Description
This study examines the interactional practices involved in small group formation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. It employs Conversation Analysis (CA) to analyze naturally occurring classroom interactions among teachers and students. By focusing on the sequential unfolding of teacher instructions and student responses, this study highlights how participants use embodied actions—such as gaze, gesture, and spatial positioning—to negotiate participation frameworks.
