    Abstract

    The present research investigates the Realizations of Responses to
    Apolog} Performed by Indonesians who Speak English as a Foreign Language.
    AsBrown and Levinson (1987) states that the act of apologizing isface-saving for
    the hearer (H) and face-threatening for the speaker (S). An apology can often he
    the first step to gain better understanding in a damaged relationship, so the
    apologizer is expected to choose the right word to utter what he/she wants to
    speak. How the respondents respond the apology, whether it is sincere/insincere
    apology, may determine the future of the relationship.
    The respondents of the present study were 20 students of English
    Department at Indonesia University ofEducation. The data were collected through
    discourse Completion Test (DCT). The collected data were then analyzed by
    using the framework proposed by Blum-Kulka (1989) and Searie (1969).
    The investigation revealed that the respondents respond the apology
    differently. It is found that the responses can be categorized an acceptance,
    conditional acceptance, request, minimizing, thanking, rejection, and passive
    comment. The categories of request is manifested in five strategies, while the
    categories of acceptance, conditional acceptance, minimizing, thanking, rejection,
    and passive comment are not further divided into finer categories because they
    only consists of IFIDs.
    Furthermore, the respondents consider the social variables, setting, the
    seriousness of mistake, and the initiations (the strategy of apology). While, the
    power is not a strong influencing factor in the realizations of responses to
    apology. This research concludes that an act of responses to apology cannot be
    separated from the speaker's attempt to observe the notion of politeness.
