Overall, it did not appear that teachers of a particular class level used different types of language more than other teachers teaching a different class level. Both the teachers of the classes of ten to twelve year olds used the same types of language in exactly the same order. However, two teachers of the six to eight year old classes also used these types of language. All teachers had the language type of response to and repetition of student answers, in their four most frequently used types of language during the observation. The language type categories of instructions and closed questions featured in nine out of ten teachers most frequently used language types. Six out of ten teachers used the same four language types in varying orders of frequency, during their lessons. These types of language were response to and repetition of student answers, instructions, closed questions and on task discussion.
