Resumen
This research is an attempt to describe and analyze the interaction between Sixth Grade
students and student-teachers teaching English as a Foreign Language in Chile. The data for the
analysis were collected through four videotaped sessions taught by four student-teachers doing
their last practicum before graduation. This study suggests that interaction based 011 the
Question-Response-Follow-up structure (QRF) proposed by Coulthard and Sinclair in their study
of classroom interaction is a productive way to study the effects that tbis type of exchange has in
the acquisition of English as well as in teaching techniques. Incorporated into the analyses is the
2009 Sixth Grade Progranune proposed by the Ministry of Education especially as it focuses in
aural comprehension, the study proposes that modeling different types of questions force
students to comprehend and respond adequately preparing them to be able to sustain an
elementary conversation. In addition, it argues that Follow-up aliows the teacher to inject
conversational elements necessary to counteract the rigidity of the Question-Answer-Follow-up
characteristic of classroom discourse.
