Summary Excerpt Details

This paper will focus on conversation analysis of classroom discourse in second language classrooms. Since there are many aspects to spoken discourse, such as turn taking, openings and closings, the author chose to focus on repairs as error corrections, which is common for classroom discourse. Therefore, the paper analyses which type of repair is the most dominant among all four types that one would encounter in second language classrooms.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introduction defines conversation analysis (CA) and its application to classroom discourse. It then narrows the focus to repair practices in L2 classrooms, particularly error correction, and outlines the paper's structure. The theoretical background provides a comprehensive explanation of repair mechanisms in general, classroom discourse characteristics, and L2 classroom discourse specificities. The chapter details the four types of repairs: self-initiated-self-repair, self-initiated-other-repair, other-initiated-self-repair, and other-initiated-other-repair. It also discusses the role of error correction in L2 classrooms, including the debate on its effectiveness. Finally, the conversation analysis section presents examples of repair practices from the chosen transcript, illustrating the different types of repairs and their occurrences.
