Abstract:

This study explores the field of ESL (English as a Second Language) 
classroom learning within a formal learning institution. Influenced by the 
sociocultural theory in SLA (Second Language Acquisition), the book sheds 
light on the question that has been boggling the minds of language 
practitioners and researchers: Why is ESL classroom talk the way it is? 
Based on a case study of a school in an ESL community, it argues 
persuasively that classroom talk may be linked in important ways to an 
operative sociocultural structure of ESL pedagogy over and above the 
classroom at the institutional level. 

The book examines issues which have here-to-fore been avoided by writers 
and researchers in current SLA writings and classroom studies. It confronts 
complex and complicated contextual and research methodological issues to 
make visible what has up to now been that elusive "structure" behind the oral 
practices in language classrooms. Research methods are drawn from 
language education and several disciplines within linguistics and the social 
sciences. Emerging from a multidisciplinary methodological framework are a 
number of surprising revelations about the meanings and functions of ESL 
classroom talk.
