The purpose of this study was to investigate the praxis (theory and practice) of
oral language by student teachers during their practicum. Specifically, this study
identified and described the factors which 13 British Columbia student teachers
perceived of as affecting the establishment of an orally interactive environment
within their practicum classroom. Through the analysis of dialogue journals,
interviews, and questionnaires, 24 factors in 5 categories were identified and
described that affect the development of orally interactive teaching. The factors
were grouped into categories of knowledge, position, expectations, structures, and
assumptions. This study concludes that the identification of factors affecting orality
in the practicum can assist teacher education programs and teachers to more
effectively address the potential of orality as a medium for negotiation and
meaning making in the classroom.
