The correlation between students' perceptions of three dimensions of classroom justice, teacher immediacy, and teacher caring has been found important since it can provide a learning ambiance for students in which they can enthusiastically learn a new language. To find out this relationship, the present study has strived to probe into the interplay between the aforementioned variables and to see whether teacher caring and teacher immediacy can predict students' perception of justice. In so doing, the participants of this study were 1,178 Chinese EFL students of various ages and education levels. Three instruments were utilized in this study to perceive the students' perception of classroom justice, teacher immediacy, and teacher caring. To collect the data, these instruments were distributed through an online survey software called (Questionnaire Star). Results demonstrated that there was a positive association among these three variables, and utilizing SEM analyses, it was found that both teacher immediacy and teacher caring predict students' perception of classroom justice that implies teachers who are found to be more caring and give appropriate verbal and non-verbal immediacy where needed, are perceived to change the students' understanding of the classroom justice to a positive attitude. Finally, the results of this study were discussed regarding previous findings, and accordingly, some implications were put forward in the EFL context.
学生对课堂公正三个维度、教师即时性和教师关怀的认知之间的相关性已被发现是重要的，因为它可以为学生提供一种学习氛围，使他们能够热情地学习一门新语言。为了探究这种关系，本研究致力于探讨上述变量之间的相互作用，并观察教师关怀和教师即时性是否能够预测学生对公正的认知。在此过程中，本研究的参与者是1178名不同年龄和教育水平的中国英语学习者。本研究使用了三种工具来了解学生对课堂公正、教师即时性和教师关怀的认知。为了收集数据，这些工具通过一个名为（问卷星）的在线调查软件进行分发。结果表明，这三个变量之间存在正相关关系，并且通过结构方程模型分析发现，教师即时性和教师关怀都能预测学生对课堂公正的认知，这意味着那些被发现更具关怀心且在需要时给予适当言语和非言语即时性的教师，会被认为能将学生对课堂公正的理解转变为积极态度。最后，本研究的结果结合先前的研究结果进行了讨论，并据此在英语学习环境中提出了一些启示。
