This study focuses on English teaching methods at Imam Al-Kadhum College during the 2022-2023 academic year, two main
objectives are pursued: firstly, to examine the implementation of Speech Act theory in the English learning process, and secondly, to
identify various illocutionary strategies employed by English instructors, including Declarative, Expressive, Representative,
Commissive, and Directive levels, through qualitative analysis. The research adopts a descriptive and qualitative approach, using the
English learning procedures conducted by teachers at the college as the primary data source. The researcher is the data collection
instrument, utilizing note-taking and video recording methods. Data are transcribed and reviewed for accuracy, followed by
categorization using Searle's taxonomy of illocutionary acts (1979). Analysis employs Sudaryanto's pragmatic identity technique
(1993) and Miles and Huberman's interactive qualitative method (1994). The study reveals the utilization of five distinct types of
illocutionary speech in classroom interactions: commissives, representatives, expressives, directives, and declaratives.

This study focuses on the psychology of speech to determine the meaning of texts. Seven excerpts of Barak Obama containing political jokes in particular are studied in this work due to their clear psychological basis. The subjects are fifteen M.A. students in the Translation Dept./ College of Arts/Tikrit University. The purpose of jokes refers to the clear-cut psychological drives. The examples provided in the study are analyzed according to the Relevance Theory. As for translation analysis, Venuti's Model of translation is adopted. According to the model of translation, there are two strategies: foreignization and domestication. If the psychological aspect is shown in the translation of the samples, then we have a foreignization maneuver. When the aspect of psychology is not shown in the rendering, then we have a domestication.

There has also been a loss of the psychological meaning in the
