Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper points to disparate expectations of language as one cause of staff‐student misunderstandings. It examines the spoken language which students often write together with the written language that staff tend to speak. The two are compared in terms of vocabulary, style of structuring, and orality (use of oral expression). Analysis indicates that the different modes of using language reflect different approaches to learning, so that students may benefit from staff reconsidering the comprehension gap as well as enquiring into other factors which inhibit the tutorial dialogue.
