Abstract: The success of teaching depends to a large extent on the way teachers talk and interactions that occur between teachers and students. And the happening of interaction is affected directly by ways of teacher talk. This study investigated ways of teacher talk preferred respectively by teachers and students. It was found that in initiating an interaction, invitation is the first preferred choice by both teachers and students, but the least employed one. Question was more preferred by teachers and the least preferred by students, but it is the mostly used one. Direction is not preferred by teachers but more used, and students prefer them to questions. In ways of follow up, when students produce no answer or an incorrect answer, teachers usually prefer ways of prompting, and this is what teachers really did in class. However, students prefer to be informed by the teacher. When students provide the expected answer, they still prefer to be commented, rather than being just simply acknowledged. Encouragement is always welcomed. It is suggested that teachers should pay attention to their language in the process of interactions with students, so as to provoke more interactions in class.
