Classroom interaction analysis involves the use of an observation
scheme consisting of a finite set of predetermined categories for describing
certain verbal behaviors of teachers and students as they interact in the
classroom. Teacher-student interaction plays a crucial role in classroom
teaching and learning because it not only affords opportunities for foreign
language acquisition, but also mediates between pedagogic decisionmaking
and the outcomes of language instruction. Taking the interactive
nature of teacher talk into account, teachers metadiscourse in classroom
discourse is defined as an attempt to capture two-layered interactions： the
interaction between teachers and the discourse they are composing as one
layer, and the interaction between teachers and students as the other layer.
The interactivity of metadiscourse makes teachers metadiscourse
an interesting topic well worth exploring. Guo Hongweis study on the
use of teachers metadiscourse in the university classroom discourse
has yielded fruitful and reliable findings. By adopting qualitative and
quantitative analyses, the present study investigated the patterns of
teachers metadiscourse and the discourse functions each category of
metadiscourse performed in classroom teaching. It attempted to put
forward a three-dimensional analytical model of teachers metadiscourse
consisting of meta-talk, interactive metadiscourse and interactional
metadiscourse. I believe such a theoretical contribution can shed light on
contemporary endeavors to explore classroom interactions. Moreover,
this study is innovative in terms of the comparative study of two groups
of English teachers from different mother tongue backgrounds. I assume
such an attempt will have pedagogical implications on English as a
foreign language teaching in the Chinese context.
This monograph, grown out of her doctoral dissertation completed
at Tsinghua University displays a fine balance between textual analysis
and teaching pedagogy. I believe this book will be a good contribution to
the field of EFL teaching. As her PhD supervisor, I am looking forward to
seeing more of her achievements in academic studies.
Best regards.
