Classroom Discourse
Introduction
The term classroom discourse refers to the
language that teachers and students use to
communicate with each other in the classroom.
Talking, or conversation, is the medium
through which most teaching takes place, so
the study of classroom discourse is the study of
the process of face-to-face classroom teaching.
Recording
1 audio-recordings;
Audio recordings are, in many ways, the easiest
means of capturing spoken interaction in classrooms. The
main difficulty associated with audio-recordings is the
presence of background noise a constant presence that
can make deciphering very difficult.
2 video-recordings;
Video-recordings are a relatively straightforward
means of recording interaction in the classroom and have
the added advantage of providing a visual representation of
what happened.
3 observation;
the observer focuses on one detail in the interaction
such as teachers use of questions, oral feedback,
learnerinvolvement, etc.
4 narrative.
A narrative approach to recording classroom
observation entails the use of an observer who writes a
descriptive account of the lesson as a narrative.
