Abstract

This research aims to: (1) identify and describe speech acts in the film of Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and (2) explain ways to apply the speech acts in ELT. The speech acts are those that suit to the language functions in KTSP and 2013 curriculum for junior high school. This study employed a qualitative approach. The data were described and analyzed qualitatively. The research object consisted of the utterances in the film. The theory of speech acts classification proposed by Searle was used to identify the data. The data were collected through an observation of the film in the form of speech acts functions that suit to the language functions in the curriculums. The data were classified based on the speech act classification. After being classified, the data were analyzed using a qualitative analysis based on the theories of speech acts. The explanation of the application was done by relating the speech acts in the film to the students’ use of utterances in creating a communication in ELT. The research findings reveal that there are many speech acts functions in the film matching with the language functions in KTSP and 2013 Curriculum. There are directive, expressive, representative, and commissive speech acts found in the film. Directive speech act includes commanding and ordering, requesting, inviting, suggesting, prohibiting, and begging. Expressive speech act includes parting, thanking, congratulating, liking and disliking, greeting, apologizing, complimenting and admiring, agreeing and disagreeing, doubting, and refusing. Representative speech act includes convincing, informing, and giving fact or opinion. Commissive speech act includes promising and offering. Among the speech acts functions found, commanding and ordering are the most functions occurring in the film. The application of the speech acts functions in ELT is done by making use of the utterances in the film to express the language functions in the KTSP and 2013 Curriculum. The utterances are imitated by doing some words modification according to the intended context, but in the same utterances structures. The applications are in the form of conversation during ELT and in the form of a role play that is practiced by the students in ELT.
