| Summary: | This study is concerned with revealing Iraqi EFL learners' use of the speech act of reprimand. It is composed of four sections, the first of which is dedicated to give an introduction about the study such as the problem, the aims and the hypotheses, the second is to present a theoretical survey about the speech act in question, the third is about collecting and analyzing data, and the fourth section is concerned with the conclusions. A two-part test consisting of 20 situations in each is designed to measure PhD and MA learners' recognition and production of reprimand. On the recognition level, a model by Garcia (2004) is used, while on the production level, their performance is compared to the performance of four native English speakers.
