1. Introduction
In recent years, studies of teacher talk have received considerable attention. As Nunan points out, teacher talk plays a significant role both in organizing the classroom teaching and in acquiring the foreign language; it is not only an instrument for teachers to implement teaching plan, but also the main source of language input for foreign language learners( Nunan,1991:42). In junior English class, teacher talk works as a special language used by teachers and it is very different from other languages in non-English class in that it serves both the teaching medium and the learning aim. Teacher talk on the basis of politeness principle can not only improve the relationship between teachers and students but also help teachers observe politeness principle to avoid pragmatic failure.
This paper aims to analyze teacher talk in junior English class from the perspective of the politeness principle. The study is undertaken to find out how the politeness phenomenon is manifested in instructions, questioning and feedback-giving and what politeness strategies are adopted to show politeness in junior English class, which helps English teachers improve the effectiveness of teacher talk and enhance the teaching efficiency.
