The research aims to analyze turn taking, repair initiators, and self-repair categories in classroom interactions among advanced female EFL learners.
Conducted classroom observations and collected 36 hours of videotaped conversations.
Selected 40 advanced female EFL learners from three language institutes.
Analyzed students' utterances qualitatively using established linguistic frameworks for repair initiation and turn taking.
Performed follow-up interviews to enrich data collection.
Students predominantly took turns, primarily through self-initiated transfers.
Most errors were repaired using non-lexical utterances.
Participants corrected mostly grammatical and lexical errors in their self-repairs.
Differences emerged in the types of grammatical errors corrected compared to English native speakers.
