Abstract

Tourism is the worldwide fast-growing industry which directly affects various fields of life. Tourism study does not stand by itself, but is supported by other social sciences, specifically language education. This paper, based on a research in language functions, aimed to identify the use of informative functions in handling food service at the restaurant. Categorized as a study of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), this paper described language variations to provide preliminary analysis of needs in tourism and hospitality context. The research methods were qualitative, using observation and recording technique. The data were in the form of transcribed utterances between guests and waiters at the restaurant. The result of the analysis showed that informative functions were represented through micro functions, namely ‘asking’, ‘explaining’, ‘stating’, and ‘confirming’.
