undeniable that English nowadays has become indispensable means of international communication However, there are still a large number of Vietnamese EFL learners who have not achieved success in using English in their communication since they may face difficulty understanding the content of conversation or expressing exactly what they mean One of the significant factors necessary for students to get more successful in English conversations is the awareness of politeness strategieswhich are implicitly introduced in textbooks The study is conducted using descriptive qualitative research method to find out politeness strategies in the course book “Top Notch 2” (the First Edition) In order to fulfill these aims, the author picked up 150 utterances from the sound bites and the conservation models in the course book to analyze in the light of politeness theory proposed by Brown and Levinson (1978, 1987) The findings and results of the study show that most of negative and positive politeness strategies are found in the conversations and among them positive politeness strategies 4, and 2, negative politeness strategies 2, 1, and are most frequently used In addition, the author also would like to offer some useful implications for effective teaching of positive and negative politeness strategies iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale Language, generally speaking, is created as a necessary demand of human life with the crucial aim of communication Since different people from different cultural and social backgrounds may have different ways to exchange information and express their attitudes and opinions, the question of how to successfully communicate in certain contexts, especially in cross-cultural communication has attracted great attention from linguists and has been widely discussed so far It is commonly believed that understanding social conventions and paying attention to such concepts as politeness and face will definitely allow us to have better comprehension of a variety of speaking ways by people from different cultures, thus helping eliminate ethnic stereotypes and misunderstandings As claimed by Celce-Murcia and Olshtain (2000), “when learning a second language, one needs to acquire the new culture politeness framework, which is very different from that of one‟s own culture” Obviously, students‟ master of the cultural knowledge in general and strategies to choose the language politely in particular is supposed to make a valuable contribution to their ability to well communicate with confidence in any English speaking environment With such great importance to language competence and communication skill, politeness strategies are strongly recommended to be included in the course designs for teaching and learning English as a second language in universities and schools Among popular course books for English learners, Top Notch series (with Summit), as claimed by Pearson Longman, is an award-winning six-level communicative course for adults and young adults This course book series have also been used and evaluated by a number of ESL institutes and teachers in the world Eslami, Esmaeli, Ghavaminia, and Rajabi (2010) chosed to evaluate the four mostly instructed courses in Iran English language institutes namelyTop Notch, Interchange, Headway, and On Your Markbased on Mcdounough and Shaw‟s

conversations of the course book, which may lead to the result that the reliability of data and the complete generalization might not be well ensured Despite the aforementioned drawbacks, the research‟s flexibility and seriouswork isexpected to have well retained the validity and reliability of the result However, it is worth noting that these above shortcomings should always be taken into consideration when further related studies are conducted in the future Suggestions for further study It is recommended thatfurther studies be conducted with broader data collection to increase the generalizability of the findings as well as enhance the validity Also the other aspects of politeness strategies, such as bald on record, off record in this book as well as the other books in this Top
