<Figure 1> TEACHER QUESTION TYPE TABLE
1: topic sentence 1 2: topic sentence 2 3: variations

<Figure 2> TEACHER QUESTION TYPE TAB
	a: answer c: command to repeat q: question r: repeatition

   I checked 100 turns and gave numbers 1,2 and 3. 1 is for the topic sentence 1, 'where are you form?'. 2 is for '___'s from _____'. and 3 is for their variation(i.e. Are you from India?). The frequency of <figure 1> tells us that 56% of the data is direct use of the topic sentences and their variation. Strange enough, T's question type(13) is the same as S' response(13) and T's response(9) is the same as S's question(9). It looks like they had a very genuine 1:1 T-S dialogue.

   In <figure 2>, however, looking at the sentence type, it's quite opposite. Those almost half of the turns(56) were a, c, q, r here. The 'a' is a pure answer to the 'q'(pure question), 'Where are you form?'. The 'c' is for T's command to repeat and 'r''s simply for a repeatiton. Since turns of the data is 100, each number can be presented by %. (From now on, %) Almost 40% out of the whole turn(c&r) shows this lesson is mostly about a simple drill.(Listen&Repeat) There's only 13% of Listen&Answer. Furthermore, thinking about the half(almost non) pragmatic situation(i.e. T: somebody's gone out to live in anther place?), the 6% answer can't be the authentic answer because the 7% of questions aren't.

   To sum up, the teacher tries to overcome the shortness of Listen&Repeat by Listen&Answer but the Ss repeats mainly(not answer). For teacher's part, it was hard to put the three hats(the teacher, the asker and the answerer) on at the same time without an aid of any tool and space. For Ss' part, it doesn't mean a lot because it can't be everyone who has been abroad when the teacher asks 'Where are you from, everyone?.

   Nevertheless, Joseph is a quite skilled teacher. The lesson started with Ss' closed question(i.e. Where are you from, Joseph?) and finished T's open question(i.e. Where are you from, everyone). Although the last question was not an open one sementically(because Ss are all Korean), it is an open one in the pragmatic situation that the teachers and the Ss have made.

Actually, the students are not all Koreans, or at least they do not consider themselves Korean. They are children who have grown up in other countries and see themselves as Americans or British or Australian "returnees".

Well, I still sense that they're just from here. I called Ms.Seo but she didn't answer. I remember she said they're not returnees in your office. If they are, it's really strange that they learn this at school.
