Classroom Discourse

In applied linguistics, classroom-based discourse studies focus on the interaction between teachers and their students and between students in the classroom. Analyzing classroom discourse is important for various reasons, some of which I list here:Since classroom teachers play an essential role in creating and managing classroom discourse, it is necessary for them to gain “‘microscopic understandings’ (Van Lier, 2000) of the interactional organization of the L2 classroom” (Walsh, 2011, p. 51) so they can make good interactive and pedagogical decisions. Such “microscopic understandings” also help them go beyond assumptions, stereotypes, and cultural generalizations in understanding differences in learners’ classroom participation (Rymes, 2016).
