ABSTRACT
The study entitled The Analysis of Verbal Interaction between Teacher and Students in the Classroom aims at investigating the realization of verbal interaction between the teacher and the students in the classroom and the way the teacher gets response from the students. The study employed a qualitative research design. It was conducted at one of the state senior high schools in Bandung. The subjects were an English teacher and 40 students of an English class. The data were collected through videotaping and interview. The data were analyzed by applying Flander’s Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) focusing on types of teacher talk and student talk.
The findings indicate that the teacher acted as the most dominant interlocutor during teaching and learning process. The result also found that all of the teacher talk categories of FIAC were revealed in this study which covered, beginning from the highest percentage to the lowest one: asking questions, giving direction, criticizing, accepting ideas, lecturing, accepting feeling and praising. In terms of student talk, student’s response and initiation were revealed in this study. The teacher conducted indirect teaching more rather than direct one. In addition, the teacher mostly adopted a role as the controller and initiator in the classroom in regard with the teacher frequently led the flow of interaction. It was also found that students’ responses played a significant part in the classroom interaction. Mostly, students’ responses were obtained by asking questions, giving directions and criticizing.
Therefore, this study suggested teacher to improve student’s verbal participation and the target language to interact in classroom.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini berjudul “The Analysis of Verbal Interaction between Teacher and Students in the Classroom yang bertujuan meneliti interaksi verbal antara guru dan siswa di kelas dan meneliti cara guru mendapatkan tanggapan dari siswa. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif. Dilaksanakan di salah satu Secular Menengah Atas di Bandung. Subjek dari penelitian ini terdiri dari seorang guru dan 40 siswa pada mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Data didapatkan melalui wawancara dan juga rekaman video. Yang selanjutnya di analisis dengan menggunakan Flander’s Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) yang fokus pada jenis pembicaraan guru dan siswa.
Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa guru berperan sebagai sosok yang paling dominan berbicara ketika proses belajar mengajar berlangsung. Ditemukan juga bahwa beberapa jenis pembicaraan guru yang sebagaimana tercantum dalam kategori FIAC, dimulai dari jumlah persentase tertinggi yaitu, memberikan pertanyaan, memberikan arahan, megkritisi, menerima masukan, menerima perasaan/tingkah laku siswa dan member pujian. Dalam kategori jenis pembicaraan siswa, member tanggapan dan berinisiasi juga ditemukan dalam penelitian ini. Guru lebih sering menggunakan teknik pengajaran tidak langsung dibandingkan pengajaran secara langsung. Selain itu, di dalam kelas, guru cenderung berperan sebagai pengontrol dan juga perakarsa atau bisa disebut juga pengambil inisiatip., dalam hal ini mengatur berjalannya proses interaksi di dalam kelas. Dari data juga diperoleh bahwa tanggapan siswa berperan signifikan did lam interaksi kelas. Tanggapan siswa palin tinggi dihasilkan melalui hasil proses guru bertanya, memberikan arahan dan juga memberikan kritik.
Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menyarankan kepada guru untuk meningkatkan partisipasi verbal siswa dan bahasa target untuk berinteraksi di dalam kelas.

THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter is an introduction of the study that consists of the background of
study which describes verbal interaction between the teacher and the students in
general. This section also includes several parts namely the statement of the
problems, the aim of the study, the significance of the study, the clarification of the
terms, and the organization of the paper.
1.1 Background
Teaching is guiding and facilitating learning, enabling students to learn and
setting condition for learning (Brown, 1980:8). It requires teacher to formulate and
manage learning to enable the students to achieve the target. Furthermore, Allwright
(1984) and Ellis (1990) argue that teaching and learning process in classroom should
be conducted as interaction to get language model and facility since its quality can
influence level of acquisition. Therefore, teaching and learning process is an essential
interaction process between a teacher and students.
In fact, creating communicative interaction between the teacher and the
students is one of the problems in teaching and learning process. During teaching and
learning process, there will be time when the teacher does not get response from the
2
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM response. Therefore, this is the time teacher’s role in action, as a controller and an
initiator; the teacher has to carry out interactive techniques and create an interactive
classroom successfully. In this case, the teacher and the students should negotiate
meanings and collaborate to accomplish certain purpose during teaching and learning
process.
Through verbal interaction, students can demonstrate their proficiency and
practice their target language. Moreover, Malamah- Thomas (1987 cf. Shomoossi,
2004) recommends that interaction will help students to attain better learning and
give opportunities to rehearse their competences. They get their competences by
listening to the teacher and the students, and communicating with the teacher and the
student. In this line, Brown (1994:159) suggests that interaction is the collaborative
exchange of thoughts, feelings, or ideas between two or more people resulting in
reciprocal effect on each other. To have reciprocal interaction, the teacher is not only
facilitating the students to learn but also stimulating students to get involved in
participation.
Additionally, the teacher and the students have time when they should speak
and listen. In fact, ideal class is when the teacher talk is less than the students talk. It
means that the students are more active than the teacher. As a one of examples from
another country, Chaudron (1988) reveals that a lot of research in language classroom
shows teacher talk is about 60 % of the moves. While in Indonesia, survey on
sixty-two SLTP and SMU teachers in West Java, Banten, and DKI revealed that most of

THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM 2009b). Suherdi explains that it is because students tend to be low confidence and
lack independence in organizing their learning. Those facts are supported by
Husnaini’s and Kesuma’s findings in their research that revealed the percentage of
teacher talk is more than 55%. In other words, the practice of teaching English in
Indonesia tends to be teacher centered. It means that it can make students have less
opportunity to speak and it is not good for improving students’ ability to talk in the target language. Furthermore, Suherdi (2009:216) argues that this lack of
participation is resulted from the ill development teaching models.
Concerning the issues above, this study analyzes the interactions between the
teacher and the students, which occurs in the classroom interaction for getting the real
evidence and implication to student talk. As Amidon (1968:159) states, “Interaction
analysis is a system for describing and analyzing teacher-pupil verbal interaction”.
Thus, the study entitled An Analysis of Verbal Interaction between Teacher and
Students in the Classroom aims to investigate verbal interaction of the teacher and the
students in a senior high school in Bandung. One of the guidelines to analyze the
interaction activities is by using Flanders’ Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC).
FIAC is a concept, which states that teaching will be effective depending to a large
degree on how directly and indirectly teachers influence the students’ behaviors.
Based on the FIAC (Allwright and Bailey, 1991: 202), there are three categories in
the classroom interaction; they are teacher talk, students talk, and no/all talk/silence.
Hopefully this study can be one of the resources or preferences and practical value for

1.6 Clarification of the Terms
Some terms are required in order to give definition, avoid misunderstanding
and limit the use of terms, and understand the context (Cresswell, 1994). Below are
some terms need to be clarified.
1. Classroom : Classroom is a place where the teacher and the
students come together for doing teaching and learning process.
2. Interaction : The collaborative exchange of thoughts, feelings, or
ideas between two or more people, resulting in a reciprocal effect on each other
(Brown, 2000).
3. Verbal Classroom interaction: Verbal exchanges produced by both teacher-
students and student-student interaction in classroom (Lynch,1999).
4. Teacher talk : A major way used by the teacher to convey
information, have discussion and negotiations and motivate his students, so he can
give the students knowledge and control their behavior (Allwright&Bailey, 1991).
5. Student Talk : Language which is used by students in classroom
(Lynch,1999).
6. Student Response : Student response is a type of student talk which is
produced by students when teacher initiates interaction. (Flanders, 1970, as cited in

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses some aspects of research methodology that is applied
in this study. It presents formulation of problem, research design, participants, data
collection, and data analysis. It also describes reliability and validity of this study.
3.1 Research Methodology
The research was designed using qualitative approach and descriptive method.
The goals of this study were to get description of how the verbal interaction between
teacher and students conducted and the way teacher influences student talk in
classroom interaction. As Creswell (1994) states, qualitative research is descriptive in
that the researcher is interested in process, meaning and understanding gained
through words or pictures. This method was used since this study did not search for
something or make prediction. It only describes the situations or phenomenon. In line
with this, Stainback and Stainback (1988) make clear that this method is the best
approach to describe and examine the characteristic, events, procedures, and a
philosophy occurring in natural settings is often needed to make accurate situational

