ZENKLUSEN, María Victoria Bruno. Interaction and Comprehension: Teacher Reformulation as a Verbal Interaction Strategy at University. Leng. [online]. 2020, vol.48, n.1, pp.60-83. ISSN 0120-3479.  https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v48i1.7332.

This paper presents an overview of a research aimed at studying the verbal interaction strategies used by a university teacher to promote learning through texts during her classes in a program in Social Sciences. The study, which has a descriptive and exploratory approach and a qualitative methodology, was carried out in a first-year course at a private university in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. The primary data source were the audio recordings of verbal exchanges among participants. The interpretation of data follows a discourse microanalysis focused on the teacher’s actions, and results reflect upon the use of the interactional strategy known as revoicing. It was noted that, when the teacher revoices students’ contributions, she fosters conceptual precision through the use of specific discipline-related terminology and provides speaking skills that are characteristic of the academic community.

Palabras clave : verbal interaction; interactional strategies; teaching and learning; reading comprehension; university; higher education.
