Project Title: Teacher Language and Talk in the Primary English Language Classrooms

Project Introduction: This study aims to investigate teacher language and talk of a group of primary school teachers and ascertain their perceptions of it as they engage in English language related literacy practices. We aim to examine the talk teachers engage in for teaching and learning purposes, explore the effectiveness of this talk alongside teachers’ perceptions of the language that they use. By investigating this, we will be better informed of how language unfolds within our classroom context and environment. This is significant because teacher talk creates input for teaching and learning, as part of the lesson enactment process of a teacher. Findings drawn will enhance current knowledge of the role of language and talk in lesson delivery. This study will also have implications on teacher training and development in terms of refining current teacher education and professional development courses and programmes especially in the area of lesson enactment processes and practices.
