Abstract
In this paper we adopt a sociocultural perspective on second language (L2) teacher learning in investigating the interaction between teacher educators and student teachers in one activity within a teaching practicum on a initial TESOL teacher education programme – guided lesson planning. We are particularly interested in how the participants jointly accomplish the lesson planning activity through their talk-ininteraction, and in how the activity of guided lesson planning reflects conficting motives within the wider activity of L2 teacher education. We begin by briefly outlining a sociocultural perspective on teacher education, particularly the “sociocultural turn” in L2 teacher education. Within this persective, we describe some features of guided lesson planning as a site for teacher learning on initial teacher education programs. We then go on to describe the methodological tools we used for the study: ethnomethodologically-informed conversation analysis (CA) and an adapted stimulated recall procedure. We then use these tools in the analysis of a single case, in which one teacher educator works with a student teacher in planning a lesson. Using the lens of activity theory we suggest how different motives for the activity of guided lesson planning may lead to differences in the ‘rules’ for conducting the activity in the interaction, and to different constructions of the ‘object’ of the activity. We conclude by suggesting some implications of the study for the practice of guided lesson planning within the overall activity of L2 teacher education.
