Language should be learned in the cultural context of its speakers.
This is because the speakers bring an intention in performing a linguistic act.
Failure in understanding the intention of the speakers will lead to failure in
responding to the intended message and, thus, failure in using the language.
The study of how language is used in a particular context or situation is the
focus of pragmatics. An important pragmatic issue concerns with politeness,
i.e. showing awareness of another person's public self-image. This article
highlights the politeness phenomena and the degree of success in learning
English. The issues discussed include the definition of politeness, strategies of
politeness, politeness in the Oriental cultures, politeness in the context of
Indonesian cultures, and the implication of politeness phenomena in the
teaching of English.
