| Research Abstract |
Based on the analysis of college lecture class and English class at elementary school by using Observational System for Instructional Analysis originally developed by Hough and Duncan, the followings were found. The OSIA analysis, starting with transcription of class activities, takes the form of matrix and timeline.
1) Compared with college class, the level of interaction was significantly higher and there were more students' talk observed in an elementary English class
2) More experienced Assistant Language Teacher(ALT, native speaker of English) created higher level of interaction between teacher and students by not just starting repetition practice but waiting for students' utterances after showing visual materials at an elementary English class. This created more energetic class activities with a higher sense of participation.
3) Richer facial expression of teachers increased positive class atmosphere.
4) More experienced ALT used short sentences and phrases elaborately and effectively as feedback each time students answered.
5) Class proceeded effectively and smoothly when appropriate artifact was used for instruction.
