Abstract: This study was aimed to figure out the exchange patterns during classroom interaction and its relation to the shift of roles of serving primary knower between a teacher and students. Thirty nine students of twelfth grade and an English teacher in a public senior high school in Bandung were involved as the participants. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative method, and the main data were classroom observation transcript and teacher’s interview transcript. The data analysis was done by applying classroom discourse analysis through coding and categorizing utterances of teacher and students into exchange categories proposed by Suherdi (2009). The findings reveal that both Non-Anomalous (Knowledge-Oriented and Action-(Knowledge-Oriented) and Anomalous Exchanges (Elliptical, Defective, and Broken) were found in the interaction between the teacher and the students, therefore the exchange categories affect the shift of roles of serving primary knower between teacher and students. With regard to the findings, two exchanges were likely to be dominant among other exchanges throughout four meetings of the lesson; those are DK1-initiated exchanges (30.19%) and A1-initiated exchanges (34.57%).

INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers the background of the study, research questions, purpose of the
research, clarification of key terms, and organization of the paper.
1.1. Background
Language is produced in various ways according to the purpose of the language users
and that different purpose will require kinds of language use. Language in discourse
is employed to interact and communicate the same things with interlocutors such as
thoughts, beliefs, and feelings (Suherdi, 2009). In other words, language in discourse
must be the original one and should not be a made-up language. Rymes (2008) and
Cook (1989, cited in Jiang, 2012) simply define discourse as the language in use. In
this context, the use of language is analyzed by using discourse analysis. Suherdi
(2009, p. 6) asserts that discourse analysis as a way of approaching and thinking
about a problem, however, discourse cannot be used to solve or answer a specific
problem. Furthermore, Demo (2001, cited in Suherdi, 2009) adds that discourse
analysis does not only involve spoken language, but also involve written texts
without ignoring the function of language itself. Relating to discourse as the
language in use, Paaso, Uusiautti, and Määttä (2013) say that thing outside the
language usage is not the focus of discourse analysis.
People use language to communicate and interact the same things with each
other, whether in form of spoken language or written texts. Considering the
explanation of language in discourse, teacher-students interaction which occurs in a
classroom can be considered as classroom discourse. Furthermore, Allwright and
Bailey (1991, cited in Suherdi, 2009) say that a complex concept of interaction has
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
defined as a two-way contact resulting action and reaction which may occur between
individuals or between an individual and a group (Biddle, 1967, cited in S. Sadeghi,
Ketabi, Tavakoli, & Sadeghi, 2012). Describing certain verbal behaviors of teachers
and students as they interact in the classroom is needed when analysing classroom
interaction (Sadeghi et al., 2012). When interacting in the classroom, there should be
a shift of roles between the teacher and the students, in order to see the shift of roles,
the teacher-students interaction must be observed and analyzed.
Analysing classroom discourse is important because it provides accuracy in
describing classroom activity and it can significantly contribute to the improvement
of teacher‟s strategy for teaching in the classroom as well as the learning outcomes
(McCarthy, 1991; Suherdi, 2009). However, in the classroom, the teacher is not the
one who is in charge of teaching-learning process, but also the students. This can be
realized by putting forward question and answer method in the classroom in order to
provide students more opportunities to participate in the teaching and learning
process (Suherdi, 2009). Furthermore, through classroom interaction, students can
increase their language store as they listen or read materials. Their ability in
producing the language will also develop as they interact with each other during the
lesson. In addition, Liberante (2012) asserts that turn taking is one of some aspects
that influences students‟ outcomes and behaviour in teacher-students interaction.
