CLASSROOM INTERACTION ANALYSIS IN INDONESIAN EFL SPEAKING CLASS
Abstract
Abstract: This study entitles “Classroom Interaction Analysis in the EFL Speaking Class†aimed at analyzing the categories of teacher talk, student talk and classroom interaction types used during EFL speaking class. The research employed a qualitative design and applied a case study. Subjects of the research were an English teacher and 25 students at the second semester of English Education Department of the University of Kuningan. The data were gained through naturalistic observation and document analysis. The data were analyzed by using FLINT (Foreign Language Interaction) system as developed by Moskowitz (1971) and types of classroom interaction of Malamah-Thomas’ (1987) frameworks. The findings revealed that both teacher and students applied all categories of talk as mentioned in FLINT system and classroom interaction types. It is recommended for the teacher to apply more categories of ‘praises and encourages’ to build students’ confidence in speaking, ‘asks questions’ to promote their communicative skill and to encourage students to use English during speaking activities, particularly in group work activities.
Keywords: Classroom interaction, FLINT analysis, EFL speaking class.
