Abstract

This paper examines teachers’ use of language in the 21st century classroom, with particular attention to the concepts of teacher language, language classroom, and classroom language. It explores the nature and functions of positive and negative teacher language, providing contrasting examples to illustrate their effects on classroom interaction. The paper argues that the language employed by teachers in the classroom has the potential to influence learners’ engagement either positively or negatively. It concludes that the careful use of positive teacher language can foster active participation, enhance learning outcomes, and promote a supportive classroom environment.
