Summary/Abstract: Starting from Sinclair and Coulthard’s (1975) theory of lesson stages, this paper focuses on teacher talk, mainly on the language used to introduce the new lesson and to round it off. The two sequences are considered to be connected not only in terms of teaching logic, but also in terms of the language a teacher uses when initiating, going through and concluding these stages. The small scale study this paper describes aims at analyzing to what extend and how exactly the connection between the two stages is made, in teacher’s language terms, by focusing on ten EFL lessons taught by two Romanian teachers to beginner and, respectively, to lower intermediate students.
