 ABSTRACT

A Chittagong university sociological department classroom interactions are the focus of this
study, which attempts to investigate the usage of politeness tactics in these interactions. The
politeness tactics the teacher and the students used in their interactions were investigated in this
study using a descriptive qualitative research approach. A sociology teacher and 20 students
participated in this study. The study’s data consisted of statements that used politeness
techniques. Data were obtained from five regular classes that were audio recorded and afterwards
transcribed. Different politeness tactics were detected in a total of 4 extracts, which were
presented.

study in. I want to sincerely thank my respected boss, Dr. Khairul Islam, for allowing me to carry
out this kind of research. It would be impossible to complete this study adequately without his
consideration. I am so appreciative of my professors’ generosity. I’d want to express my
gratitude to my course teacher my family and friends for helping and encouraging me in a
variety of ways throughout the course of my studies.
