People use different politeness strategies in different situations. The type of politeness strategies employed in reprimanding are affected by social distance and social power (Brown and Levinson, 1987). Speakers of different cultures also use different strategies for reprimanding (Garcia, 2009). This study was intended to investigate the politeness strategies used by Indonesian EFL learners when reprimanding in English in different conditions. The participants were 22 undergraduate students of an international university in Jakarta. The data were collected by using DCT questionnaire adapted from Ahmadian and Dastjerdi’s (2010) study, which required the participants to reprimand an interlocutor in the four made-up situations. The results indicate that, in Indonesian community, social distance and social power affect the choice of politeness strategies in reprimanding. In addition, the fact that the participants generally used bald on record and positive politeness strategies in the four conditions understudy suggests that Indonesians prefer to threaten the interlocutor’s face rather than their own in reprimanding.
