Abstract

This study aims to describe the types and functions of modality in Malay language used by the people of Kampung Tua Tanjung Riau, Batam, in daily interaction and communication. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive method. The data is in the form of community speech containing modality, obtained through free listening, recording, and note-taking techniques. Data validity was tested through triangulation, and analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that people use four types of modality, namely intensional, epistemic, deontic, and dynamic. Intentional modality is the most dominant type, especially in the meaning of volitional. In addition, three main functions of modality in community communication were found. This finding indicates that people consciously utilize modality as an important part of interaction. The conclusion of this study states that modality has a central role in the communication system of the community of Kampung Tua Tanjung Riau. Tanjung Riau Malay language has a distinctive and rich modality system, which reflects the culture and way of thinking of its speakers. This research is expected to be a contribution to the preservation and development of regional linguistic studies, as well as a reference for further research in the field of local language and culture.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of directive speech acts used by teachers in Indonesian language learning interactions at SMA Negeri 15 Padang and explain their use across the opening, core, and closing stages of instruction. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, data were obtained from the utterances of Indonesian language teachers in grades X and XI through non-participant observation, audio recording, and note-taking. A total of 186 utterances containing directive speech acts were identified. The analysis employed Searle’s taxonomy of speech acts and Hymes’s Speaking framework to examine linguistic forms and their contextual use. Data validity was ensured through triangulation, and data analysis involved reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The study identified six types of directive speech acts: telling, inviting, asking, pleading, advising, and forbidding. "Telling" appeared most frequently, especially during the core learning stage, while "inviting" and "asking" were common in the opening and closing stages to create a participatory and supportive classroom atmosphere. These findings suggest that teachers strategically use directive speech acts according to the phase of instruction and learning goals. The study concludes that directive speech acts play a vital role in managing classroom interactions and enhancing learning effectiveness. Teachers act not only as conveyors of knowledge but also as interaction managers through the use of purposeful and polite language. This underscores the importance of pragmatic competence in effective teaching, particularly in the context of Indonesian language education.
