Xiao-hui XU

Abstract


Teacher talk is usually viewed as one of the decisive factors of success or failure in classroom teaching. Based on the basic principles of Relevance Theory, the present thesis has focused on the teacher-student interaction in form of question-answer in language classrooms and tried to analyze teacher talk under the framework of Relevance Theory to prove that Relevance Theory is able to provide an explanation for teacher talk. This thesis proposes some pedagogical implications for successful teacher talk and teacher-student interaction in EFL context. Keywords: teacher talk; teacher-student interaction; Relevance Theory Résumé: Le discours de l'enseignant est généralement considéré comme l'un des facteurs décisifs de succès ou d'échec dans l'enseignement en classe.
