In extract 1 , In the beginning of teaching-learning process (first meeting), English teacher entered the class and asked the leader to greet and be ready all students to study. All students greeted the teacher by said “good morning, Mom.”. the extract above showed that students employed positive politeness.
The students used identity marker “Mom” to call a female teacher who was considered as a respectable person althought the students sometime refused the Mom‟s wants, but they still showed their respect to teacher by using interpersonal marker “Mom”.
