What is the use of narrative? There are many kinds of narrative, is it right?

The instance above shows that the teacher utilized the act of suggesting. She proposed a suggestion for the students to go to the library if they need dictionary. The utterances were delivered in the form of declarative. These are categorized as directives since the teacher used the utterances to get the students do something. 4 Ordering Ordering is used to ask for something to be done. Ordering is similar to requesting but requesting is considered to be more polite. An example of ordering is expressed in the following example: The teacher and the students were having listening activity. She asked Indri as the first student to catch the words. The teacher, here, employed the illocutionary force of ordering. The teacher wanted her student to do something for her. In this case, the teacher asked Indri to catch the words said by the speaker. Her utterances were typified by the use of imperative form. Hence, it is included into the illocutionary force of ordering. The teacher ordered her students to do something using the direct speech acts because in classroom instruction the teacher tends to have higher position than the students.

T: Start from Indri. Try to catch the words that the speakers are saying.

the teacher played the recording M-29609:36-09:41 Another example of ordering is presented below: The teacher ordered her student to stop what she was doing because it was not related to her material. She performed the act of ordering directly and distinctly. It could be identified from the use of imperative forms. By performing the act directly, the imposition was maximized. This means that degree of obligation was higher than that of requesting. The teacher also produced another act of ordering as shown below: The teacher ordered the students to open the book about the elements of the story. Just like the previous examples, the teacher performed the act of ordering directly with the use of imperative form. However, in this example, she employed the word “please” to soften the demand. 5 Reminding The purpose of reminding is to make someone think of something they have forgotten or might have forgotten. Here is one example of the act of reminding employed by the teacher when she was involved in the English teaching and learning process: T: Gita, what are you doing? Gita kept silent T: Keep it because we don’t need that. That is Pak Eko’s material, not Bu RK’s material. Just keep it. M-454601:47-01:56
