The purpose of this study was to compare the classroom behaviors of native and nonnative teaching assistants (TAs) and their students. University mathematics classes taught by American and Taiwanese TAs were videotaped. The specific interactions investigated were student-initiated question sequences. The transcribed data were analyzed for verbal behavior (semantic and syntactic) and two aspects of non-verbal behavior (hesitation phenomena and eye gaze).

520 $a The purpose of this study was to compare the classroom behaviors of native and nonnative teaching assistants (TAs) and their students. University mathematics classes taught by American and Taiwanese TAs were videotaped. The specific interactions investigated were student-initiated question sequences. The transcribed data were analyzed for verbal behavior (semantic and syntactic) and two aspects of non-verbal behavior (hesitation phenomena and eye gaze).
520 $a Students asked fewer questions of Taiwanese TAs than they did of American TAs. Taiwanese TAs were more often asked to solve specific problems than other types of questions. American TAs were given fewer requests to do specific problems compared to Taiwanese TAs. Questions addressed to Taiwanese TAs showed a greater use of Wh- questions and Yes-No questions and contained fewer nonfluencies compared to questions addressed to American TAs. It is argued that these characteristics of questions addressed to Taiwanese TAs are all instances of students' use of foreigner talk: students simplify the content and form of their questions in order to make themselves understood by their TAs.
520 $a Results also indicated that Taiwanese TA answers showed a greater use of self-repetition and other-repetition than American TA answers. It is argued that repetition at the beginning of an answer gives the TA time to encode his answer and gives the student a chance to confirm or deny correctness of the TA's repetition. Taiwanese and American TAs showed a similar pattern of eye gaze behavior.
