Abstract
This research was conducted with the aim of investigating rebuke speech acts in student interactions during practicing class using pragmatic approach and politeness strategies. Human beings can never be separated from the use of oral language in the form of speech acts. One of the interesting events to study and analyze language pragmatics is by observing how students relate in academic environments. This is necessary due to the importance of speech act in communication through the use of spoken language. This research was conducted qualitatively using a pragmatic theory approach and 100 students participating in a practical class were selected randomly as subjects of the research. The data used include the students' speeches during the violation of practice procedures in the laboratory and the data collection techniques used were open questionnaires through the Discourse Complete Test (DCT) involving 10 types of real situations. The data obtained were analyzed using Searle's speech act and Brown and Levinson's politeness strategy theories. The results indicated the existence of greatest tendency for rebuke expressive speech acts, which violate politeness strategies.

In this case, the speaker expects the speech partner to capture the meaning intended. The speaker expects the speech partner to capture the meaning intended Among these three, illocutionary act has received much attention from this paper [3], and it was divided into five types including assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declaration speech acts.
