Dalam mempelajari Bahasa Inggris, ada empat keahlian yang harus dikuasai oleh siswa. Salah satu keahlian yang harus dikuasai adalah keahlian berbicara. Ada beberapa teks yang harus diajarkan pada kelas menengah pertama. Salah satu teks yang harus dipelajari oleh murid menengah pertama adalah teks prosedur. Teks ini bertujuan untuk memberi petunjuk bagaimana untuk melakukan sesuatu melalui beberapa langkah-langkah (Depdiknas, 2004; 37). Dan melalui teacher talk, murid mendapatkan pemahaman tentang materi yang diajarkan. Dikarenakan oleh hal itu, teacher talk menjadi salah satu faktor dasar untuk mencapai kesuksesan pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi jenis dari teacher talk menurut teori Brown (2001) selama penelitian. Data diambil dari guru bahasa Inggris kelas tujuh SMP di Mts. Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Seblak Jombang. Guru membimbing siswa di dalam kelas selama penelitian berlangsung. Interaksi kelas antara guru dan siswa di kelas diobservasi dan direkam melalui perekam telepon genggam tanpa visual. Untuk melengkapi data, penulis juga membuat catatan selama observasi berlangsung. Kemudian data dianalisis menggunakan jenis-jenis teacher talk menurut teori Brown (2001). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ucapan guru punya tujuan yang berbeda. Jenis teacher talk yang paling sering digunakan oleh guru adalah member pertanyaan, member informasi, pujian dan dorongan, tapi untuk  bercanda sangat jarang muncul pada penelitian ini. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunakan teacher talk yang tepat dalam menciptakan interaksi atau hubungan dalam kelas, dapat mengembangkan  keahlian berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa. Disamping itu, guru juga harus menggunakan ucapan yang sesuai dengan tujuan untuk membantu siswa meningkatkan berbahasa Inggris.
