| description | The concept of communication in the field of education has been discussed by language teachers, scholars, and researchers among others. This article analyzes and reflects on the way in which language teachers and students communicate in the language classroom. This analysis was done based on the rules of the Cooperative Principle, proposed by Paul Grice in 1975. The inquiry consisted on studying how the teacher and students flout the maxims of communication proposed by the principle (quality, quantity, relation and manner). For the analysis, an eighth grade English class at a private school was recorded, and parts of the video were extracted. This analysis is not focused on studying how teachers and students make mistakes, but rather how communication is carried out in the language classroom. |

El concepto de comunicación en el campo de la educación ha sido discutido por profesores de idiomas, académicos, investigadores, entre otros. Este artículo analiza y reflexiona sobre la forma en que un profesor de idiomas y los estudiantes se comunican en el aula de idiomas. Este análisis se realiza con base en las reglas del Principio Cooperativo, propuesto por Paul Grice en 1975. El análisis consiste en estudiar cómo el docente y los estudiantes incumplen las máximas propuestas en este principio (calidad, cantidad, relación y manera). Para el análisis, se extrajeron algunas partes de un video de clase de inglés, grabado en una escuela privada. Los estudiantes están en octavo grado. El análisis no se centra en estudiar cómo los maestros y los estudiantes cometen errores, sino en analizar cómo se lleva a cabo la comunicación en el aula de idiomas.
