USING DIRECT AND INDIRECT REQUESTS IN THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOM
Abstract
This article is about teaching students to make polite requests using Direct and Indirect requests. Brown and Levinson have laid a lot of the foundation for politeness research (1978, 1987). Their Politeness Theory is regarded as a highly effective paradigm for analyzing politeness-related discourse. Even in its infancy, the theory has drawn a variety of objections. Japanese linguists Matsumoto and Ide (1988) and Intachakra (1989) made the most common suggestions, and Intachakra more recently made a criticism (2012). The framework's continued applicability in light of recent developments in sociolinguistic studies has also been a topic of ongoing discussion.
