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.
