Nguyen Sinh Cung High School, Thua Thien Hue Province It focuses on teacher move classes, teacher move structures and speech acts performed in the teacher move The subjects of this study are ten lessons of EFL classes performed by the teachers of English in Nguyen Sinh Cung High School The analysis of the data collected by a recorder and classroom observations are based on the analysis system of classroom discourse set out by Coulthard (1992) The results of this study indicate that : - There exist five teacher move classes in the ten EFL lessons, and most of the teacher moves are opening and follow-up ones - Most of the teacher moves contain simple structures that are created by one or two elements only, and the element, head (h), occurs most frequently in the teacher move structures - There are nineteen types of speech acts appearing in the teacher moves, and some of them are very dominant Through the research findings, some implications for teachers to improve their EFL teaching in high schools are drawn CHAPTER INTRODUCTION In this chapter, firstly the background and the rationale of the research are mentioned Secondly, the research aims and the research scope are presented Thirdly, this chapter also tells you the research questions that will be answered in Chapter of the research Finally, it provides us with some useful information about the significance and the structure of the research 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH Interaction is regarded as being central to language acquisition, especially the interaction which occurs between teachers and learners ( Ellis, 1998) The quality of the interaction is largely determined by teachers in their face to face communication with learners (Walsh, 2006, p 20) According to Walsh (2006), maximizing interaction is not as important as optimizing it, and it is therefore the teacher‟s ability to manage learner contributions which will determine the success of a lesson rather than simply „handing over‟ to a group of learners by emphasizing pair- and group-work Therefore, successful teaching stems from successful management of the interaction (Allwright, 1984a, p.159) and the teacher, with his/her special role, understands, establishes and maintains patterns of communication that will foster classroom language learning ( Johnson, 1995 ) There is clearly considerable emphasis here on the role of the teacher, the more „competent interlocutor‟, who is crucial to ensuring that input is comprehensible and that learner output is shaped in some way so that it is productive (Walsh, 2006, p.23) Thus, there is a need to consider the interaction that occurs between teachers and learners For this purpose, it is essential for EFL teachers to get an understanding of the features of classroom discourse, which help them to establish and maintain good language interaction with their students in EFL classes The features of EFL classroom discourse may be easy to identify, and they present a very clear structure where the teachers control both the topic of conversation and turn-taking and the students receive their cues from the teachers through whom they direct most of their responses (Walsh, 2006) Furthermore, in response to the communication tendency in language teaching, there has been an increasing interest in studying the language interaction inside the classroom since the late 1940‟s As said above, the classroom language is one of the very important factors helping teachers to be successful in their lectures, especially foreign language teachers Therefore, there has been a lot of research into classroom language evaluating the output of the teachers and the students, the procedures in classrooms, and types of teacher-student relationship in order to raise the quality of teaching Classroom discourse analysis is a beneficial tool to evaluate approaches to language classrooms and explore new application in language teaching ( Jaworski & Coupland, 1999; Schiffrin, 1999) According to Sinclair and Coulthard ( 1975, 1992 ), there is a model for the analysis of spoken interaction which is very useful for describing talk in the classroom It consists of five units arranged from the largest to the smallest : Lesson Transaction Exchange Move Act This model is a hierarchical structure where smaller units combine to form larger ones Sinclair and Coulthard ( 1975, 1992 ) and Mehan (1979) identified a basic structure of classroom discourse, the Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) exchange structure which often consists of three moves The teacher begins with an initiation (opening move), the learner responds (answering move), the teacher gives feedback to the learner‟s response (follow-up move) This model (IRF), sometimes known as Initiation/Response/Evaluation, has been developed in the work of Ventola (1987), Martin (1992), Wells (1993), and Cazden (2001) However, in English as a foreign language (EFL) classes today students may often ask teachers questions (opening move) and teachers give them answers (answering move) It means that an answering move may be produced by teachers The fourth unit MOVE, a