The present study concerns with the fl outing maxim occurred in EFL classroom interaction. It was aimed at investigating how the conversational implicatures especially fl outing maxim are be- ing formed in teacher and students dialog during EFL teaching and learning process. The present study used qualitative approach. The data taken from teacher and students interaction in EFL classroom are being transcribed and analyzed by categorizing utterances based on the fl outing of maxim theory proposed by H.P. Grice. Based on the data analysis, it has been discovered that during the conversa- tion, all speakers happen to be successful in observing maxims. The proportion of non-observance maxim is only 2%. Sorts of maxim that is fl outed by speaker are maxim of quantity, quality and man- ner. The fl out of maxim is done by students because of their lack of linguistic and actional competence.
