ABSTRACT
The research entitled The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction: A Descriptive Study at 1st
Grade of Senior High School in Bandung aims at describing types of teacher talk and learner talk occur in classroom interaction, and finding the advantages and disadvantages of teacher talk and learner talk. This research used descriptive qualitative design. It was at first grade of senior high school in Bandung. The research involves one class of first grade students of a senior high school in Bandung as participants. The data were obtained through video recorded and interview. The data were analyzed by applying Flander’s Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC) focusing on types of teacher talk and learner talk. Findings were descriptive analyses with transcribing, coding, and analyzing. The result shows that all of teacher talk categories revealed that asking question and lecturing was found as the most frequently used. In terms of learner talk, learner talk response and initiation were revealed in this research. According to the results, it can be concluded that teacher talk and learners talk categories are important part in classroom interaction and there are found more advantages rather than the disadvantages. In addition, the factor that influenced types of teacher talk and learner talk was also supported by students’ response in the interviews. This research is expected to give a contribution to the teaching English especially in classroom interaction.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of six issues, such as: Background, Statement
of Problems, Aims of the Study, Significance of the Research,
Clarification of Terms and Organization of the Paper.
1.1. Background
One of the most important parts in teaching and learning process in
the class is classroom interaction. Classroom interaction is essential for the
success of teaching and learning process. Classroom interaction analysis
refers to a technique consisting of objective and systematic observation of
the classroom events (Anand, 2011:03).
Based on the researcher previous experience as a learner in senior
high school, the researcher found out that classroom interaction is very
poor. The teacher gave many theories to learners, without complete
exposition.
Poor interaction between teacher and learners is a common failure
in learning English. Brock (1986, cited in Shomoosi, 2008) states that an
increase in the amount of classroom interaction will help (foreign)
language learner to learn the target language easily and quickly.
It is also supported by Ellis and Yamazaki (1994) who mentions
that teacher‟s talk, which has been hypothesized to be important for L2
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
affects learners „comprehension. Therefore, teacher has the important role
in building successful classroom interaction.
Interaction is a collaborative exchange of thoughts, feelings or
ideas between a teacher and learners or a learner and other learners
resulting in reciprocal effect on each other (Brown, 1994:159). Thus,
interaction in a language classroom is a process of learning language.
Learning is the ability of using English (Azies and Alwasilah,
1996). While, the objective of language teaching is not limited to ability in
producing grammatical sentences, but also in terms of communicative
function (Huda, 1999:41). As the result, teacher as a manager in the class
should be imperative to motivate learners to get involved in the classroom
interaction.
In a classroom interaction, „talk‟ serves many important functions.
By using oral language the teacher and learners can exchange knowledge,
feelings, attitudes, and maintain social relationships. Beside, talk gives the
advantage for the teacher in gaining deeper understanding of pupils‟ skills
and motivation. In addition, talk also enables the teacher to investigate the
learning environment itself, for example, what kind of talk it fosters in the
pupils.
Talk has different types; Teacher Talking Time (TTT) and Student
Talking Time (STT). The more teacher talks, the less opportunity is for
learners. It means that TTT can decrease opportunity for Student Talking
Nurhasanah, 2013

