Abstract

Language is a means of communication between community members in the form of sound symbols produced by human speech tools. Speech is a form of spoken language activity. Therefore, giving a speech requires and emphasizes the expression of ideas and reasoning using spoken language which is supported by non-language aspects, such as facial expressions, eye contact, and voice intonation. In connection with this definition, there are four functions of the Indonesian language, namely (1) to express self-expression, (2) as a means of communication, (3) as a tool for social integration and adaptation, and (4) as a tool for exercising social control. . Matters that need to be nurtured and developed in the guidance and development of the Indonesian language include pronunciation, spelling, writing, vocabulary / terms, and grammar. These four things are the most important material in language coaching and development, so that language users are able to use good and correct language.
