Abstract

Foreign Language classes have not been sufficiently investigated probably due to the difficulty of finding a successful method of analysis. We propose a model of Communicative Discourse Analysis (CODAM) with a taxonomy of Verbal and Non Verbal acts in Initiation, Response and Follow Up moves (I, R, F) according to the intention of each speaker's contribution to communicative discourse. By applying CODAM to the corpus obtained from actual classes in Andalusia, we have been able to compare not only the extension of communicative discourse but also speakers' participation level and learners' use of English in the classroom. Keywords: FL classes, discourse analysis, students' L2 oral output, communicative acts, L2 teaching. Investigacion del nivel de participacion de los hablantes en la clase de lengua extranjera a traves del analisis del discurso comunicativo
