Read More The main objective of this qualitative study was to examine the relationships between teachers and language learners based on the care theory proposed by Noddings (1998) and Logstrup (1997). In this research, the concept of care is explored in relation to linguistic aspects such as verbal interaction and meaning transfer, through which a caring relationship between the teacher and the student is established. Data were collected through interviews with ten language learners in these schools. The data were then analyzed using the coding stages of grounded theory (Corbin & Strauss, 1990) and MAXQDA software version 24. In this research, 22 sub-codes and four main codes were identified, leading to the development of a new theoretical model for the teacher-student care relationship. The main categories of this relationship included communication and interaction, teaching methods, understanding and support, and individual characteristics of teachers. Additionally, the subcategories encompassed: respect, reciprocal relationships, individual attention, patient listening to students, dialogue with students, relational literacy, teacher courage in initiating care relationships, honesty, compassion, encouragement, full engagement, motivational shifts, emotional support, trust-based communication, supportive environments, appropriate teaching methods, teacher availability, student interaction, realistic expectations from students, responsiveness, and the incorporation of fun and humor. Ultimately, this research demonstrates how psychological characteristics of language and applied linguistics can play a significant role in understanding and enhancing educational communications. The findings of this study suggest several educational implications for policymakers, teachers, and language learners from a psychological perspective, aiming to enhance their understanding and application of the concept of ‘care,’ which will contribute to teachers' professional growth and improve students' educational outcomes.