3.2 Site and Participants of the Study
Gaining entry into the site is really crucial (Alwasilah, 2002). One of state
senior high schools in Bandung was chosen as the site of the study. The location of
the school is in the north of Bandung. There were nine classes of the tenth grade, only
one class was chosen as the sample. The participants of this study were 40 students
from a class of the classes of tenth grade who took an English class. It was selected
purposively based on the availability of time and the teacher‟s suggestion.
3.3 Data Collection Techniques
Data collection techniques, employed in this study, were videotaping and
interview. Each technique of data collection will be described below.
3.3.1 Videotaping
To describe what the teacher and students talks constitute in classroom
interactions, this study required videotaping as one of the research tools. This study
used videotaping to capture natural interaction in detail. As Allwright and Bailey
(1991) state the appropriate way to gather more complicated enquiries or more details
data is audio record or even video record, so that we can get what was said, by whom,
in what tone of voice. In addition, Burns (1999) argues that videotaping provides data
of the classroom interaction both in verbal and in non-verbal behavior.
Videotaping of the whole proceeding was made to acquire more complete data
about the classroom process. It was started on October 29 and was done on December
23
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM lesson is about 90 minutes long, but it started five minutes late because of the
morning assembly. Consequently, the actual each lesson hour is about 85 minutes
long.
However, with the presence of investigator, students behaved naturally and
were not interrupted during the classroom learning. Teacher and students were not
disturbed by the presence of researcher during recording process.
3.3.2 Interviews
The interviews were conducted after the whole observation were done. It was
done to know students‟ perception about the interaction in speaking English in the
classroom. Alwasilah (2008:154) argues that interview can be used to get “in-depth
information”. This study was aimed at gaining deep understanding about students‟
classroom participation quality and its influencing factors. In addition through
interview, it could get additional information, which could not be gained through
observation.
As suggested by Stake (2010:95), the purposes of interview for qualitative
researcher are: (1) to obtain unique information held by the person interviewed, (2) to
collect a numerical unit of information from many persons, and (3) to find out about a
thing that the researchers were unable to observe themselves.
There are two kinds of interview techniques (Cohen and Manion, 1994). The
first is structured interview in which the questions are organized. The questions for
24
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM percentages of teacher talk and student talk in the classroom, teacher‟s question, the
teacher‟s strategies to encouraging students‟ talk and teacher‟s reward. The second
one is unstructured interview, which is a more casual and flexible for interviewee to
express what questions asked. They were recorded in video-taped and constructed an
interview note. Furthermore, Creswell (1994) asserts that:
… researchers record information from interview by using note taking or audiotapes. I recommend that one audiotape each interview and then transcribe the interview later. Also during the interview, the researcher should take notes in the event that the recording equipments fail (p.152).
From the explanation above, the interviews were useful to clarify information
that gained from videotaping. Therefore, the interview results completed the data
from videotaping.
3.4 Data Analysis
The excerpts of six meetings were analyzed using Flanders Interaction
Analysis Categories (FIAC), Bloom‟s taxonomy for categorizing type of teacher‟s
questions, while the teacher‟s questioning strategies were analyzed by considering the
patterns of interaction. There were some following steps adapted from Suherdi
(2008:46):
Step 1. Transcribing the video recording
The results of recording were transcribed down in form of written transcript.
25
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM additional data. Then each utterance was labeled with „T‟ represents teacher, „S1‟,
„S2‟, „S3‟ etc indicate students, while „Ss‟ stands for the voice of students.
Step 2. Coding and analyzing data
After completing all transcriptions, the transcription were coded using some
labels as shown in chapter II. Coding assists to ease the identification of the
phenomena occurred, the calculation of the phenomena, and the tendency of the
findings as well as to determine the categorization and sub-categorization (Alwasilah,
2002: 159). Therefore, there were the following procedures:
1. Segmenting the transcript based on each exchange.
2. Coding and analyzing based on FIAC (Flander‟s Interaction Analysis Categories).
3. Calculating the number of each type of code, the number of teacher and student
talk and type of questions occurred.
4. Calculating the amount of teacher and students talk and analyzing them to seek the
balance between teacher and student talk using FIAC (Flander‟s Interaction
Analysis Categories).
5. Analyzing the type of questions used by the teacher based on Kinsella (1991) and
Bloom‟s (1956) theory of categories of questions to find what type of interaction
tend to occur.
Step 3. Interpreting data
In this step, research questions are attempted to be answered as formulated in
chapter I. The quantification of frequency was displayed into some tables, and then
26
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM display, i.e. table, flowchart, diagram, etc. enables in explaining the interpretation.
The findings were connected one to another research question in order to obtain
phenomena and presented them into deep discussions.
Step 4. Finishing
The findings were taken into conclusion and suggestion which refer to the
objectives of the research.
3.5 Establishing Reliability and Validity
This research investigated a class and counted linguistic structures in
transcripts and code. The result of the study must be consistent for the next. The
researcher has to concern for quality control for the result of study. Thus, this study
used some techniques, which are reliability and validity.
The technical term for this consistency is reliability. Allwright and Bailey
(1991) recommend, reliability is a technical term for consistency in the data
collection and data analysis. Meanwhile, Alwasilah (2002) claims validity is a truth
of the research in description, conclusion, interpretation, and another report. In order
to maintain reliability and validity in this present research, there were some
techniques as follows:
3.5.1 Member checking
A member checking method was applied in this research to validate the
findings. The member checking is a way to receive feedback from informants
27
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM the data from informants (Sugiyono, 2011). Alwasilah (2002) proposes this technique
that is member checking in order to (1) prevent misunderstanding toward respondent‟
answer in interview, (2) prevent misunderstanding toward respondents‟ behavior
during observation, and (3) confirm respondent‟s perspectives toward what was
happening. To prevent all misunderstandings, the videotaping and the interview were
confirmed to respondents in order to enable achieving validity of the research.
3.5.2 Rich data
To get the rich data, a complete transcription of the interviews were made in
this study. It was useful to enrich and reinforce the interpretation of the data. Maxwell
(1966 as cited in Alwasilah 2008:178) states that the purpose of rich data not only as
evidences resources of supporting conclusion but also a test for theories being

