speech act is an arrangement and canceling to meet a person or be at a place at a certain time. The example of accepting and canceling appointment are: sure, why not, yes, think I can’t…., I really want to, but……., I am sorry to tell you, but I think I can’t…….
Expressing happiness speech act is enjoying, showing or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy. There are two kinds of expressing happiness. They are formal and informal, for example “I can’t say how pleased I am”(formal) and “Fantastic!(informal).
Showing attention speech act is a courteous act indicating affection. The example are “May I have your attention, please! (formal) and “Hey!” (informal).

Fauzuddin (2004) observed an analysis of speech acts in the dialogue of senior high school English textbook viewed from contextual teaching and learning. The result showed that the highest types and meaning that are used by the dialogues does is representative. From the 187 illocutionary speech act, 65 (34.75%) are representative type, 59 (31.55%) are directive type, 49 (26.20) are expressive type and 14 (7.48%) are commissive type. Whereas in term of form, most of them use declarative. In addition, in terms of how they are presented in the dialogues, literal and direct acts are the most highly used. Out of 187 speech acts, the found in the dialogues, there are 173 (92.51%) utterances performed literally and indirectly. Meanwhile, there are only 4 (2.13%) speech act performed in nonliteral and direct acts, 5 (2.67%) speech acts performed in literal and
indirect acts, and 5 (2.67%) speech acts performed in nonliteral and indirect act. Megawati (2009) observed the speech acts produced by the female main character in Suami-Suami Takut Istri. Her research showed that the types of speech acts produced by female main character was representative, expressive, directives, commissives, and rogatives. The writer also found the similarity and the differences of Bu RT’s speech acts in her conversation with her male and her female neighbors. Moreover, there was a finding that if someone failed to deliver his or her speech acts especially the illocutionary act and the perlocutionary act, it might cause a conflict or misunderstanding in his or her conversation.
