Keywords: pragmatics, request act, request strategy People need language when they are motivated to express their ideas, feelings and thoughts or when they communicate one and another. However, language will serve its meaning if only there are people who apply the language, and the process must be settled in the proper context. Actions performed via utterances are generally called speech acts and, in English, are commonly given more specific labels, such as apology, complaint, invitation, promise, or request. Request strategy as one of pragmatic phenomena proves the ability of speakers not only in the language but also in applying the language in context. From the discussion above, the researcher intended to study on how request strategy happened and the sentence pattern used by the native speakers. The main objective of this research is to give the authentic material for the speaking class. The formulation of research problems were: 1) what request strategy is employed by speakers in conversations occurring in the movie entitled Divergent? 2) how are the formal patterns of the request strategy as employed in the conversations occurring in the movie entitled Divergent? The purpose of this study were to: 1) know what strategies that are used in request acts in conversation in movie entitled Divergent 2) know how formal patterns of the request strategy as employed in the conversations occurring in the movie entitled Divergent. The research design of this study was qualitative approach which employed content analysis. It is intended to investigate those two formulation of research problems in relation to request strategies. The data source were all utterances in conversation of Divergent movie subtitles along with their contexts derived from the movie scenes. The data were all utterances in conversation of Divergent movie subtitles containing requestive acts. The result showed that: 1) mood derivable, suggestory formulae, obligation statement, mild hints, want statement, mild hints, query preparatory, hedged performative, and explicit performative, 2) in mood derivable strategy found 160 structure applied positive verbal pattern, 6 structure applied negative verbal pattern; 1 utterance in explicit performative applied positive verbal pattern; in hedged performative found 1 structure applied WH-question, 1 structure applied question tag, 1 structure applied positive verbal pattern (if-clause); in obligation statement strategy found 16 structure applied positive verbal pattern, 1 structure applied negative verbal pattern; in want statement strategy found 5 structure applied positive verbal sentence, 2 utterance applied negative verbal pattern; in suggestory formulae strategy found 12 structures applied positive verbal pattern, 7 structures applied negative verbal pattern; in query preparatory vii found 4 structures applied positive verbal pattern; in strong hints strategy found 3 utterances applied positive nominal pattern, 2 utterances applied positive verbal pattern; in mild hints strategy found 5 structures applied positive verbal pattern, 2 structures applied positive nominal pattern, and 1 structure applied negative verbal pattern. Based on the result of the study, the researcher wants to give suggestion for the students, teacher, and future researcher. The students can observe further about kinds of strategies that can be used in their way in delivering the request. The teacher may take some examples to teach speaking, especially in the ways of request. The future researcher are suggested to develop their study in more specific strategy in requesting which is still being rarely to be analyzed like hints strategy.
