ABSTRACT This study was aimed to find out the type of teacher talk and the characteristic of classroom interaction take place in the English language classroom of Semarang Multinational School.This study applied descriptive qualitative research. There were two activities in gathering the data of this study: observation and audio recording. In analyzing this study, the researcher used interactive theory proposed by  Flander (1989). The findings showed that based on Flanders Interaction Analisys Categories (FIAV), the teacher indirectly influenced the students in teaching and learning process by relying hard on asking questions. Besides asking questions to students, teacher also used (1) accepting students’ feeling, (2) praising or encouraging students, and (3) accepting or even using students’ ideas. In addition the pattern of content cross interaction tended to be more on asking questions than lecturing behavior. It indicated that teacher often relied on asking questions to students in the teaching and learning process rather than to introduce new learning material and help conveying information to students. In conclusion, the teacher indirectly influenced the students in the teaching and learning process. This kind of interaction indicated that teacher often relied on asking rather than lecturing the students. Keywords: Teacher Talk, Classroom Interaction, Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories

<p>English language classrooms as real language settings provide ample linguistic data, be they produced by the teachers or the students, as there are some interactions in exchanging thoughts, feelings, or ideas. Speech acts theory indicates that in using the language, people not only create an isolated series of sentences, but also carry out actions by either doing something or making others do something. By using classroom observations conducted in twelve English language classrooms, this study seeks to describe types of sentence forms and kinds of strategies used by the teachers in giving order. The findings indicate that the teachers in the Department of English, Universitas Negeri Malang, who are in a position of authority over the students, do not always impose on their students in making them do what the teachers want them to do. Even though the interactions in the classrooms are not equal as the amount of teacher talk dominates the teaching and learning process, the students (as the hearer) are aware that they should adhere to the teachers’ speech acts of ordering to be successful in their study.     <strong></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>English language classrooms, speech acts theory, directives, sentence forms, speech acts strategies. </em></p>

<span>Teachers’ talk is a factor that may entail to the smoothness of English teaching and learning experience. Besides, language used by teacher in the classroom is crucial, because it will influence students’ learning process and development. This study investigated the speech acts in the teacher talk at SMP Negeri 1 Rangkasbitung. This study involved the Seventh Grade English teacher of SMP Negeri 1 Rangkasbitung as the data source. Furthermore, this study used Searle’s theory of speech acts classification as the instrument for analyzing the data. Based on the analysis, there were only four types of speech acts found in the teacher talk, 68 % directive speech act, assertive speech acts with 14 %, and the last two of speech act, commissive and expressive speech act, were only 10 % and 8 % in the teacher talk during the teaching-learning process. This study revealed that the majority of teacher talks found in the form of directive speech act, in the other words the classroom interaction went one way which more likely teacher-centeredness. Likewise, the teacher-centeredness make the students talk less and most importantly make the students became dependent and passive learner. In this study, the teacher became the central subject of learning rather than the students, hence it goes against the demands of National Standard and did not follow the principles of current Indonesian curriculum. Therefore, the conclusion which can be drawn from this study is that the teacher should utilize speech acts appropriately because high quality and the appropriateness of the teacher’s speech acts can convey teaching materials effectively, enhance teaching efficiency easily, and provide active learning meaningfully.</span>
