The interaction in the classroom when these activities were put into practice, was observed and analyzed, with the emphasis placed on the creation of cooperative interaction, through comprehensive conversation analysis. From these analyses, how the learners' utterance and chosen subjects were co-constructed through the interaction was observed. The students were using conversation forms, instructors and other language resources to voluntarily take part in establishing interaction, and this indicated the effectiveness of Discussing Myself activities in learning languages. |
