| چکیده مقاله |
| Despite the important role of learner initiatives in learning opportunities, there is still insufficient conducted studies onpromoting learner participations in IRF (teacher initiation-student response-teacher feedback) -based contexts. Accordingly, this study attempts to find solutions to this pedagogical problem, and offers methods to make IRF-based classes both accuracy-oriented and fluency-oriented within the certain micro contexts in an institutional framework. The present study adopted qualitative approach to gain insights into the classroom interactions to identify the methods deployed by teachers in response to learner initiatives in order to strike a balance between order and disorder. To achieve this goal, based on conversation analysis, 15 hours of audio-recorded interactions of five different ESL classes taught by five different teachers were collected along with observations and field notes in Young Adult department of Iran Language Institute also known as ILI. Then, the data was analyzed for learner initiatives, teacher’s techniques managing the initiatives, and any possible balance provided by the teachers in the micro contexts of the institutional framework. Hence, this study offers three sets of practices employed by teachers in successfully managing balance between order and disorder. Moreover, there are implications for teachers to adjust their talks in confrontation with learner initiatives in order to maintain their order, and at the same time advance learning opportunities within the confines of institutional context. |
