Abstract

This paper mainly reports on the features of a pre-service teacher’s talk, which may impact the learners’ interaction in an EFL classroom. This study employed the data gathered from a lesson transcript of teaching practice recording from an Indonesian pre-service teacher involved in a teaching practicum program at one of the teacher education faculties in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia, for three months. The data was thematically analysed through the SETT (Self Evaluation of Teacher Talk) framework. The results indicate that the pre-service teacher utilised all forms of teacher discourse to pedagogical objectives: 1) managerial, 2) material, 3) skills and systems, and 4) classroom context, aligned with the interactional characteristics. In conclusion, the pre-service teacher’s reliance on teacher talk in English instruction predominates classroom talk, as she priorities lesson delivery over fostering student learning. A pre-service teacher is advised to utilise the English language in her instruction to enhance its role in promoting an effective language classroom. Besides that, this study is expected to provide critical insights for improving the language learning classroom, which pre-service teachers should be prepared for by promoting their communicative competence and skills.
