The research centers on an EFL teacher as the subject and employs conversation analysis as the methodological approach. The primary aim is to explore how teachers utilize illocutionary acts to influence language learning experiences. The findings underscore the inherent authority of teachers in shaping classroom discourse and instructional interactions. Specifically, the study reveals that teachers predominantly exert influence through assertive acts, utilizing these to convey information effectively and provide instructional guidance. However, in an ideal classroom environment, there exists a harmonious balance of authority where teachers maintain instructional leadership while also empowering students to actively participate in their learning process. This balance fosters a collaborative atmosphere conducive to effective communication, mutual respect, and meaningful engagement in educational activities.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассматриваются иллокутивные акты в контексте обучения английскому языку как иностранному (EFL), с акцентом на их типы и функции. Исследование сосредоточено на учителе EFL как объекте и анализирует беседы с учителем с точки зрения методологического подхода. Основная цель заключается в изучении того, как учителя используют иллокутивные акты для влияния на процесс изучения языка. Результаты подчеркивают присущую учителям власть в формировании дискурса в классе и учебных взаимодействий. В частности, исследование показывает, что учителя в основном оказывают влияние через ассертивные акты, используя их для эффективной передачи информации и предоставления учебных рекомендаций. Однако в идеальной учебной среде существует баланс власти, при котором учителя сохраняют учебное руководство, а также наделяют студентов полномочиями активно участвовать в процессе обучения. Этот баланс способствует созданию атмосферы, благоприятной для эффективного общения, взаимного уважения и значимого участия в учебных занятиях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>CA</kwd><kwd>interaction</kwd><kwd>power</kwd><kwd>types</kwd><kwd>function</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>взаимодействие</kwd><kwd>типы</kwd><kwd>функции</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Darong, H.C. &amp; Neldis, N.