Andrews (2001, cited in Sert, 2010) professes the enhancement of teacher‟s
competence in L2 leads to interactional process which provides improvement of
learner involvement and opportunities for learning. Providing students opportunities
to participate in the classroom can create a good social relationship among teacher
and students. The teacher must give chances to students to talk because the students
can improve their profiency in mastering English. Furthermore, Sert (2010) affirms
that the quality of teaching can be enhanced by developing teachers„ language
awareness and improving their classroom interaction. That statement shows one of
the benefits of a good classroom interaction for the teacher; the teacher can create

Considering the scholars claim about classroom discourse analysis and
classroom interaction, when teacher negotiates the information and exchanges roles
with students, together they will accomplish the lesson objectives. Therefore, based
on explanation above, this study is specifically designed to investigate the relation of
shift of roles of serving the primary knower between teacher and students in English
classroom context.
1.2. Research Questions
This study is designed to answer these following questions:
1. What are the exchange structures found in the shift of roles between teacher
and students in English lesson?
2. How do the exchange structures affect the shift of roles between teacher and
students in English lesson?
1.3. Purpose of the Research
The purposes of the study are as follows:
1. To figure out the exchange structures that occur in the shift of roles between
teacher and students in English lesson.
2. To find out the effect of exchange structures on the shift of roles between
teacher and students in English lesson.
1.4. Scope of the Research
Analyzing classroom interaction between a teacher and twelfth grade students that
occurs in English classroom in one of public schools in Bandung becomes the focus
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
serving the primary knower between teacher and students by using Categories of
Exchanges developed by Suherdi (2009).
1.5. Significance of the Research
This study is expected to give a significant contribution in English language
teaching. The exchange patterns in shift of roles between teacher and students which
are found in this study can help the teachers in teaching English and managing
classroom interaction in the classroom. Furthermore, the result of this study is
expected to contribute for teachers in improving teaching strategies and choosing
classroom language in the teaching and learning process.
1.6. Clarification of Related Terms
This section presents the technical terms that occur in the study in order to avoid the
ambiguity, misunderstanding, and misinterpretation toward the concept presented.
Those are:
1. Classroom Interaction
Classroom interaction seen as the most important element in the curriculum
(van Lier, 1996, cited in Sert, 2010). Interaction is defined as the
collaborative exchange of thoughts, feelings, or ideas between two or more
people (Brown, 2001), classroom interaction includes verbal interaction and
non-verbal performance.
2. Classroom Discourse Analysis
Classroom discourse analysis is used to observe activities that occur in the
classroom and it involves the analysis of the learning process in the
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
brings benefits to the evaluation of teacher‟s and students‟ learning output
(McCarthy, 1991).
3. Shift of Roles Between Teacher and Students
Teaching and learning process is dominated by asking and answering method
(Suherdi, 2009). Both teacher and students can initiate information and serve
as primary knower. The relation between status and power in the classroom
interaction especially with the shift of roles of the Primary Knower is defined
as shift of roles (Suherdi, 2009).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter provides and elaborates the methodology employed in this study. It
covers research design, site and participants of the study, data collection, and data
analysis techniques. The research design explains the method employed in this study.
The research site and participants discuss where the study was conducted and the
participants involved. The data collection presents the data type and the data
collection technique. The data analysis elaborates the procedures of analyzing the
data.
3.1. Research Design
Qualitative study is employed in this study to gather a clearer picture and deeper
understanding of the shift of roles of serving primary knower between teacher and
students. Qualitative study, as stated by Creswell (2012), refers to the study of a
problem and its understanding of a central phenomenon. Moreover, the researcher
intended to analyze, describe, categorize, and interpret the data (Creswell, 2012) in
investigating the shift of roles between teacher and students.
In addition, descriptive case study is used in this study, Yin (2003, cited in
Baxter & Jack, 2008) defines case study as a type of study used to describe a
phenomenon and the occurrence of the real-life context. This study is suited with
qualitative study because according to Creswell (2012) and Yin (2003, cited in
Baxter & Jack, 2008), qualitative study focuses on a program or phenomenon.
Moreover, according to Nisbet and Watt (1984, cited in Cohen, Manion, & Morrison,
2007) case study has several strengths as follows: 1) it can be undertaken by a single
researcher; 2) it is strong on reality; 3) it is intelligible and the results are easily
understood by the reader; 4) it provides insight into similar situations and cases; and
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu 3.2. Site and Participants
A public senior high school in Bandung, West Java, became the site of this study.
