Abstract


Politeness is a part of human life. One of the politeness phenomena is interested to be investigated which is made by lecturers and students interaction. To communicate politely using technology, it is necessary to be conducted a research. To be polite is not only for the students but also to lecturers when they are conducting an interaction using technology, (WhatsApp). The research questions are formulated as the following; a. what kinds of politeness strategies used by lecturers and students when they conducted an interaction using technology (WhatsApp)? b. What is the most dominant politeness strategies used by lecturers and students? C.Why did lecturers and students use politeness strategies differently in their written communication using technology, (WhatsApp)? This study used the theory of politeness strategies developed by Brown and Levinson, (1987) further, developed by Faerch and Kasper, (1989). This theory recently used by many previous researchers, among of them is Karimkhan looei and NargesVaezi, (2017). This is a field qualitative research. This study investigated 141 moves of WhatsApp texts made by EFL lecturers and students. The findings stated that students are more polite than lecturers in conducting their written communication using technology. It happened because lecturers have higher position in their relationship; further lecturers are also in different age from the students. Most Indonesian EFL learners are preferred to respect their lecturers. On the other sides, researchers suggested not only students should be polite to their lecturers but also lecturers are necessary as a role of model being polite. Furthermore, students and lecturers are to be polite not only inside the classroom but also in the society.
