ABSTRACT

Despite a wide use of oral proficiency English interview format in Korea, little is understood about face-to-face interview discourse in an English speaking program. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a face-to-face interview test as a form of final test can reflect authentic and interactive ways students practice in non-test or classroom situations. This article analyzed 20 face-to-face talks between two native speakers of English professors and non-native speakers of their students in an English speaking program. The discourse difference between face-to-face interview and authentic conversation (from class activities) was examined. It was found that the interview discourse did not reflect the features of natural conversation specifically in the areas of turn-taking, adjacency pairs, topic nomination and repair.
