ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Teacher-learner classroom interactions are beautiful yet intricate. This phenomenon forms part of the lifespan of most individuals and occurs every day in classrooms worldwide. As a beginner teacher I have personally experienced a vast array of classroom interactions which at times have left me speechless, upset or confused. However this particular study enabled me to view interaction from a different angle, as I had the privilege of observing interaction from an outside(r) perspective. In this study the aim is thus to provide its reader with greater insight and understanding of the nature of teacher-learner classroom interactions. It also sheds light on the core constituents of teacher-learner interactions and how these influence teaching and learning processes and eventually the teacher-learner relationship. Three main concepts that emerged from the onset of the study are pedagogy, power and affect which not only strongly emanated from the literature but eventually also from the research findings. A qualitative study was undertaken by means of a collective case study research design. Observation was conducted in two grade nine classrooms at two different schools. In both cases findings in eight categories emerged, namely power, teacher behaviour, pedagogy, teacher affect, communication, learner behaviour, human qualities and characteristics and relational aspects. The findings suggest that teachers develop Emotional Intelligence strategies not only to enhance relationship building or teacher-learner interactions but also to maintain a certain level of emotional well-being. Teachers should also aim to incorporate a critical pedagogy approach and learner empowerment in their teaching practice to prepare the contemporary adolescent for a rapidly changing modern society. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Onderwyser-leerder interaksie is besonders maar kompleks. Die fenomeen vorm deel van die lewensduur van meeste individue en speel homself daagliks uit in klaskamers wêreldwyd. As ‘n beginner onderwyseres het ek eerstehandse ervaring van klaskamer interaksie. By tye, het interaksies met leerders my al sprakeloos, verward en ontsteld gelaat. Hierdie studie het my egter in staat gestel om interaksie vanuit ‘n ander oogpunt te beskou. Ek was bevoorreg genoeg om onderwyser-leerder klaskamer interaksie vanuit die perspektief van ‘n buitestaander te aanskou. Hierdie studie poog om die leser se kennis en begrip aangaande die aard van onderwyser-leerder klaskamer interaksie uit te brei. Dit werp ook lig op kern aspekte van dié interaksie en hoe dit onder meer onderrig- en leerprosesse, sowel as die onderwyser-leerder verhouding beïnvloed. Drie vername konsepte wat vanuit die literatuur spruit sluit in: pedagogie, mag en die affektiewe wat ook uiteindelik sterk na vore in die bevindinge kom. ‘n Kwalitatiewe studie is onderneem aan die hand van ‘n gesamentlike gevallestudie. Waarnemings is gemaak in twee graad nege klasse by twee verskillende skole. In albei gevalle het die data bevinindings in agt kategorieë gelewer, naamlik: mag, onderwyser gedrag, pedagogie, onderwyser affek, kommunikasie, leerder gedrag, menslike karaktereienskappe en verhoudings-aspekte. Vanuit die bevindinge word voorgestel dat onderwysers Emosionele Intelligensie strategieë ontwikkel. Hierdie strategieë kan onder meer bydra tot ‘n beter verhouding tussen onderwysers en leerders en onderwysers baat ten opsigte van hul persoonlike emosionele welstand. Daarbenewens, kan onderwysers hulself wend tot ‘n kritiese pedagogiese onderrigbenadering asook die bemagtiging van hul leerders om uiteindelik die kontemporêre adolessent vir die moderne samelewing voor te berei.
