Classroom Spoken Discourse and Casual Conversation: A Comparison using Hymes's Ethno-methodological Framework Doms, David. 2003. Classroom Spoken Discourse and Casual Conversation: A Comparison using Hymes's Ethno-methodological Framework, English Language and linguistics 15, 167-190. this paper attempts to examine discourse carried out in classrooms and various naturalistic settings by using Hymes's ethno-methodological approach (1972) for exploring speech events. As compared to previous studies which have been done cross-sectionally and paid attention to describing and accounting for L2 leamers' grammatical competence mainly in a quantitative fashion, the present study attempts to tap leamers' discourse competence by qualitatively looking at ongoing conversations in various places. After summarizing the distinguishing features of an English language classroom activity and casual conversations through short real-life examples taken from my own data, I discuss the implications of the analysis for the development of learners' conversational skills and discoursal knowledge in E.F.L. classrooms. Key words: ethno-methodology, Hymes, spoken discourse, classroom talk, casual conversation
