초록

The present study offers a descriptive account of how English learners co-construct language learning experiences in small group interactions. Specifically, it investigates Language Related Episodes (LREs) in small group discussion activities among Korean EFL learners. The study draws on the theoretical premises of sociocultural approach to small group interactions and emphasizes the collaborative work by the learners in interactions to construct second language knowledge. The analysis of the interaction focused on identifying and exploring the interactional patterns of Language-Related Episode (LRE) embedded in on-going interactions among the learners. The results of data analysis revealed that the collaborative work displayed in the LREs could function as a learning tool available for the learners to use the newly acquired second language knowledge appropriately in meaningful ways. Findings of the study indicated some positive evidence of learning instances where the learners were able to independently use the language items learned from the previous held LREs later in their interactions.
