Communication is crucial in education and emotional development. Chinese English teachers can improve students' interest in learning English by enhancing their communication style. The way teachers speak and behave affects their connection with students and the effectiveness of communication. By focusing on discourse behavior and immediacy, teachers can increase their willingness to communicate and improve education outcomes.
