51 second speech was delivered in World Economic Forum on East Asia held from 19-
21 April 2015 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Both speeches were delivered in English. In making these speeches, Jokowi was helped by a certain team of which members
include the Head of the Presidential Staff, The Minister of Foreign Affair, The Minister of State Secretariat and some other ministers.
The two speeches were selected as the objects of the research because the speeches were delivered in a the world forum which promote the economic prosperity
of the nations. The main agenda of Jokowi as the seventh president of Indonesia is to boost the economic condition in Indonesia. With regard to this, speech in the
bussiness forum becomes an important media for Jokowi to socialize his agenda as well as persuade the relevant parties to collaborate in achieving the economic
prosperity. Also, the languages utilized in political speeches are characterized by the intention of the speakers to persuade, build image, or influence people. Therefore,
speeches were interested to be analyzed.
C. Data Analysis Techniques
The next process, after data collection, was data analysis. According to Moleong 2000, data analysis is a process of organizing and classifying data into
certain pattern, category and basic unit of analysis so that the theme can be found and working hypothesis suggested by the data can be formulated. The goals of the data
analysis are to summarize the data and to present them, thus, they can be better comprehended, interpreted, or related to some decision the user wishes to make.
52 The data in this research were analyzed using qualitative method. Miles and
Huberman 1992 state that qualitative method refers to a kind of analysis method with the data in the form of words not number; qualitative method provides a
wide descriptive of process happening in the field being observed. There were some steps of analysing the data in this research. The first step was transcribing the
speeches by listening the downloaded speeches and typing it in Microsoft Word. The second step was reading the transcribed speeches carefully and sorting them by
looking for units of words, phrases, and sentences. In this step, the researcher underlined the significant data that were appropriate with the research topics.
The next step was categorizing the data based on speech acts classification proposed by Austin 1962 and Searle 2005 which consisted of representatives;
directives; commissives; expressives; and declaratives. In this step, the researcher put all units having the same coding together. In reference, to the categorization of the
data, the researchers observed and calculated the occurence frequency of speech acts in order that the data were easily read as illustrated in the following table.

The categorization of speech acts was, then, deeply observed to find the answer of the second and third research questions. The final step was presenting the
53 data. In this case, the researcher employed informal and formal methods of data
presentation as proposed by Sudaryanto 1993. According to him, informal refers to the method of presenting the analyzed data using words while formal methods refer
to the presentation of the analyzed data using symbols, diagrams, figures, and tables artificial language. With regard to this, the data were presented in the forms of
phrases and sentences that are put in tables.
