There are turn taking strategies proposed by Strensom 1994: 68-80. Those strategies are taking the turn, holding the turn, and yielding the turn. The first strategy, taking the turn strategy, consists of starting up, taking over, and interrupting techniques. The second strategy, holding the turn, consists of filled pause, verbal filler, and silent pause techniques. The last strategy, yielding the turn, consists of prompting, appealing, and giving up techniques. 2.2.2.3.1 Taking the Turn Taking the turn is done by the listener who takes the turn from the current speaker when the current speaker is talking or finishing hisher talk. This strategy consists of three techniques, namely starting up, taking over, and interrupting techniques. Starting up technique is a technique that gives a few times for the listener to prepare or have prepared what is discussing next through clean start and hesitant start in the beginning of conversation. Taking over technique appears when the current speaker has finished hisher utterance and she can point hisher interlocutor to be the next speaker by up taking forces the other speaker. Interrupting technique occurs when the current speaker does not give an opportunity for the other speaker to give response. This technique is considered an impolite act because the speaker does not finish a talk, then the other speaker has taken hisher turn taking.
