3.8.1. Encoding Indicators of the Standard of Content
The standard of content suggests some indicators for the junior high school students to achieve speech function in learning speaking. For the sake of
effective identification of the indicators of speech function in the standard of content, it is necessary to encode the indicators. These indicators are divided into
two categories of conversation. They are transactional and interpersonal conversation. Figure 4 below is the speech function indicators of the standard of
content and their codes that the students of junior high school, grade VII should achieve in transactional and interpersonal conversation.
Table 2. The Codification of Speech Function Indicators From the English Textbook
I . Transactional Conversation CODE
INDICATORS REALIZATION AND FUNCTION
A giving instruction
realized by command and its function is to give instruction

someone realized
by command and its function is to prohibit someone

D expressing thanks
realized by statement and its function is to express thanks
E saying sorry
realized by statement and its function is to say sorry
F asking for service
realized by questions and its function is to ask for service
G giving service
realized by key ‘yes’ or ‘no’ items and their variants and its function is to give service
H asking for things

II . Interpersonal Conversation
CODE INDICATORS
REALIZATION AND FUNCTION A
expressing greeting realized by a closed class of items which
form the first-pair parts of the adjacency pairs used in the rituals of greeting and its
function is to express greeting
B expressing parting

form the first-pair parts of the adjacency pairs used in the rituals of leave-taking and
59
its function is to express parting
C introducing oneself
realized by statement and its function
is to introduce oneself D introducing
others realized
by statement and its function is to introduce others
E expressing politeness

politeness
F responding
interpersonally or daily routines
realized by ‘mm’, ‘yeah’ and low or mid key ‘echoes’ and its function is
to respond interpersonally or daily routines
Suppose a move is given a code I.A, it means that the move is the part of transactional conversations and the speech function is to give instruction. The
criteria of conformity of speech function introduced in the standard of content can be compared with the moves which are realized in the clauses of the conversation
texts.
