This study examines politeness strategies used by the native English teacher. It aims to identify the use of politeness strategies realized by </em><em>the native </em><em>English teacher in class</em><em>room</em><em> interaction. This research was qualitative research method. The participant of the research was one native English teacher who taught EFL students in a university in Indonesia. The data were obtained through the class observation. Those data </em><em>then </em><em>were analyzed by using politeness theory proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987). The result revealed that all politeness strategies suggested by Brown and Levinson </em><em>(1987) </em><em>were applied by the teacher in delivering his speech to the students, such as bald on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off record. </em><em>Negative politeness became the most dominant politeness strategy performed by the native English teacher while the least one was off record. </em><em>These </em><em>four </em><em>strategies were mostly employed by the teacher in order to remind the students, give them commands (task-oriented), </em><em>praise the students</em><em>, request the students to do something, make the class more interesting, and motivate the students.</em></p> ER -
