This study was conducted to analyze the IRF (Initiation-response-feedback) of a high school during learning and to determine the dominant sequence between I, R, F. IRF is a class interaction pattern discovered by Sinclair and Coulthard in 1975, IRF stands for initiation, response, and feedback. Initiation is a strategy in which the teacher initiates interaction to get student responses, then the teacher provides feedback on the response. To obtain data, the researcher conducted classroom observations in one of the SMKN in Kediri City involving an English teacher and 35 students, this study used audio recordings to analyze discourse patterns during the lesson. Based on the results of the analysis, the student response stage is the most dominant stage with 41.38% followed by teacher initiation 34.48% and feedback 24.14%. the analysis shows that students participate actively but their responses are often in the form of repetition rather than showing understanding of the material, this makes the role of the teacher very necessary in classroom learning because interaction is a tool to demonstrate how teachers can create learning opportunities through the use of language and interaction resources. Through verbal and non-verbal interactions, teachers facilitate student engagement by constructing language that engages students to create learning goals.
