The study aimed to determine and analyze classroom interactions in Social Science, Filipino and Physical Education subjects at Mariano Marcos State University. Specifically, the researcher analyzed the pattern of exchanges of teachers and students; language used by teachers and students; linguistic structure of teachers’ and students’ utterances; and language function of teachers’and students’ utterances. Tape recorder was used in recording classroom interactions. Based from the study, there were seven structures of exchanges from teachers’ and students’utterances. These were the TPT, TP, TPTPT, TPTP, T, TPPPT, TPTP, TPPP, and PT. English, code-mixing, Filipino, code-switching, and Ilokano were used in the discussion. The use of English language in all classes and Filipino language in Filipino classes was revealed. Code-mixing was also integrated to facilitate easier discussion, communication , sharing of ideas, opinions; and as a result of being trilingual or bilingual. Ilokano language was used by teachers to give emphasis for the first utterance, and to encourage students to participate in classroom interactions while students share their opinions, and reactions. Code-switching was used to share quotations, examples, use of tag questions while students share messages. Teachers most often used paragraphs, phrases, sentences, and words in class discussions. Fifteen categories such as informative, elicitation, directive, comment, marker, conclusion, cue, aside, nomination, accept, check, starter, prompt, metastatement, and evaluate were also used. Meanwhile, reply, silence, react, informative, elicitation, comment and loop were also revealed.
