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.