The school has been chosen because of the accessibility and familiarity since the
researcher is an alumnus of the school. Hence, the researcher has been familiar with
the teacher and the environment. Then it was expected that there will occur natural
performance during this study.
An English teacher and 39 students of twelfth grade were involved as the
participants. Twelfth grade students were selected because the higher of proficiency
level of the students, the more questions and instructions can be undertaken during
the lesson (Brown, 2001). In addition, in a week, the twelfth grade students have
more lessons hour on English subject than other grades in the school. Hence the
teaching and learning process will be more intensive.
3.3. Data Collection
The data were collected through classroom observations and an interview. Classroom
observations were done in four meetings, and were conducted to get information
about the real classroom situation of the selected site which capturing the exchanges
patterns in the classroom interaction during the English teaching-learning process. Then teacher’s perspective towards classroom interaction was gathered through an interview to the teacher itself. Each technique of the data collection is described
below.
3.3.1. Classroom Observation
Classroom observation was done in order to gain natural interaction between teacher
and students in the classroom. This classroom observation is the main technique to
collect the data. The observations aim to gather open-ended, direct information by
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
were done in the observations; those are video-taping verbal interactions, and field
noting some features of non-verbal interactions. The video was used to get through
comprehension of classroom interaction. Audiovisual is good for classroom
observation because it provides extensive data about real life situation as people
visualize it, and it can help researchers understand the central phenomenon under the
study (Creswell, 2012). The video-tapes were then transcribed with the help of field
notes.
The classroom observations and videotaping itself were conducted on 22nd
August 2014, 3rd September 2014, 5th September 2014, and 10th September 2014.
Each lesson was recorded for two hour lessons (90 minutes). Video recorders were
used to record the interaction and there were no involvements from the researcher in
terms of the classroom interaction during the observation.
3.3.2. Interview
Interview was conducted in order to crosscheck the data from the classroom
observation. Interview is a specific purposed conversation of two-person initiated by
the interviewer (Cohen et al., 2007), it provides detail information from the
participants (Creswell, 2012) in which the information contains their experience
derived from their stream of consciousness (Seidman, 2006). Some questions were
designed to be asked to the teacher in order to gain further information about some
issues that occurred during observations which cannot be directly observed by
researcher. The interview intended to obtain the data regarding teacher’s way in
managing classroom interaction.
The interview was conducted by interviewing the teacher face-to-face and via
instant messenger. The researcher asked several questions related to the teacher’s
way in managing classroom interaction. The interview was conducted in English;
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
were copied and moved into the transcribed document. The data of the interview also
analyzed in this study.
3.4. Data Analysis
The data collected from classroom observations were analyzed by using categories of
exchanges theory developed by Suherdi (2009) which includes the analysis of
anomalous exchanges (simple and complex exchanges) and non-anomalous
exchanges (elliptical, defective, and broken) (see Figure 2.5).
The data from the videos were watched and transcribed. To find out the
exchanges patterns in relation to shift or roles between teacher and students, the
transcriptions were analyzed by segmenting the utterances into some exchanges.
After that, each exchange is labelled and categorized based on the categories of
exchanges proposed by Suherdi (2009).
The interview data was categorized and interpreted to find out the teacher’s way in managing classroom interaction. Next, the researcher categorized the
response from the respondents according to the interview questions. The, the data
was interpreted and presented qualitatively. The result of the analysis is described
comprehensively and thoroughly in Chapter IV.
3.5. Concluding Remark
This chapter has presented and elaborated the methodological aspects applied in this
study covering research design, research site, participants, data collection technique,

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The previous chapter has presented the analysis and discussion regarding the
exchange patterns including non-anomalous exchanges and anomalous exchanges, its
relation to the shift of roles of serving primary knower between teacher and students,
and ways of managing classroom interaction reflected in teacher’s interview. This
chapter presents the conclusions derived from the findings and discussions on the
data analysis. Whereas the suggestions are going to be drawn to give some inputs for
the readers in conducting further studies in this field.
