Abstract

This paper aims to report the result of study about how male and female university students behave differently in five main issues of academic context, namely classroom management, turn taking, contribution chance, classroom setting, and students’ reaction toward teacher’s treatment. Males and females are considered to have a different way of implementing the politeness strategies. Various theories have been discussed in the sociolinguistics domain through the Gender and Politeness Theories. Considering Brown and Levinson’s politeness model and Lakoff’s idea on gender language tendency, this study does not only view gender and its relationship to the language used, but also describes how gender will be related to the politeness and social attitude matter. Sixty students were selected by using stratified randomized sampling method which considered EPT achievement and gender. The data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed by using descriptive quantitative method. The results imply that there were significant difference on questionnaire perception of politeness strategies between male and female which indicates that female may be more emotionally responsive than male.
