reason to interrupt or overlap in the conversation. Those reasons are asking for
help, seek clarification, requesting for clarification or repetition, correcting,
disagreeing and rejecting some points. The writer used the descriptive approach to

children and the teacher. The findings of the study show that boys interrupt and
overlap more than girls. The most reason of interruption that produced by boys is
requesting a repetition and the most reason of overlap that produced by boys is for
seeking clarification.
