Content
The course introduces a range of key interactional practices that teachers and students employ to accomplish pedagogical goals in second (L2) and foreign language (FL) classrooms. The interactional practices include such phenomena as teacher questions, student responses, student questions, and teacher evaluations, among others. Another aim of the course is to introduce a set of core theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of classroom interaction (e.g. DA, CA and ethnography) through the course readings and short lectures. The course will offer both practical pedagogical insights and research methodological perspective to students.
Completion methods

Contact teaching

No alternative mode of completion for the course is offered: this is very much a hands-on course, where face-to-face discussions and data workshops comprise the core activities of the course.


Assessment details

The course assessment is based on students’ active participation during lectures and in carrying out a small- scale ethnographic observation task. Students are also required to present their findings to peers and submit a written report. The final grade consists of self- and teacher evaluation (30%) and course task (70%).
