This paper studies classroom discourse in an English classroom in which the textbook we are using is New College English . Classroom process research is a developing approach which investigates classroom L2 acquisition. The analysis of classroom discourse is a late form which classroom process research has taken. The analysis of classroom discourse involving L2 learners illustrates the joint contributions of teacher and students, rather than focusing only on the teacher's language. Through both quantitative and qualitative analyses of a substantial amount of classroom discourse in the L2 classroom, the following features are derived: 1) the discourse structures are more complex while IRF structure still exists; 2) interaction between teacher and students in the L2 classroom is close to real communication.
