Abstract

A considerable research has been initiated into the nature of classroom interaction practices; however, it seems that not many on wait time that is the duration of silence time between questions of teacher and answers of student. This paper targets revealing how long the educator gave between the inquiry offered to the students and their responses in EFL homerooms in Kota Padang. Eighteen middle teachers with their particular classes were engaged with this review. Conversation analysis was used to look at the ‘wait time’ the teacher provided for their students in EFL classrooms and stimulated recall interviews (SRI) to investigate the reason for the teacher’s ‘wait time’. The findings showed that most teachers in junior high schools in Kota Padang gave shorter ‘wait time’ than the recommended wait time (3–5 s); however, these teachers were not aware of their wait time practice in EFL classrooms. In addition, the researcher found that the language of the question affect the ‘wait time’.
