Welcome to the Presentation on Classroom Language

What is classroom language?

Classroom language is the routine language that is used on a regular

basis in the classroom like giving instructions of praise or asking
questions and telling something, for example “Take out your books” or
“Please sit down”.
Why Classroom Language is Important?

Teachers and students use spoken and written language to communicate

with each other, to present tasks, engage in learning processes, present
academic content, assess learning, display knowledge and skills, and
build classroom life. In addition, much of what students learn
is language.
