Abstract

This research aims to identify the types of illocutionary acts used in Speaking classes and to analyze how students respond to them. The study was conducted at the English Study Program of IAIN Curup using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through direct classroom observation in three second-semester classes. The findings indicate that the most dominant types of illocutionary acts used by the lecturers were directive and representative, which reflect the lecturers' active role in giving instructions and providing information to the students. Meanwhile, the students’ responses varied. Most students tended to be passive, especially in classes with lower levels of language proficiency and confidence. Only two of the three classes showed more active and participative responses. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for lecturers in improving communication strategies in Speaking classes, as well as to encourage students to be more active and responsive in classroom communication activities. it is hoped that teaching strategies that enhance students' responses to speech acts will be examined for future research. Keywords: illocutionary acts, speaking class, English Study Program.
