| Abstract: | This study examined the linguistics aspects of the lecture discourse, namely the lecturer’s use of various types of speech acts, the syntactic realizations of these speech acts. The presentation of the qualitative information of the kinds of speech acts used in lectures were illustrated by examples quoted from transcripts of lectures chosen from TOEFL iBT listening passages and those from online electronic texts. Data were collected from 100 extracts of TOEFL iBT recordings. The data analysis showed different speech acts bringing about different performative forces that helped lecturers use language to fulfill the ultimate purpose of imparting knowledge effectively and flexibly. Taking those advantages, some recommendations on effective techniques of using language were also made. On the basis of the findings, some implications for teaching and learning in English were suggested concerning the comprehending of lectures in English. Pedagogically, the research result can be useful for educators, lecturers, teachers and learners of English, as well as those who are interested in lectures, especially lectures in English. |
