on Saturday. SMA N 1 Purworejo sent some representatives to join the culture parade. Thus, the teacher predicted that the students would go home earlier on Saturday. In delivering her utterances, however, the teacher was not very sure since there was not an official announcement about that. Thus, the teacher used the word “perhaps” that indicates that she was not that sure about her prediction. The word “perhaps” also indicates that something is possible to happen in the near future. In conclusion, the teacher’s utterance is classified as representative with the illocutionary act of predicting since it shows one’s belief about the truth of proposition. It also involves the fact that a prediction must be about the future which was indicated by the use of modal “will”. 5 Confirming The purpose of confirming is to establish the truth or correctness of something previously believed to be the case. This illocutionary force appeared in 52 utterances. Here is one of the examples of confirming: During the meeting, the teacher and the students had listening section. The teacher had previously ordered the students to listen to the recording and catch the words of what the speaker said. At this time, the teacher asked one of her students named Amalia to listen to the recording and repeat the words T: Interest. There must be a preposition there. Depend? Depend? Ss: On… on.

T: They do lots of things depend on their interest.

M-212415:52-15:56 uttered by the speaker in the recording. After several attempts, Amalia finally repeated what the speaker uttered correctly. Then, the teacher confirmed that Amalia’s answer was correct. The teacher produced the confirming illocutionary force by repeating the same exact words of the speaker. She uttered the utterances affirmatively. The confirming illocutionary force can also be found in the following utterance: In the example above, the teacher confirmed the right answer. The utterance above was the teacher’s response to one of her students, Affan who had just caught the missing word correctly. The teacher confirmed that Affan’s answer was correct. It was marked by the use of the words “Yes” and the emphasis on the repeating word “attentively”. This was done to verify and to make it clear that the word needed was “attentively”, not something else. Thus, the utterance above is classified as confirming illocutionary force since it carried the teacher’s belief about something to be the case or not. Another example of confirming is illustrated below: T: He always listens to me. What is it? S: Attentively. T: Yes. Very good, Affan. Attentively.

T: Yes. Attentively. Listen to me attentively.

M-222333:49-33:52 S: I like playing badminton. T: OK. I like playing badminton. M-213016:49-16:51 Just like the previous examples, the teacher performed confirming during the listening activity. The teacher produced confirming by presupposing the utterance with the same propositional content that has already performed by one of her students with some emphasis on the repeated utterance . This was done to establish an approval more clearly. 6 Informing The goal of informing is to tell someone about certain facts they do not know. Informing occurred in 43 utterances in this study. An example of informing is as follows: The example above shows that the teacher gave information about something. She informed the students that it would be their last meeting of the first semester. Then, she told her students that they were going to have writing session for this last meeting and she would take the writing score from them since they did not have the score for writing yet. The act of informing produced by the teacher above was expressed in the declarative form. It is understandable because informing belongs to representatives which carry the speaker’s belief about something to be the case or not. Moreover, when one informs something to people, they usually assert the information in the form of declarative. T: Well, today I need a score about writing because you haven’t had the writing. It means that I must take the writing score from you. M-351200:41-00:52 Another example of informing can be found in the following utterance: The teacher asked the students the meaning of take place. None of them knew its meaning in Indonesian.Thus, the teacher told them the right meaning. The teacher’s utterance belongs to representative since the direction of fit was words to world and she stated what she believed in. Moreover, the act was performed in the form of declarative. Similarly, an act of informing is exemplified in the following utterance: Just like the preceding example, the teacher was in the attempt of informing the students about the Indonesian equivalent of the word “in which” to which the student did not know. Hence, the teacher’s utterance is classified as representative that functions as informing because it carried the teacher’s belief about the expressed proposition. Moreover, the utterance was also performed in declarative. 7 Disagreeing Disagreeing is used by the speaker to express hisher disagreement toward an idea. It belongs to representatives because it conveys one’s belief about the T: Take place. Sinonimnya apa? What is the synonym? The students kept silent.

T: Take place means terjadi. M-462013:44-13:45

S: Place and time in which the story takes place. the student read T: Can you make it into Indonesian? S: Waktu dan tempat. Place and time.

T: In which means dimana. S: Dimana. In which
