An Observational Method in the Foreign Language Classroom: A Closer Look at Interaction Analysis
Bailey, Leona G.
Foreign Language Annals, 8, 4, 335-344, Dec 75
This paper analyzes both Flanders' and the Foreign Language Interaction (FLint) methods of classroom observation and concludes that both systems are deficient in accuracy, reliability and practicality. Observing, recording and decision-making difficulties are inherent, and system complexities and teacher biases add to the problems. (CHK)
