Two complementary modes of foreign language classroom interaction

The aim of this paper is to look at foreign language (FL) classroom talk as a special type of interaction (Seedhouse 1996; Cullen 1998), which has two complementary modes: the natural and the pedagogical (Stern 1983; Kramsch 1985; Gil 1999). The reason for adopting such a perspective is that it seems to create a bridge between theory-driven investigations of classroom interaction and actual pedagogical practice in the foreign language classroom.

Received April 2001.
