AB The aim of this paper is to present and to discuss research findings focused on possible forms of a teacher's monologue and communication styles of teachers at lower secondary level of elementary school. These lead to using monologues in teacher's speech while giving instructions to the class. The research is based on qualitative analysis of data from non-standardised observation of 6 teachers during their practice at standard elementary schools. The data include also field notes from direct observations and 24 transcribed video recordings. Obtained data show that the dominance of teachers talk in the class is still a powerful factor and is demonstrated in the form of embedded monologue. The causesof such a behaviour in relation to teachers' communication styles are discussed in this paper.
