conversation. Based on the previous statements, it can be stated that the channel
used in the dialogue is phonic. For instance: Shanti : She knows your phone number,
doesn’t she? Dona : Yes, she does
The above example shows that Dona demands information. She uses tag question to
expect that the information will be confirmed. The confirmation is done when Dona responds
Shanti’s proposition. The response “Yes, she does” signals the response of Shanti’s
proposition.

directed.”The dog” is the goal. Besides material, there is also relational process as

Short-term goal:
Identifying of what someone is doing
The first w-h question of the dialogue has been foregrounded by relational process such
as; attributive and identifying. The relational process such as :
Santi : Who’s that man? Sinta : He is my father.
The use of present tense indicates the truth
Long-term goal
Asking and giving information about the
identification of a person and recognizing what
father is doing to accomplish a certain
action condition in the dialogue. It supports the
process of identifying process. Sinta gives information that the man is his father.
However; The material process used in the dialogue supports the action which is
conducted by the actor. It also uses the present tense to indicate the present action. The short-
term goal of the dialogue is the ability of the student to identify who the man is and what the
man is doing. In addition, the foregrounding underlies the importance of the long-term goal.
It means the long term-goal of the dialogue makes the student able to ask and give
information about someone. One of the students asks about the man and it refers to the
father. The students want to know what the father is doing. Another student supplies the
information by saying that the father is feeding his dog. The long-term goal indicates that one
of the participants in dialogue has recognized the man and what the man is doing. However,
there is no mental process found in the dialogue. This dialogue omits the father or him
as a senser. It is just a description and identification.