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
Accroding to the Allwright and Baileys‟ observations of many
different classes, both in content subject and in language instruction
consistently show that teachers typically do between one half and three
quarters of the talking in the classrooms (Allwright and Bailey, 1991).
In addition, Gibb (1999) says that teacher‟s talk is often viewed
suspiciously as Teacher Talking Time (TTT), rather than as valuable
“language modeling”.
For the reasons above, the researcher is interested to find out the
interactions, which take place between teacher and learners in a classroom
for getting real evidence about teacher‟s talk and learner‟s talk. In
conducting the observation, the researcher uses an observational
instrument that is called as interaction analysis. As Hitchcock and Hughes
(1984: 134) states that, “Interaction analysis as a technique used to
investigate classroom interaction grew up out of a concern with the
improvement of classroom teaching”. The best-known example of
interaction analysis is contained Ned Flanders‟ coding scheme known as
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
Flanders categories are divided into teacher talk, learner talk, and
silence:
Table 1.1
Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC)
Teacher Talk
Indirect Influence
1. Accepts Feeling: accepts and clarifies the feeling tone of the students in a non-threatening manner. Feelings may be positive or negative. Predicting or recalling feelings are included.
2. Praises or Encourages: praises or encourages student action or behavior. Joke that release tension, not at the expense of another individual, nodding head or saying, “um hm?” or “go on” are included.
3. Accepts or uses ideas of student: clarifying, building or developing ideas suggested by a student. As a teacher brings more of his own ideas into play, shift to category five. 4. Asks questions: asking a question about content or
procedure with the intent that a student answers.
Direct Influence
5. Lecturing: giving facts or opinions about content or procedure expressing own ideas, asking rhetorical questions. 6. Giving direction: directions, commands or orders to which
a student is expected to comply.
7. Criticizing or justifying authority: statements intended to change student behavior from non-acceptable to acceptable pattern; bawling someone out; stating why the teacher s doing what he is doing; extreme self-reference.
Learner Talk
8. Student talk-response: a student makes predictable response to teacher. Teacher initiates the contact or solicits student statement and sets limits to what the students says. 9. Student talk-initiation: talk by students which they initiate.
Unpredictable statements in response to teacher. Shift from 8 to 9 as student introduces own ideas.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter is devoted to the description and account of the steps
that have been taken to conduct this study. The description and account
below involve: Research Problem, Research Design, Data Collection, and
Data Analysis.
3.1. Research Problems
This research is conducted to answer the following questions:
1. What types of teacher talk occur in classroom interactions?
2. What types of learner talk occur in classroom interactions?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of teacher talk and
learner talk in classroom interaction?
3.2. Research Design
Descriptive research provides an answer to the questions of how
something happened and who was involved, but not to answer the
question why something happened or why someone was involved
(explanatory research). Descriptive research provides a detailed profile of
an event, condition or situation using either quantitative, qualitative or a
combination of methods. Data gathering techniques such as field research
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
Qualitative method in the form of descriptive design was employed
in this study. The design was used to describe the characteristics of
object-study (Alwasilah, 2002). In this case to describe, what types of
teacher talk and learner talk occur in classroom interaction, and to find
the advantages and disadvantages of teacher talk and learner talk in the
classroom interactions. In order to achieve these goals, the research was
conducted in some stages: transcribing, coding, categorizing, comparing
and analyzing.
3.3. Participants of the Research
There are eleven classes of the first grade of senior high school.
The researcher chose only one class as participant, namely X-8. When the
research began, the class was on the first semester in the academic year
2012-2013.
3.4. Data Collection Method
This research method made interaction analysis technique. In the
interaction analysis, the researcher adopted Flanders’ Interaction Analysis
Categories (FIAC). This system involves the identification of talk analysis
in the classroom in terms of the coding and categorizing the utterances into
nine pre-arranged categories as state in chapter 2. It enables the researcher

3.4.1. Instruments
The data for this research was gathered through several instruments.
They were:
3.4.1.1. Video recording
In gaining the natural interaction between teacher and learners in
the classroom, the researcher used video recording as a technique. The
researcher considered this technique as a valuable source of accurate
information on patterns of turn-taking, in this case, teacher-student
interaction. The reason of using this technique is in line with Burns
(1999) who says that recording can be valuable in furnishing researchers
with objective first-hand data for analyzing data of teacher and students
behavior in the classroom.
Videotaping was conducted three times, on 09 October 2012, 10
October 2012, and 17 October 2012. Each lesson was recorded for 2-hour
lessons (90 minutes).
Nunan (1992) supports the use of recorded data that allows for
the preservation of the primary data, for example in the form of audio or
video recordings. This study used video recording as a technique for
capturing natural interaction used in classroom in detail. The researcher
recorded the process of teaching and learning English in gathering
accurate information about what the teacher’s talk and learner’s talk
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
not bother the students. They naturally talked to each other although they
noticed that the observer was recording their activities.
3.4.1.2. Interviews
Besides collecting data through recording and observing the
classroom interaction, the researcher used interview to support both.
Alwasilah (2002) states that by interviewing the respondent, a researcher
can get in-depth information because of the following reasons:
1. The researcher can explain and paraphrase the questions which
cannot be understood by respondent.
2. The researcher can give follow-up of questions.
3. Respondents tend to answer the questions when they are asked.
4. Respondents can tell something in the past and the future.
According to Nunan (1989), interview can be relatively
structured and unstructured. A structured interview is orchestrated around
a set of predetermined questions, while an unstructured interview is more
like a free following conversation between the interviewer and
interviewee.
The researcher prepared ten questions for interview about
teaching and learning process in classroom interaction. From the reason
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
In this research, the researcher applied an interview to the
teacher. The interview posed some questions concerning the following
reasons:
1. The classroom activities
2. The teaching methods
3. The teacher talk in classroom (how to accepts feeling, praises
or encourages, ask question, lecturing, giving directions, and
criticizing students)
4. The learner talk in the classroom (how the students response
and ask question)
5. The teacher’s efforts encouraging students’ communicative
competence
In addition, the researcher also conducted an interview to the
five low achiever students and five high achiever students. The
researcher chose those ten students, because they have different
comprehension to what the teacher conveyed in the classroom and have
different comprehension in learning and understanding of the lesson.
The interview posed some questions concerning with the
following reasons:
1. The classroom activities
2. The teacher talk in classroom
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
4. Their comments about their teacher performance, and the used
data methodology
5. Their difficulties in doing the interaction
3.5. Data Analysis
This research focuses on what teacher and learner talks occur in the
classroom and also the advantages and disadvantages of teacher talk and
learner talk. In order to answer these questions, the researcher used some
steps as follows:
3.5.1. Transcribing
One way of handling data collected through recording is to
transcribe the result of recorded classroom interaction. This was done as
pre-analysis. The researcher used the transcriptions since those were the
main written source to be analyzed.
In transcribing the data, the researcher used some strategies from
Burns (1999), such as keeping the transcription as simple as possible,
labeling the speakers using the letters, numbering the lines or clauses,
inserting contextual information to explain essential aspects, e.g.
non-verbal interaction and using ordinary orthographic transcription, with
conventional punctuation when appropriate. Moreover, the researcher
labeled each utterance with ‘T’, ‘S’, and ‘Ss’. T refers to utterance
expressed by teacher; S refers to those from individual learner, and Ss

