Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study explores the exercise of student agency in an alternative educational setting in England by considering students’ verbal interactions during an art lesson in which they created masks and during an engineering lesson in which they developed model rockets. We build on pre-existing operationalisations of student agency by drawing attention to some of the more particular linguistic features that characterise the exercise of agency in immediate classroom situations. Our findings demonstrate that the participating students were responding to, renegotiating, or resisting their teacher’s agendas in subtle ways, depending on the contingencies of the moment.
