The research design is descriptive qualitative. Leedy (1974:79) suggests that a descriptive method simply looks with intense accuracy at the phenomena of the moment and then describes precisely what the writer has seen. The data were obtained by the students’ conversation using audio and video recorder. Then the writer made a transcription of the conversation and analyzed the data by classifying based on Pica’s study. (1989).  The results of this research show that all components in negotiation of meaning were used by students at the second year of SMP N 29 Bandar Lampung. The highest component was Trigger 32 items (26.66%) and the lowest component was Response Other-Modification 2 items (1.66%). Therefore it can be concluded that the highest frequency was trigger. Moreover, it can increase the students’ conversation continuity and open more chances for them to provide comprehensible input and produce more comprehensible output.
