Abstrak

English as international language has an important role in communication. It is important too, when someone uses modality, he/she should be familiar with the pattern in which is used in a sentence and understands their function and meaning. Modality is the intermediate degree between the positive and the the negative poles. By using modality speaker and hearer can indicate that they have particular point of view about something and demonstrate an awareness of other perspective. The objectives of this research are to find out the types of modality found in the most popular read column of BBC news issued on April 2013 and to find out degrees of modality found in the most popular read column of BBC News issued on April 2013. This research belongs to descriptive qualitative. The data of this research is the types of modality and degree of modality that are taken from the most popular read column of BBC News issued on April 2013. The results of this research are: firstly there are 157 clauses that contain types and of modality also they are in different form. So the degree and the types of modality also consist of 19 clause (High probability), 78 clause (Medium probability), 39 clause (low probability), 3 clause (high usuality)4 clause (medium usuaility), 7 clause (high obligation), 5 clause (medium obligation), 2 clause (low obligation), and the writer didn’t find clause of inclination. Based on the result of this research, the writer suggest the lecturers of English education department could use this research as an example when they teach about both of grammar and functional grammar, especially in teaching reading, writing or speaking about the types of modality (probability uses to temper opinion, usuality uses to temper habitual, obligation uses to temper recommendation, inclination uses to temper offer) and the degree of modality (High modality uses to strong or really certain about something, Medium modality uses to median certain about something, Low modality uses to weak or doubt about something). It is also suggested that the future researchers should continue and develop this research with the analysis of modality used in the other news because this research only talks about modality and degree of modality found in the most popular read column of BBC News issued on April 2013.
