Abstract

This article takes its cue from the conceptual framework of mediation (sociocultural theory) and mode continuum (systemic functional linguistics) to investigate the stu dent-teacher interaction and how this interaction serves the learner’s language and the co-constructing of knowledge. Through an analysis of observations, transcriptions, and materials, the study also examines the features of multimodality (e.g., student-written language, student-spoken language, and the teacher’s language and visuals) in the fea tured lessons.
