dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the patterns of communication in the English Language classroom within a mini-teaching framework. The subjects were third year students on long vacation course in the Language Arts Section of the Department of Education, Ahraadu Bello University, Zaria. The students were in two groups vizs (1) Experimental, and (2) Control. They were observed teaching four lessons in the area of grammatical structures„ All the lessons were videotaped. An instrument FOCUS, was used to explore whether there was any difference(s) between the pre-treatment and post-treatment lessons in the following: 1. Course and target of communication? 2. Move type of communication; 3. The mediums used for communication? 4. The pedagogical use of the mediums for communication; and 5. The content of communication. The major thrust of the study was to explore the patterns of communication in the lessons of the thirty subjects, using a FOCUS-Based analysis. To look beyond statistics, the classes of some of the teachers were selected for discussion because they were identified as belonging to the same manifested teaching technique changes that were not in the same direction. FOCUS, within the constraints of this study, was shown to be a reliable means of analyzing English Language classroom communication, to be of use to researchers who want to study the patterns of classroom interaction, and to be of use to teachers/ supervisors who want to look at teaching regardless of the approach to teaching, FOCUS was equally shown to be a reliable means of identifying sources, moves, contents and teacher use of mediums,en_US
