Abstract
This study is part of an ongoing study on the speech of teachers in art and crafts classes. Through the study of the speech of teachers, it examines the role of the "third educational language." The results show that the "third educational language," in the forms of "silence" and "paralanguage," has the role of complementing the emotional expression of the teacher and may help children grasp the content of instructional speech given in the "first educational language." The study also suggests that the special use of 'irony' in these classes has the role of stimulating initiative in children. These aspects of speech reveal the educational beliefs of the speakers, that is, the teachers. From this a hypothetical image of an art teacher embodying the "educational atmosphere" proposed by Otto Bollnow was presented.
