ABSTRACT

This study investigates institutional characteristics of a teacher-student talk in an ESL writing conference. Unlike a typical institutional talk, the student in this conversation had a higher level of academic status and professional knowledge than the ESL teacher. The talk was analyzed using a conversation analytic method and ethnographic observation. The results showed that despite the atypical knowledge levels and relationships between the teacher and the student, their shared social knowledge regarding the goal of the writing conference helped the teacher successfully utilize the student's knowledge for her pedagogic purpose. Thus, this study demonstrates that orientation toward the core goal is the primary characteristic of institutional talk.
