Abstract

Observing stage is the first stage in scientific approach where students are allowed to begin the learning activities in the classroom. However, English teachers may not realize if their language use is difficult to understand by learners. To lead the successful teaching-learning activities, it is important to consider the way teachers communicate through their talk. One of the ways to analyze the teacher talk is through classroom discourse analysis. The model of classroom discourse in the present study is based on the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics key concepts. Through the observation in four sessions and the audio-video recording, it has been found that there are 307 speech functions produced by teacher in his talk during the observing stage. Those speech functions are realized in 59 statements, 108 questions, 77 commands, and 63 acknowledgements. The data shows that teacher used those speech functions to give information and explanation to students, to get students’ attention, and to control the classroom activities by giving several directions to students. The result indicates that teacher still has the domination in the teaching-learning process, especially in observing stage. It is also shown that the teacher and students have an unequal power in the classroom.

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the fluctuation of learners’ willingness to communicate in three communicative tasks: Dictogloss, Jigsaw-Game, and problem solving. We focus on learners’ L2 WTC in the classroom context seen from dynamic system theory. Six Indonesian undergraduate learners of English Department comprising linguistic features proficiency and motivational levels were elected as participants by encountering them in a three-subsequent-task performances. Concurrent assesment and Stimulated recall, and in-depth interview were used to investigate learners’ WTC during the task performances in the classroom interaction. The former used WTC-metric by asking the participants to provide scores on five-minute-interval of total 60 minutes task performances, while the two latters used video-taped as stimulus to confirm learners’ interaction in the classroom. The results reveal that learners’ WTC fluctuate during three task performances in conjunction with variables that interplay and interconnect one to another. Additionally, some factors provoking either learners’ willingness or unwillingness to communicate are discussed further.
