Abstract
Greetings are a fundamental aspect of human interaction, particularly in educational settings where they play a critical role in establishing rapport, managing classroom dynamics, and creating a conducive learning environment. This study investigates the various linguistic units related to greetings utilized by teachers in their communicative behavior. The research involved 20 teachers from diverse educational institutions, ranging from primary to tertiary levels. Data was collected through classroom observations, audio recordings, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006)
Key words: teacher greetings, classroom communication, rapport building, non-verbal cues, paralinguistic features, student engagement, educational outcomes.
