Keywords: pragmatics, context, speech act, directive acts Language becomes the most important tool in communication, without language people cannot communicate one to other. However, when we communicate to other, we cannot blindly forget about the context. It is because one utterance may be going to be different if it is put into different context. So that way, learning language use based on its context also important. Then, Austin (1962) believes that when someone is producing an utterance that person is not only uttering something but also doing an act, which called speech act. In addition, deals with communicative purpose, in order to expressing wishes, people are producing directive act. Directive act is utterance that drives the hearer to do something to the speaker, which also enables speaker to impose hearer to do that. Directive act deals with the speaker‘s whishes and it binds the strong relationship between the speaker and the hearer, because even though directive act is uttered by the speaker but the successes of that act also influenced by the hearer.
