This study aims to describe: (1) the reality of language politeness among students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Al Amanah and (2) the learning models and methods within a deep learning approach that can be applied to foster students' awareness of polite language use. The research data consist of students' oral utterances during the learning process, language behavior in interactions with teachers and peers, and instructional documents containing activities related to the development of language politeness. Data sources were obtained through direct observation of classroom learning activities in the upper grades of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Al Amanah, interviews with classroom teachers and students' parents, as well as archives of instructional materials and teachers' reflective notes. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, with data validity ensured through source and technique triangulation as well as peer debriefing. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students' language politeness is contextual and dynamic, influenced by communication situations, emotional conditions, peer interactions, and exposure to digital media. Although students demonstrate an understanding of basic norms of polite language use, their application remains inconsistent across different interaction contexts. The implementation of a deep learning approach through Problem-Based Learning, reflective activities, collaborative discussions, and simulations of authentic communication situations has proven effective in fostering more meaningful and contextual awareness of polite language use. The role of teachers as facilitators and role models, supported by parental involvement, is a crucial factor in sustaining the development of students' language politeness.
