Abstract
This qualitative and quantitative analysis, researching language and social interaction, is one of its kinds, to examine the current ESL pedagogical strategies in native and residential Jordanian college students. It uses lexicalization in spoken dialogues produced by English language and literature students at the Department of English Language and Literature at Jordan University/Aqaba branch. It includes 30 participants selected randomly. The study uses Hoey’s (1991) Matrix of Lexical Cohesion and a Semi-structured Interview to collect data from the participants. The findings indicated that the density of lexicalization has a significant contribution in the creation of cohesion of the spoken dialogues. This research recommends that further research be conducted to investigate other types of spoken dialogues
Highlights
The recent studies of spoken dialogue have tendencies to prevent interaction patterns to simple language exchanges with the language users
This research objective aims to elicit data on the use of lexicalization in spoken dialogues created by B.A students at the Department of English Language and Literature at Aqaba Jordan University
The study found out that English language and literature were able to use the different types of lexical repetition across the 15 spoken dialogues
Summary
The recent studies of spoken dialogue have tendencies to prevent interaction patterns to simple language exchanges with the language users (speaker/listener). Dialogues are restricted to a sentence level not like natural human interaction. Language users are restricted to flexibility of turn-taking conversation and shifting beyond the sentence level requires a deep understanding of the scenery of the spoken dialogue. This kind of shifting is significant and an adequate starts to construct the main blocks of speech production. Utterances rather sentences are the basic blocks of any scientific research and the act of speech is the primary concern of spoken dialogue in varied shapes and forms. The different types of sentences are exclusively studied by DA
