Interaction Patterns in Post-Graduate Seminars: Tutor versus Student.

Klerk, Vivian de

Language and Education, v9 n4 p249-64 1995

Investigates the effects of tutor gender in interaction patterns in postgraduate university seminars and focuses on the discourse patterns of two of these classes. The female tutor used more minimal responses and called on students more often by name and gaze than the male tutor; she occupied less floor-space than the male tutor, and her speaking turns were shorter.
