{"pk":1976,"title":"\"Something for Linguists\": On-the-fly Grammar Instruction in a Dutch as Foreign Language Classroom","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article examines grammar instruction produced on the fly by a teacher in response to students' questions in a Dutch as foreign language classroom. Such sequences merit attention because they present teachers with the opportunity and the challenge to provide unplanned instruction on an aspect of grammar to which a student has shown herself to be attending. Using the tools of conversation analysis, we examine two sequences in which a student initiates talk about Dutch grammar and the teacher constructs a mini-lesson using talk, gesture and writing on the blackboard. In first, the teacher produces a paradigm, a practice used widely in linguistics and L2 education. In the second, he produces a contrastive pair, a common practice in linguistics. We consider tensions entailed in on-the-fly grammar instruction produced in response to students' questions.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"student questions, conversation analysis, Dutch, L2 grammar"}],"section":"Article","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6jj5z18h","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Leslie","middle_name":"C","last_name":"Moore","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Seo Hyun","middle_name":"","last_name":"Park","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2013-09-12T16:57:12Z","date_accepted":"2013-09-12T16:57:12Z","date_published":"2014-04-25T19:49:37Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/l2/article/1976/galley/1310/download/"}]}
