This is a study of adolescent students talking in the classroom. It combines a sociocultural approach to learning with an ethnomethodological view of talk as social action and examines how young adolescents accomplish, in class, the work of 'being students'. Sociocultural theory takes the view that school is one of the contexts in which young people grow into mature social, cultural and institutional practices, through social interaction with 'expert' others. / thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2000.
