Abstract
The research describes language impoliteness in learning during the Covid-19
pandemic at the Berau District Elementary School, East Kalimantan. This study uses
a qualitative approach with a descriptive-qualitative type of research. The subjects of
this research were elementary school students and teachers in Berau Regency, East
Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Data collection does by recording technique and
note-taking technique. The data analysis technique uses an interactive analysis model
from Miles, Huberman, & Saldana (2014). The results showed violations of all maxims
of politeness in the language in the learning process. A breach of the tact maxim is
that students respond to the teacher's orders with an attitude that is not serious or
joking. Violation of the generosity maxim is shown by the way students express their
intentions or desires emotionally. Violation of the approbation maxim is students
criticizes directly or openly. The violation of the modesty maxim carried out by the
students demeaned the speech partner. Violation of the agreement maxim indicates
students' attitudes who do not respect the teacher's orders using harsh diction. The
form of a breach of the sympathy maxim is that students lose their empathy for friends
who are having trouble.