functional unit in classroom discourse, may be produced by teachers or students This research focuses mainly on the moves produced by teachers, the teacher moves 1.2 RATIONALE According to Brown (1994), the current communication tendency in teaching and learning languages requires that the teachers only take roles as guides and learners have to try their best to deal with the problems in a lesson, not that learners only listen to their teachers and little interaction appears in the class As a result, the interaction between teachers and learners in classes is increasing In addition, teachers control most of the patterns of communication primarily through the ways in which they restrict or allow learners‟ interaction, take control of the topic, and facilitate or hinder learning opportunities (Walsh, 2006, p.5) For example, in the extract below, the teacher selects who may talk (turn 1), controls the topic of conversation (turn 1), evaluates the learner‟s performance (turns 3,5,7), manages both the language form and the message (turn 5), and selects another speaker (turn 7) Teacher (T), Student (S) T ok Erica could you explain something about law and order in Japan what happens if you commit a crime ? S1 almost same as Britain policeman come to take somebody to police station T yes S1 and prisoner questioned and if he is ( seconds unintelligible) T yes what‟s the verb Eric Erica … if she or he yes [ commits a crime ] they go to S1 they go to court yes but if they he they didn‟t that they can go home T they can go home (…) very good indeed right what happens in Brazil (Walsh, 2006, p.7) As a result, there is really a challenge for EFL teachers in how they take part in the classroom discourse, establish and maintain the patterns of communication in order to gain positive influences on their teaching For instance, the communicative approach of teaching shows that teachers should help students to take long turns and take part in conversations in classroom, especially students who need interactive 10 13 Flanders, N.A (1965) Teacher Influence, Pupil Attitudes and Achievement : Studies in Interaction Analysis Co-operative research Monographs No 12, U.S Government Printing Office 14 Jaworski, A &Coupland, N (Eds.)

otherwise they see themselves as commenting 16 accept (acc) Realized by a closed class of items – „yes‟, „no‟, „good‟, „fine‟, and repetition of pupil‟s reply, all with neutral low fall intonation Its function is to indicate that the teacher has heard or seen and that the informative, reply or react was appropriate 17 evaluate (e) Realized by statements and tag questions, including words and phrases such as „good‟, „interesting‟, „team point‟, commenting on the quality of the reply, react or initiation, also by „yes‟, „no‟, „good‟, „fine‟, with a high – fall intonation, and repetition of the pupil‟s reply with either high-fall (positive ), or a rise of any kind (negative evaluation) 18 silent stress ( ^ ) Realized by a pause, of the duration of one or more beats, following a marker It functions to highlight the marker when it is serving as the head of a boundary exchange indicating a transaction boundary 19 metastatement (ms) Realized by a statement which refers to some future time when what is described will occur Its function is to help the pupils to see the structure of the 75 lesson, to help them understand the purpose of the subsequent exchange, and see where they are going 20 conclusion (con) Realized by an anaphoric statement, sometimes marked by slowing of speech rate and usually the lexical items „so‟ or „then‟ In a way it is the converse of metastatement Its function is again to help the pupils understand the structure of the lesson but this time by summarizing what the preceding chunk of discourse was about 21 loop (l) Realized by a closed class of items – „pardon‟, „you what‟, „eh‟, „again‟, with rising intonation and a few questions like „did you say‟, „do you mean‟ Its function is to return the discourse to the stage it was at before the pupil spoke, from where it can proceed normally 22 aside (z) Realized by statement, question, command, moodless, usually marked by lowering the tone of the voice, and not really addressed to the class As we noted above, this category covers items we have difficulty in dealing with It is really instances of the teacher talking to himself : „ It‟s freezing in here‟, „Where did I put my chalk ?‟ ( Coulthard, 1992, p.18-21) 76 APPENDIX : CLASSROOM OBSERVATION SHEET The following is the model of observation sheets that I have used to collect the data for this study Observation Sheet (Only for MA research) Lesson : …………………………………………………… Class : …………… Teacher in charge : ………………………………………… Date : ……………… Classroom Language Interaction ………… Classes Structures Classes of of move of move act ………… ………… 77 ……… APPENDIX : TRANSCRIPTS A CD that contains the recordings of the ten EFL lessons is enclosed with this thesis The following are some extracts of the ten EFL lessons transcribed from the recordings T : Teacher Student : S Students : Ss Transcript : Lesson : Tieng Anh 11- Unit – Reading T What is the synonym of “make noise” ?
