In this thesis, I closely examined the speech used by teachers at selected primary schools to deliver educational content. The focus is on Slovenian language and mathematics teachers at Cerkno Primary School and Blaž Kocen Ponikva Primary School. The central subject of discussion and the main source of information were audio recordings of eight school lessons, obtained on February 16, 2024 (in Cerkno) and March 11, 2024 (in Ponikva). At first I analysed teachers' view towards the use of Slovenian language during their lessons and the importance it has for them. The study centres on auditory analysis from the perspective of orthoepy.I also analysed speech tempo and pauses, particularly those filled with fillers. In the final part of the thesis, I systematically compared and presented the current state of teachers' speech in the selected Slovenian primary schools.
