The transcripts of NS teacher-NNS student interactions in an evening ESL course revealed a number of techniques that made teacher-student communication effective. Instructors often repeat and rephrase their statements, expand on their utterances and ask genuine questions, as well as gloss (use available mental associations) unfamiliar references. In addition, instructors may use personal pronouns to identify with or detach themselves from their students. This study will be useful for novice ESL teachers as well as practicing instructors who intend to examine their own communicative practices in classrooms.
