This study analyses question–answer (QA) sequences in second language tutorial interaction. Using conversation analysis methodology as an analytical tool, the study demonstrates how the act of questioning is a dominant form of interaction in tutoring discourse. The doing of questioning is accomplished through a myriad of forms other than interrogative questions, such as declaratively formatted utterances, and-prefacing, b-event questions, and emb…

The study adopts an interactional approach to the study of participants' talk and gestural practices, while drawing on McNeill's taxonomy of gestures. It is aligned with studies that emphasise achievem…
