Annotation

This study discusses how Korean as a foreign language (KFL) teachers initiate activity transitions in American KFL university classrooms by altering their speech style to the -(u)psita form. Teacher-controlled, smooth, efficient transitions significantly add to teaching and learning as they help students correctly observe instructions and prepare them to be implicated in the ensuing activity.
