摘要
The present paper draws on a subset of data from a larger project collected through COLT instrument (Communicative Orientation of Language Teaching) (Spada & Frohlich, 1995) to investigate the nature of L1 (first language) use in student/teacher's interaction while engaged in pair/group work in real L2 (second language) classroom discourse. The study reports communicative features of pair/group work activity and the features of student/teacher interactions in which L1 appeared. It explores the use of L1 in scaffolding, private speech, and humor in the classroom in light of the reported communicative features. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
