Abstract: Since the formal education cannot be expected to provide individuals with sufficient knowledge to last a lifetime, educators need to help learners develop knowledge, skills, and predispositions essential for independent learning. Reading in content areas whose primary purpose is to help learners acquire content literacy or the ability to use reading (and) writing for the acquisition of new knowledge from materials required in their subject is one way of preparing students to be independent learners.

Abstract

Teachers have significant role in facilitating students’ interaction in the classroom. They contribute in students’ interaction development. Therefore, teachers need to always take such strategy to do so. One the strategy which can be used by teachers is by applying Self-evaluation of Teacher Talk (SETT). This study is aimed at describing the implementation of SETT to facilitate teacher-students interaction in EFL speaking class in university level. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through recorded classroom observations and semi-structured student interviews in a speaking class. The study focused on four key categories of teacher talk: Managerial, Material, Skill and System, and Classroom Context Talk. Research indicates that managerial talk efficiently organizes classroom activities and illustrates organizational communication standards, while material talk contextualizes learning goals, connecting theory to practical applications. Skill and system discussions provide clear language training and constructive feedback, enhancing communication competence and confidence. Classroom context talk promotes critical thinking and introspective engagement, connecting theoretical knowledge with actual professional contexts. The synthesis of data and discussion emphasizes the dynamic interaction of these categories in fostering students’ interaction and preparedness for professional communication issues. This study provides significant insights for teachers seeking to enhance instructional practices in higher education, highlighting the essential role of teacher discourse in equipping students for proficient communication in professional environments.
