Penelitian ini mengkaji seberapa jauh ‘strategi kesantuan’ diintegrasikan dalam model konversasi yang disajikan di tiga buah buku teks bahasa Inggris bagi Siswa Sekolah Dasar, Kelas 6. Dalam penelitian ini, masing-masing langkah (move) di konversasi dicocokkan dengan criteria strategi kesopanan (Leech 1983). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi kesopanan telah diadopsi ke dalam kelima buku yang diteliti dengan penggunaan non FTA yang sangat signifikan, dan hanya sedikit yang menggunakan FTA dengan tingkat yang berbeda. Dengan demikian, para guru harus selektif dalam menggunakan buku-buku teks dan harus ada kerjasama bagi yang terlibat dalam menyediakan buku-buku sekolah.}, issn = {23380683}, pages = {75--84} doi = {10.14710/parole.v3i1 April.75-84}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/parole/article/view/2476} }
