Applying CA to the Understanding of How Interactional Teaching Strategies Contribute to the Development of Communicative Competence: A Case Study of Online English Lessons Delivered to a Group of Four Mature Students
KOUBOVÁ, Simona
Maintaining relationships with students is one of the most important tasks for a teacher. If the relationship is well-built and steady, the teacher can start focusing on the way of managing classroom interaction. In this regard, there is no single universal conclusion, therefore this thesis will aim to map the process of interaction itself. The study focuses mainly on the parts of sessions in which there occurred the successful development of language skills in the foreign language as well as the development of fluency in the spoken language. The research takes the form of a case study of a group of four students of English as a foreign language. All of them were more than fifty years old. Each student had not only a different level of language skills but also different motivations for studying English-it was a small heterogenous group of adult learners. The teaching process was done fully in the online environment during the Covid-19 pandemic. 50 data samples were gathered from 11 sessions, each spanning approximately 60-90 minutes. These became the subject of analysis and interpretation. Data analysis was done using the conversational analysis methodology, specifically conversational analysis for second language acquisition (CA-for-SLA). Via this methodology, the process of data collection was done through audio recordings. Parts of them were transcribed word-by-word, using a simplified transcription system. The transcripts were further studied and analysed to capture interactional strategies used by a teacher during the language acquisition process through which developed interactional competence was shown, and how this competence contributed to the development of learners' communicative competence.
