Abstract

The variety of meaning and function of the modal auxiliaries lead to an issue in relation to many speeches especially the political ones. This research aims at highlighting the modal auxiliaries in English and show their usage in conveying meaning; checkout the applicability of Randolph Quirk and Green Baum’s modal of modality to political speeches; and find out the main functions of the English modals (will and must) in relation to the occasion of political speeches and how to utilize these functions pedagogically.
This research hypothesizes that English modal auxiliaries (will and must) play an important role in carrying meaning in political speeches; and that Randolph Quirk Green Baum is an applicable model to political speeches in relation to modality. Finally, there is a significant pedagogical implication in raising the EFL Learners’ awareness in relation to the usage of modal auxiliaries and their accurate manipulation.