3.5.2. Coding
Interaction analysis system involves the identification of analysis
of talk in the classroom in terms of the coding and categorization of
utterances according to nine pre-arranged categories. After completing
the transcription the observer coded each number of utterances into the
category based on Flanders’ Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC). As
mentioned before, the coding process involved two coders besides the
observer. Each coder then independently coded the transcripts based on
the following procedures.
Table 3.2
Coding Procedure Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories (FIAC)
Rare events should be coded whenever possible
Categories 1, 2, 3 & 9 are expected much less than
5, 6, 7 & 8.
1: Accept Feelings This is a rare event the teacher must actually label the feeling to obtain this code.
2: Praises or Encourages
Avoid using the code habitually routine superficial
exclamations of praise
Code more than once if extended praise is given
3: Accepts or Uses Idea of Student
Teacher can respond to pupil’s ideas in a number
of ways:
- Acknowledge-creating a number of ways
- Modify, rephrase
- Apply it to solve a problem or make
inference
- Compare it with other ideas

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION
This chapter elaborates the research conclusions and suggestions
based on the research investigation. Basically this chapter is divided into
two sections, first is conclusion of teacher talk and learner talk in
classroom interaction and the second is suggestion of teacher talk and
learner talk in classroom interaction.
5.1. Conclusions
5.1.1. Teacher Talk
The findings of this research on teacher talk can be summed up as
follows:
1. Teacher accepts and clarifies an attitude or the feeling tone of the
learners in non-threatening manner.
2. Teachers realize that praises are powerful determinant behavior.
Therefore along the teaching and learning activities he provides
reward to encourage learners verbally and non-verbally.
3. Accepting and using the ideas of the students rarely used by
teachers. On this occasion, the learners were less initiated in
asking the question.
4. In asking questions, the teacher uses both referential and display

teacher. This pattern is intended to make the learners attentive to
the subject of discussion.
5. The teacher usually uses lecturing as a method to deliver lessons.
He realized that the concept of communicative approach requires
the teacher as a negotiator rather than as a transmitter of
knowledge.
6. A teacher usually gives direction in every period of lesson. They
exist in form of directive sentences. In the beginning period, it is
done to inform what the learners will do with the lesson.
Whereas, in whilst activities directions are performed to fulfill
teacher’s intention.
7. Criticizing the behavior and response of learners is performed in
humorous way. The teacher’s intention is to make learners
comfortable in learning English. This way is sustained to make
the classroom atmosphere as friendly as possible.
5.1.2. Learner Talk
The result of this research on learner talk can be summed up as
follows:
1. The students always give response to every questions or
directions from the teacher.
2. The learner’s response can give good contribution in building the
Nurhasanah, 2013
The Analysis of Teacher Talk and Learner Talk in the Classroom Interaction (A Descriptive Study at 1st Grade of Senior High School in Bandung)
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu
3. The quantity of learner-response is in proportion of teacher’s
questions. The more the teacher asks questions the more the
learners will responses.
4. The learners seldom initiate to talk during the classroom
interactions.
5. The more the teacher’s initiates the talk the less learners initiate
the interaction.
5.1.3. Advantages and Disadvantages of teacher talk and learner
talk
The result of this research on advantages and disadvantages can
be summed up as follows:
1. Teacher always giving praises in verbally to motivate the learners
be more active in classroom interaction.
2. Teachers figuring out the whole description of teaching learning
process.
3. More active learners is motivated the teacher in improving
capability in organizing and managing the learners.
4. Helping the learners in understanding the lessons.
5. Giving praises in verbally are motivated the learners being more
active in classroom interaction
6. The teacher speaks more than the learners; the teacher mostly used

7. Interactive communication is motivated learners be active in the
classroom.
8. The proportion of teacher talk is more dominant than the learners.
9. Learner mostly response in Indonesia rather than English.
10.The learners seldom asking question to the teacher.
5.2. Suggestions
In line with conclusions stated above, the following suggestions
are proposed for better teaching and learning in classroom interaction:
1. The first principle, and the most important, to keep in mind is
that the learners want to speak English. The teacher’s role is as
a resource to manage them to speak in classroom interaction.
2. In order to encourage learner initiation, the teacher should give
rewards for them who ask question.
3. Use variety, the lesson should be interesting. Doing the same
thing for too long will be boring for learners.
4. The teacher should be creative. Textbook and lesson plans are
basically just a blue print or a building frame. Applying games
that related to the lesson is suggested.