5.1. Conclusions
This study is focused on analysing classroom interaction especially in the terms of
exchange patterns of non-anomalous and anomalous exchanges. As stated in Chapter
I, this study is aimed at figuring out the exchange patterns during classroom
interaction and its relation to the shift of roles of serving primary knower between
teacher and students. In order to reach the aims, a descriptive-qualitative case study
was employed and conducted at one public school in Bandung, West Java.
After analysing the data, some conclusions should be drawn in this section.
The findings reveal that all exchange categories proposed by Suherdi (2009)
appeared during the classroom interaction. Non-anomalous Exchanges
(knowledge-oriented exchanges and action-(knowledge-oriented exchanges) and Anomalous Exchanges
(elliptical, defective, and broken) were both found in the interaction between teacher
and students. However, the distribution of each exchange in every meeting is
different.
Considering the detail of the findings, DK1-initiated exchanges seem to be
dominant among knowledge-oriented exchanges with total appearance 30.19%. In
the meantime, A1-initiated exchanges seem to be dominant with 34.57% out of all
total appearance of non-anomalous exchanges throughout four meetings. In terms of
Doni Ramdhani Suwandi, 2015
A descriptive study of the shift of roles between a feacher and students in english classroom discourse
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
complex non-anomalous exchanges is not too significant. This shows that a long
conversation in one exchange between teacher and students did not occur very often.
In terms of anomalous exchanges, the findings show that elliptical exchanges are
dominant with total appearance 83.03%. Overall, based on the findings, it can be
concluded that action-oriented exchanges are the most dominant among other
anomalous exchanges and anomalous exchanges. It shows that there were many
non-verbal performances performed by both teacher and students such as raising hands,
writing on whiteboard, numbering pictures, etc. especially when the students
working in groups.
Considering the result of the analysis, therefore, it can be concluded that there
is a shift of roles of serving primary knower between teacher and students. It can be
seen from the pattern of K2-initiated exchanges which is dominant in the first and the
second meeting where the students served as the primary knower. It can be seen when the teacher asked students’ prior knowledge about narrative text. The students were the ones who knew the information; therefore, they served as the primary
knower and supplied information to the teacher. This pattern then followed by
K1-initiated exchanges in which the teacher served as the primary knower. The teacher
supplied correct information and wrapped up all rough information supplied by the
students as suggested by Suherdi (2009).
Moreover, considering the percentage of knowledge-oriented exchanges,
DK1-initiated exchanges seem to be dominant in the third and the fourth meeting. In
delivering the information, testing or display questions as suggested by Long and
Sato (1983, cited in Suherdi, 2009) and Suherdi (2009) were employed by the teacher in order to check the students’ comprehension towards the lesson. The decision of choosing exchange patterns such as K1-initiated, K2-initiated, and DK1-initiated
exchanges has affected the shift of roles between teacher and students. Considering
the findings, therefore, it can be concluded that there is a shift of roles of serving
primary knower between teacher and students indicated by the occurrence of various

Considering the findings, discussions, and conclusions of research results, the
researcher suggests some recommendations for English teachers and further
researchers regarding classroom discourse analysis.
For English teachers, it is hoped that classroom discourse analysis can be
considered beneficial to choose appropriate strategy in managing classroom
interaction and wisely choose appropriate classroom language. It would be better if
the teachers can choose appropriate teaching strategy and appropriate questioning
strategy because it can maintain interaction in the classroom in order to invite
students to contribute and participate more in the teaching-learning process.
However, this study has a limitation as well. Those teacher-students
interactions were analyzed by only one theory of classroom discourse analysis which
is exchange categories. For further researchers, it is suggested to analyze the
interactions by using other classroom discourse theories. Additionally, it is suggested to analyze teacher’s and students’ language characteristics in order to reveal more detailed information about interaction between teacher and students, in which the
finding is expected to be beneficial to manage classroom interaction and choose
