Abstract
Drawing on 20 h of video data from a vocational school construction site, this conversation analytic paper analyzes corrective demonstrations that target the skilled use of task-relevant tools in the context of learning manual work. With narrated demonstrations, the teacher shows the students how to skillfully use the tools and guides their vision to see how the material outcome should be interpreted in materially complex tasks. Orientation to the students' emerging expertise shows in how corrective demonstrations are built on participants’ existing procedural understanding that is redirected by means of corrective demonstration. A crucial element in these multimodally designed demonstrations is tool transfer that marks the beginning and the end of the demonstration sequence.
期刊介绍：
This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
