| dc.description.abstract | The existing empirical studies in teacher-students relationship (TSR) in either
EFL or non-EFL contexts has been extensively studied by scholars in this field.
However, little is known about the human behavior dimensions in the practice TSR in
the class. Therefore, this study aims (o investigate which of the human behavioral
dimensions that an Indonesian EFL teacher employs when she practices TSR in her
classroom. Grounded in the qualitative research, data of this study are collected
through semi-structured interviews. The findings of this study indicate that the
dimension of agency behavior is incompatible with teacher behavior towards
students, while the dimensions of communion behavior are more in line with what the
teacher has practiced during her interaction with students in the classroom. The
implications of this study suggest that Indonesian EFL teachers seem to be engaged
as a classroom community that builds a good relationship with her students. | en_US |
