An analysis of student talk in the interaction between the teacher and students

This study aimed to give student opportunities to gain communicative abilities, and analyze the student talk in the interaction between the teacher and students. The subjects were 2 elementary school teachers and 2 sixth grade classes. This study included the data from nineteen times of class observation, and questionnaires. From the participation observation, it was founded that children had rarely made spontaneous productions in teacher-oriented class. Children had to react on teacher's questions and directions or made compulsory production such as repetitions and other skills by the teacher. This was based on the teachers' conscious attitude that learning by repetition still plays an important role in the class. These results led to the conclusion that specialized teachers should be trained so that they can facilitate students to utilize their process competence for learning in the class. Teachers should show the direction of classroom management to students, encourage students to initiate talk through interesting materials, and give students enough wait time.
