<p>English language classrooms as real language settings provide ample linguistic data, be they produced by the teachers or the students, as there are some interactions in exchanging thoughts, feelings, or ideas. Speech acts theory indicates that in using the language, people not only create an isolated series of sentences, but also carry out actions by either doing something or making others do something. By using classroom observations conducted in twelve English language classrooms, this study seeks to describe types of sentence forms and kinds of strategies used by the teachers in giving order. The findings indicate that the teachers in the Department of English, Universitas Negeri Malang, who are in a position of authority over the students, do not always impose on their students in making them do what the teachers want them to do. Even though the interactions in the classrooms are not equal as the amount of teacher talk dominates the teaching and learning process, the students (as the hearer) are aware that they should adhere to the teachers’ speech acts of ordering to be successful in their study.     <strong></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>English language classrooms, speech acts theory, directives, sentence forms, speech acts strategies. </em></p>

Speech act is an action performed via utterances. This study investigated the types and functions of speech acts used by the seventh-grade English teacher at SMPN 2 Bangli by adopting Searle’s theory. The data were obtained through classroom observation and semi-structured interview. The data were analysed qualitatively by using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. It was found out that there were five types of speech acts used by the teacher, namely representative, directive, expressive, commissive, and declaration in which directive (47.52%) was dominantly used by the teacher, while the declaration was the one which was less produced (0.71%). Among the functions of directive act, commanding appeared the most (44.40%), while naming and declaring were in the same amount in declaration type (50%). The teacher’s directive acts proved that she played her role to manage the classroom instructional system, to counsel the students and their learning, to instruct and to assess. However, the teacher, who also acted as the homeroom teacher and was in authority during the English lesson, performed the declaration act to change some situations in the classroom.
