The design of this study was a descriptive qualitative research. The data were taken from observations and interviews with teacher and students. To identify the dispositions of a caring teacher, a theory by Carloz F. Diaz et al. (2005) was applied. In analyzing the data, the researcher used Miles and Huberman’s Framework (1994). The result of this study showed that (1) There were three dispositions found in the English teacher, they were: respect all students, believe that all children could learn, and classroom for social justice. It meant that the teacher was a caring teacher. By being a caring teacher, the students were more motivated to learn English.
