Abstract English-teaching textbooks become the source of the data for this study. The concern of this study is to identify pragmatic features favored in classroom activities with heavy reliance on textbooks. Then, politeness is investigated for the purpose of understanding characteristics in non-authentic English. A total eight speech acts are identified as recurring across different kinds of textbooks including responses, questions, advice, and suggestions. Among others, the act of responding is notably common, which is also significant from a theoretical point of view. Responding belongs to positive politeness in that it serve as keeping conversation going on to satisfy the addressee’s connection and solidarity (Arundale 2009). It is possible to note that emphasis on interaction with the hearer is motivated in the textbook context. For pedagogy, language instructors should consider American communication style to maintain verbal interaction in teaching common speech behavior in classroom.
