Eric,
You might have a look at: Nassaji, H. and Wells, G. (2000)What's the
use of triadic dialogue?: An investigation of teacher-student
interaction. Applied Linguistics, 21 (3): 376-406. This paper adopts
a quantitative approach to the examination of whole-class discussions
in the classrooms of the DICEP teachers. A longer version with some
qualitative analysis of particular episodes can be found on my
webpage.