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This last chapter presents conclusions and suggestions based on the previous
explanations and descriptions.
5.1 Conclusions
This section presents the conclusions of the study conducted based on the
research questions. The focus of the study is the verbal interaction in the classroom,
particularly on the portrait of teacher talk and student talk and the way the teacher
gets student response.
This study proves the findings from the previous research that the teacher
plays dominant part in the classroom interaction suggested by Nunan (2001). The
percentage of teacher talk is 54% and students talk is 44%,and silence is 2%.
However, the dominance of the teacher talk is valuable since the teacher fully uses
target language as language input and it is proposed to direct the students to express
their ideas.
This study comes up with some categories of teacher talk, beginning from the
highest percentage to the lowest one: asking question, giving direction, criticizing,
48
Nike Rosmeisarah Huraerah, 2013
THE ANALYSIS OF VERBAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM
Flander’s Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) system of analysis developed by
Flanders (1970).
From interaction and categories of teacher talk, teacher conducted indirect
teaching than direct on. It can be shown from the high percentage of indirect
teaching. It is highlighted from the bigger proportion of category of asking question,
accepting ideas, accepting feeling and praising.
As discovered also from the finding, the teacher mostly plays roles as the
controller and initiator. It can be seen from the high percentage of asking question,
giving direction and criticizing by the teacher. In asking question, the teacher uses
both of referential and display question. Consequently, the teacher leads the flow of
interaction and creates an interactive classroom.
Regarding to student talk, this study has shown two types of the student talk
covering response and initiation. During teaching and learning process, there are
some students who make initiation in the classroom interaction. They are relatively
brave and eager to ask questions and share their feelings and ideas with the teacher
and the others. Furthermore, the proportion of response is higher than initiation and it
plays significant part in the interaction. It can be concluded that the teacher talk has
implication on students’ motivation in participation since the teacher frequently asks

5.2 Suggestions
After conducting the study, it is realized that there are many important
implications to be explained and improved concerning verbal interaction, especially
the teacher and the student talk. The following suggestions are offered for further
research:
1. The first principle and most important, to keep mind is that the students want to
speak English. The teacher’s role is to facilitate and lead them in conversation.
2. In order to encourage students’ initiation, the teacher should give reward for them who ask question.
3. Teacher can use various techniques to stimulate student response. Creating group
discussion will give more opportunity to the students to talk and learn from their
peers.
4. Teaching grammar and writing should be conducted in more implicit rather than
explaining grammatical rules, for examples giving more input regarding such
