Preference Organization in Oral Proficiency Interviews: The Case of Language Ability Assessments.

Lazaraton, Anne

Research on Language and Social Interaction, v30 n1 p53-72 1997

Focuses on a phenomena emerging from examination of a corpus of language interview data, representing a type of institutional talk evaluating the English language ability of international students for the purposes of elective English-as-a-Second-Language course placement. This phenomenon is the students' self-deprecations of their own English language ability. (17 references) (CK)
