A common preconception about performance in the foreign language classroom sees performance as geared towards extroverts: students who readily contribute to verbal classroom interaction in any case. If true, this claim would be particularly problematic when advocating not only for the integration of isolated instances of performance, but for a fundamentally performance-based approach to language teaching. Such an approach would then further widen the gap between those participants who are more and those who are less comfortable in underdefined social spaces. This article draws on data from a larger study on FL classroom interaction and student agency during performance activities in intermediate German classes. Conversation analytic methods are used to trace how participation for one very reticent student evolves over the course of an intensive summer class. The development happens during extended performance activities with a Teacher-in-Role (TiR) strategy, and in particular due to the initiative of his classmates to shape a welcoming social space. They offer a range of carefully crafted participation openings, and the quiet student responds and later initiates conversational moves on his own. This case study provides discourse based, micro-analytic support for previous claims about the benefits of performance for class dynamics and participation.

This study aims at investigating the discursive practices of a reflective teacher in the foreign language classroom, as well as to verify whether reflective teaching practice contributes or not to the process of (self)emancipation and social transformation. The main concern is to understand what she says, as well as what she really does in the classroom context. In the analysis I used recordings of interviews and classroom interaction based on SFG and CDA.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta diferentes perspectivas metodológicas para o estudo da interação na sala de aula de língua estrangeira. Com um corpus coletado em aulas de italiano como língua estrangeira, são ilustrados três modelos, decorrentes das seguintes abordagens: a funcional, a etnometodológica e a etnográfica. Esperamos, com este estudo, demonstrar que a análise da interação constitui um instrumento potencialmente rico para propiciar espaços de análise e reflexão, no âmbito da formação de professores, sobre a configuração das interações entre professor e aluno. Tais posturas reflexivas podem contribuir, sobremaneira, para a compreensão e o aprimoramento do processo de ensinar e aprender línguas. Palavras-chave: Interação em sala de aula. Ensino de língua estrangeira. Formação de professores.   Abstract This article presents different methodological perspectives for studying foreign language classroom interactions. Based on a corpus collected in classes where Italian was being taught as a foreign language, we illustrate three models derived from the following approaches: functional, ethnomethodological and ethnographic. We hope to demonstrate in this article that the analysis of interactions between teachers and students is a potentially rich instrument for studies and reflections within the field of teacher education. These reflections may contribute greatly to the understanding and improvement of the process of teaching and learning languages. Keywords: Classroom interaction. Foreign language teaching. Teacher education.
