Using Metacommunication To Foster The Classroom Interaction
Authors : Sellam Latifa .
Abstract
When people communicate, they do more than exchanging information (Sanford & Roach, 1986); they use metaknowledge about interpersonal relationships and the nature of communication to manage the dialogue (Roach & Nickson, 1986).When two interactants engage in a dialogue, one necessary task is to regulate the relationship between them. Communication theorists state that when people talk, they communicate on at least two different levels simultaneously: at the most direct level, they communicate the content of the utterances; and also at a more subtle level they communicate their wants and perceptions. This second level of communication is called metacommunication (Watzlawick et al 1967). Metacommunicative acts then could be adopted in an educational context which is the classroom session to promote the interaction between the speech partners: the teacher and his / her students.
