Classroom Interaction: Teacher And Student Talk In International Class Program (Icp)

Abstract

This study is an attempt to examine classroom interaction which specifies teacher and student talk in International Class Program (ICP) at non-English departments at State Islamic University Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. ICP class is different from regular class in which English and Arabic are used as medium of instruction in the teaching and learning process. This study is intended to answer two questions: (1) What categories of teacher talk are used by the teacher in giving stimuli in the process of teaching and learning? and (2) How do the students respond to the teacher’s instruction in the process of teaching and learning? The subjects of the study are the teacher and the students in ICP class. The data are elicited through non-participant observation, interview with the teacher and the students, field notes and recording of utterances between the teacher and the students. Data are analyzed using the ‘interaction model’ of Miles and Huberman, following FLINT system. This article reports the results of the analysis of classroom interaction that focuses on teacher and student talk in ICP class.
