ABSTRAK

This thesis was aimed to find teacher communication strategies during classroom interaction.  This research was conducted in SMP SWASTA Brigjend Katamso 1 Medan.  The subject of this research was the English Teacher.  We used a qualitative approach, more specifically classroom discourse analysis, in analyzing this  study  since  the  source  of  the  data  were  communication  strategies  which are used by an English teacher in communicating with her students during an English teaching learning  activity.  We took the data by recording 90 minutes of English Lessons. We used Faerch and Kasper as a framework for this data analysis, for the reason of its specification and newness. The result showed that the five strategies used were repetition.  From those strategies, code switching was the strategy that was  most  frequently  used  by  the  teacher  during  the  process  of  teaching  and learning. The teacher`s reasons for applying those communication strategies were to  overcome  the  communication  barriers  that  occur  between  the  teacher  and  the students   to   help   the   students   understand   and   memorize   the material   more accessible. The  result  of  the interview  also  showed  that  the  students  had  a  good perception of the implementation of communication strategies used by the teacher in the classroom
