- Abstract This study aimed to investigate the influence of mind mapping model on foreign language learning in improving student’s speaking performance and self-confidence. This study used an experiment approach which consisted of an experiment group without involving control group. Mind Mapping model was implemented in English and German learning. Data of this study consisted of student’s speaking performance and self-confidence in English and German subjects. Student’s speaking performance was measured using speaking test, and from the students’ regional language. In addition, the students applied humor and small talk as the ways to be polite. Those strategies were used each other to support their politeness expressions in order to create good conversations. Findings from this study become a reference for study of politeness in a different context of speech situation. This study shows that although English students were subject to high technology of online communication, some strategies to show respect are still applied for the sake of good interaction and mutual understanding.
