On the functional distribution of talk in the E.F.L. Classroom
The use of language is dependent upon a speech event. The position of the participants of a speech event determines the functions of their utterances. Teaching a foreign language is a speech event whose participants do not share the same position with reference to the language knowledge which is the aim and means of their verbal interaction. This paper investigates how this unequal position is reflected upon the level of the language functions performed in the EFL classroom. Having investigated the corpus of transcribed tape-recorded samples of the EFL classroom talk in our schools, the author defines the functions of the classroom language. A quantitative analysis is made in order to discover the presence of each function within the teacher and pupil talk. The distribution of a particular function in teacher and pupil talk is analysed with reference to the communicative task being performed. The obtained results are discussed and their implications for further research are stressed.
