Abstract

The present competence of language learners influences the process, particularly in modifying the input to ensure the exact level of comprehensibility they can manage. It involves the negotiation of meaning (NfM) and form (NfF). Teachers need to pay attention to how frequently both processes occur in classroom interaction and whether the teachers use this situation to enhance students’ language acquisition. Thus, this study aims to seek information concerning the negotiation of meaning and form in the natural classroom setting involving student teachers in a practicum program. To reach the objective of this study, two research questions will address: (1) Do negotiation of meaning and form take place in student-teacher-student interaction in a natural EFL classroom setting? (2) How do the student-teachers use negotiation of meaning and form strategies in the EFL classroom? Mixed method research will be employed by analyzing the utterances and conducting interviews. The analysis of the study reveals that firstly, NfM and NfF are two common occurrences in the student-teacher interaction in the natural EFL classroom under study; secondly, the strategies used by both NfM and NfF covered the negotiation processes with various moves and Long’s (1996) types of signals embracing confirmation check, clarification request, and comprehension check in certain circumstances. Eventually, this study brings profound implications in two areas, namely the design of a teacher training curriculum and the teaching pedagogy.

Abstract

The process of negotiating meaning and form can contribute to successful communication and become an attempt of the interlocutors to overcome comprehension difficulties when the communication is interrupted. The present research explores the interactional nature of teacher-student communication during English classrooms. Analyzing the process of negotiation relatively serves as a major basis in this study; however, the extended process needs to be seen as the negotiation reaches mutual understanding. This study, therefore, aims to identify whether the negotiation of meaning and form reach the resolution and mutual interchangeability, and investigate the structures. The data were 20 teaching practicum videos of 10 student-teachers. Mixed method research was employed in this study. The quantitative and qualitative analysis were used to find out the number of negotiations that reached resolution and the structure of negotiation process respectively. The results showed 70% of interactional work between teacher and students in the negotiation processes, for both meaning and form, achieves mutual interchangeability with variety of negotiation route. Variations of its structure are made as strategies of successful communication for teacher candidates to acquire. Eventually, this study provides theoretical and practical benefits for the student-teachers, the lecturers, and the English Education Department.
