Abstract

The high quality teachers’ speech acts can effectively impart knowledge, organize the classroom, give demonstrations and make English teaching efficient. Based on speech act theory, the paper tries to analyze teachers’ directives, teachers’ questions and teachers’ feedbacks. The teachers and students of five universities are the subjects, and naturalistic observation and conversation analysis method are used in this study. Some significant conclusions from the paper are expected to meliorate teachers’ teaching methods, so as to increase teaching efficiency.
