Abstract: This study examines the techniques and messages that American and Thai teachers use to gain compliance from their students. Findings are based upon in-depth interviews with 30 teachers (10 American teachers from Ohio University, 10 Thai teachers teaching in a Thai program at Bangkok University, and 10 Thai teachers teaching in an international program at Assumption University), and observations of four classrooms at each university. The study shows student behaviors that the American and Thai teachers feel compelled to control can be divided into three main groups: disruptive, negligent, and opposing. The compliance-gaining techniques and messages that the teachers said they usually used with their students can be divided into two main groups: proactive and reactive techniques. The differences in using those techniques stem more from individual rather than cultural preferences. When their earlier compliance-gaining attempts fail, the teachers either escalate or maintain the degree of using those techniques. Likewise, the teachers either continue or discontinue gaining compliance from their student when their attempts succeed.
