Abstract

Language classrooms have different techniques and discourse used compared to non-language subject classroom. The interaction between teacher and students is also interesting to be examined. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the structure of classroom interaction in reading class and to indentify the act used in the interaction to maintain the interaction in a reading class. Descriptive qualitative research is applied in this research. Thirthy seven students and one lecturer of English Reading Class at English Teacher Education Department at State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya are involved in this study. Observation checklist, video, field note and interview guide are used as the instruments of the research. The result shows that the structures of interactions in a reading class are mainly Initiation Response (IR). IR seems to be more dominant than Initiation Feedback (IF). The acts occur in the interactions within a reading class are 15 acts, they are: el (elicitation), rep (reply), m (marker), n (nomination), ms (metastatement), d (directive), rea (react), ch (checking), ack (acknowledge), i (informative), ^ (silent stress), con (conclusion), com (comment), e (evaluate), acc (accept). Those acts are spread either in opening section, answering section, following up, framing, or in focusing.
