This study is a qualitative study in which researchers conducted interviews with 3 class teachers to obtain data in the form of recording transcriptions. Data were taken from recordings, photo and video documentation. Qualitative analysis of the research data shows that the communication of teachers with deaf students from grades 7 to 9 has many similarities to communicating with students at school. The teacher begins communication by sitting in the middle in front of the students so that students can focus on one teacher. and the teacher begins the conversation approach by asking about their daily lives and after that starts KBM (Teaching and Learning Activities)
