The descriptive qualitative design was applied and aimed to analyze the types of talk employed by the teacher in the classroom interaction based on FIACSystem presented by Flanders (1970). The data were analyzed using an interaction model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2013) et al. and focused on the teacher and student talk in ICP class. This research employed observation through video recording in order to reach the objectives of this study.
