Informed by the major tenets of critical discourse analysis, the present study attempted to expose the chasm between veteran English teachers enjoying a nation-wide popularity and those linguistically talented novices achieving locally mediocre fame in the Iranian EFL context. In so doing, two highly competent English teachers, each as a prime example of the above-mentioned camps, were selected to serve as the main participants of the research. The analysis of their classroom talk indicated that linguistic excellence could not fulfill the role of educated experience as far as discourse competence was concerned. In all, the discursive strategies used by the experienced teacher seemed to manifest his recognition of students' voices and created a more heteroglossic atmosphere in the classroom.

批判性话语分析视角下的语言课堂权力问题

在批判性话语分析的主要原则的指导下，本研究试图揭示在全国享有盛誉的资深英语教师与在伊朗 EFL 语境中获得当地平庸声誉的语言天才新手之间的鸿沟。在这样做的过程中，两名非常称职的英语教师被选为研究的主要参与者，他们都是上述营地的典型代表。对他们课堂谈话的分析表明，就话语能力而言，卓越的语言能力无法发挥受过教育的经验的作用。总而言之，这位经验丰富的老师使用的话语策略似乎体现了他对学生声音的认可，并在课堂上营造了一种更加杂音的氛围。
