Classroom language is powerful. It reflects a teacher's intended lesson, cultural background, and belief system. Teacher language and all of the nuances associated with human communication can present information, encourage, discourage, and indoctrinate. How this language is interpreted by students impacts their learning and success, as the classroom teacher is pivotal in communicating the school's expected outcomes for each student.
