To cope with the previous goal, case study was used as the research design. Additionally, observation through audio recording and interviews were implemented to collect the data. The finding of this study are: 1) one type of speaking was found which is dialogue and; 2) six functions of speaking discovered which are exchanging personal information, expressing future intentions, giving directions, giving advice & making suggestions, describing, and interacting in social situations. By practicing the type and functions above, the students were able to demonstrate the functional competence of speaking to meet their duty as hotel receptionists which is bridging good communication between the hotel and the guest.
