In this study, how interjections, one of phatic communion, are used in class is focused. To serve this purpose, three classes of the Korean classroom were ‘recorded and transcribed’ and then ‘inspected and analyzed.’ The implications of the aspects of interjections as phatic communion in Korean classrooms in this study are as follows: First, with respect to the interjections segmented according to the type, the interjections used by the teacher are not as frequent as those used by the learners. Second, the interjections of specific types were frequently used in teacher’s utterances, while those of the basic type and positive and negative type were frequently used in learners’ ones. Third, the interjections as phatic communion are applicable to one factor which affects the interaction between the teacher and the learners. Although there are some limits in description, this study is meaningful that it suggests the meaning elements of interjectional marks can be reinterpreted not only clearly in propositional meaning but in a various ways in the viewpoint of pragmatics. Moreover, it suggests that it is necessary to teach and learn the interjections in class to improve the interactions between the teacher and the learners.
