Abstract

Teachers play numerous crucial roles in English language classrooms, facilitating language learning and creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. This research project, "Teachers' Roles in English-Language Classrooms" attempts to investigate instructors' perceptions regarding their responsibilities and the most commonly employed roles in classes. The researcher gathered data from both primary and secondary sources for this study. The researcher used purposive selection to pick three government-aided secondary schools in Karnataka state, rural as primary sources. Three English instructors from each school teaching grade nine and their corresponding classrooms were chosen as the sample size. The researcher used a qualitative approach to study teachers' attitudes towards their roles, analyzing and interpreting data through content analysis. Quantification was also used to determine the frequency of roles, but not emphasized. This study found that teachers have good attitudes and perceptions about all jobs, but prioritize communication approaches when advocating for them. In English classes, positions such as organizer and resource were the most common, while prompter, participant, model, and tutor were less common, including social worker and friend were not present.
