Wallner, Lars; Eriksson Barajas, Katarina – Classroom Discourse, 2023
The Swedish gender-neutral pronoun (GNP) "hen" has been in popular use since its (re)introduction to the public in 2012. Earlier research, analysing newspapers, academic papers and blogs, shows two uses of "hen": when gender is unknown and when gender is irrelevant. However, there is a lack of studies of verbal, situated, uses…

Soheil Kargar Dahr; Baqer Yaqubi; Sajjad Pouromid; Mahmood Dehqan – Classroom Discourse, 2024
While existing research into L2 classroom discourse has highlighted how knowledge and knowledge positions are negotiated, no attention seems to have been paid to what might be called "conceptual epistemic domains." Drawing on 22 hours of video-recorded data from Iranian EFL classrooms, our conversation analytic study illustrates how…

Eilola, Laura – Classroom Discourse, 2023
Adopting the methods of multimodal conversation analysis, this study demonstrates that adult second language (L2) users with emergent literacy formulate requests as 'complex multimodal Gestalts' consisting prototypically of deictic or depictive gestures combined with gaze, situationally relevant material, and vocal or linguistic resources. The…

Classroom discourse is an interdisciplinary area of study that contributes to multiple domains of knowledge, including pedagogy, teacher training, second language acquisition, and communities of practice, to name a few.

Amar, Cheikhna; Nanbu, Zachary; Greer, Tim – Classroom Discourse, 2022
Based on interaction recorded in EFL classrooms, this study uses Conversation Analysis to document the post-first deployment of an absurd candidate formulation (ACF) to pursue recipient response at points of interactional delay.

Sybing, Roehl – Classroom Discourse, 2023
The contemporary literature regarding dialogic classroom interaction has primarily focused on the meaning-making attributes of dialogue while acknowledging but otherwise providing less emphasis to the social dimensions of the learning community and the dialogic resources that students bring to the classroom. As a result, this paper explores the…

Houen, S.; Danby, S.; Farrell, A.; Thorpe, K. – Classroom Discourse, 2019
Teachers' interactional practices shape children's displays of knowledge. Teachers often rely on direct interactional devices, such as questions, to call for knowledge displays from children. However, case examples suggest that interactional strategies that downgrade teachers' expert status, such as 'I wonder…' formulations may enhance child…

Looney, Stephen Daniel; He, Yingliang – Classroom Discourse, 2021
This paper investigates the use of laughter and smiling to manage (dis)affiliation during two types of disturbances in the interactional unfolding of classrooms: delayed and disaligning responses. The analysis reveals that the sequential position and embodied turn design are integral to understanding the (dis)affiliative work laughter and smiling…

Starrett, Emily; Firetto, Carla M.; Jordan, Michelle E. – Classroom Discourse, 2023
As educators learn about new tools to utilise in their classrooms, there can be questions and ambiguity that accompany the new information; yet they are not always given time or support to address their questions. Acknowledging and embracing the uncertainties that teachers inevitably face when learning about new instructional approaches can help…

Conversation analysis (CA) has been used for interventionist purposes in different fields, such as medicine, mediation services, and speech and language therapy, but it has yet to be fully utilised in teacher education. In this report, I describe how CA is used in teacher supervision to intervene with the development of a student-teacher (ST) in a…
