Second language (L2) teaching is complex interactional work. Although how teachers teach is known to be significant to student engagement and learning, the specialized nature of teaching is typically represented as knowledge and beliefs about teaching. This is changing, however, as the number of studies drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis to illuminate the intricacies of L2 teaching is rapidly growing. This study adds to this research. Its specific focus is on an English as a second language teacher’s use of self‐talk to downgrade her certainty about the appropriate use of particular linguistic constructions that are the focus of instruction. The authors argue that, rather than displaying ineptitude at these moments, the use of self‐talk displays the teacher’s skilled willingness to make public her thinking processes as she works through her uncertainty and models for students ways they might deal with similar challenges. Shifting the focus to what teachers do, the study offers insight into the complex, embodied work of teaching, which, in turn, contributes to a practice‐based understanding of teaching. For both novice and experienced teachers, the instructive descriptions of teacher self‐talk can help them develop a reflective capacity for understanding and dealing with the contingencies of L2 teaching.

自我对话在降低教师对语法问题的确定性中的作用

第二语言(L2)教学是复杂的交互工作。尽管众所周知,教师的教学方式对学生的参与和学习很重要,但教学的专业性通常表现为对教学的知识和信念。然而,随着民族方法论和会话分析以阐明L2教学的复杂性的研究数量正在迅速增长,这种情况正在改变。这项研究增加了这项研究。它的重点是英语作为第二语言的老师,使用英语自言自语来降低对适当使用作为教学重点的特定语言结构的确定性。作者认为,这时并没有表现出无能为力,自我对话的使用显示了教师在通过不确定性和模型为学生工作时如何公开表达其思维过程的熟练技巧,他们可能会应对类似的挑战。通过将重点转移到教师的工作上,本研究提供了对复杂,具体化的教学工作的洞察力,进而有助于基于实践的对教学的理解。对于新手和有经验的老师,教师自我对话的指导性描述都可以帮助他们发展反思能力,以理解和应对L2教学的突发情况。有助于基于实践的教学理解。对于新手和有经验的老师来说,教师自我对话的指导性描述都可以帮助他们发展反思能力,以理解和应对L2教学的突发事件。有助于基于实践的教学理解。对于新手和有经验的老师,教师自我对话的指导性描述都可以帮助他们发展反思能力,以理解和应对L2教学的突发情况。
