Abstract

With the emergence of the epidemic era, having online classes has become an increasing educational trend in the modern times, which relatively reduces the cost of time and space. The present study utilized Conversation analysis to explore the concept of Interactional Competence, as it pertains to conversational interactions. After analyzing four classroom transcripts, the main findings of this paper were: 1) The use of gesture and echo words of teachers is benefit to improve the atmosphere of the class; 2) The patience and encouragement of teachers help to bring out the students’ potential; 3) Appropriate use of teacher talking time and wait time is conducive to promoting classroom interaction; 4) Teacher feedback plays a key role in the IRF pattern. Therefore, the teacher's interactive conversational skills are very important. Subsequently, this paper makes a significant contribution to the refinement of the implementation of the educational sector and the professional development of educators.
