Identification of The Problem
solutions to overcome this problem is by giving them the examples of a good speech. However, in understanding a speech, students, especially the non-
native ones, often create various interpretations upon the speeches. It is not only because of the communication barriers such as but not limited to
grammar, vocabularies, spelling etc. but it is also because of the complex language pattern of language variety.
The problem mentioned above showed that the students of English Education Department had low English mastery because they could not
construct the language in the effective way. It was proven by the fact that many of the students still could not clearly convey the idea of their speech.
They tended to be rambling and could not speak to the point. They also could not perfectly perceive the idea that was tried to be delivered by a speaker.
Sometimes, students totally did not know what the speaker was trying to say and sometimes they had wrong interpretations.
It has been known that the mastery of pragmatics is very important in the communication skill because when the students are aware of the
pragmatics, it will be easy for them to understan d the speaker’s meaning.
Thus, it will prevent them from having the wrong interpretations. Furthermore it will also help them to know what kind of appropriate
expressions to respond to and express something such as asking for a help, showing angry, happy, doubts feeling and so forth. Unfortunately, in the
status quo right now many students just copy and paste the expression that they memorize from books
. Meaninglessly mimicking the memorized
expression indicates that the students have yet to fully understand the meaning of the language and how to properly use it. Having a good
communication skills means to know and understand the meaning and the proper use of the language.
When students analyzed a speech, sometimes they could not get the full meaning because they forgot to link the utterances with the context of
the speech. It is also needed to know the context of where the speech is delivered because different context creates different influences as well.
Studying the context of the speech, like the culture and habit e.g. their language use, their wisdoms, their social lives, and so forth is important in
order to analyze the speech comprehensibly. Therefore, it is very needed to have this research because it analyzed a speech based on the language
pattern, expression and context of the speech.
