Teacher discourse is the main way for teachers to conduct teaching.At the same time,feature analysis of the teacher discourse in College Excellent Video Open Course is helpful for teachers to reflect on their own teaching discourse,and then to diagnose and improve the problems existing in their discourse when they are teaching.It can also helps to reflect the ideas of teachers' teaching,and then enhance the effectiveness of teacher discourse,improve teaching quality and develop the ability of students' thinking.Therefore,this study takes the "Justice" Class at Harvard University as an example to study the teacher discourse of high-quality video open course,trying to reveal the characteristics of the excellent teacher discourse.I try to open up a "cross-domain" research of teacher discourse,and provide a new way of thinking for this kind of research.This study focuses on two issues:What is the analysis frame of the teachers' discourse in the “justice”class? What is the characteristic of teacher discourse in the "justice" class?.First,from the perspective of the pragmatic function of discourse,the study divides the teacher discourse into three parts: lecture,questioning and feedback.Then,based on the existing analytical frameworks at home and abroad,this study constructs the analytical frameworks of teaching discourse,questioning discourse and feedback discourse,combining pragmatics,pragmatic relevance theory and cognitive analysis theory.According to the existing analysis framework,I take three classes randomly from the 24 lessons of "Justice" course,and make use of the Excel table to analyze the discourse of Sandel in the three classrooms,and finally draws the conclusion.The findings show that daily discourse is the highest proportion of Sandel 's discourse,and the conversion mode is "induction" and "deduction";The types of questions are mainly classified into evaluation and creation,with clarity and context;The types of feedback discourse are mainly the promotion of affirmation and inquiry,and Sandel makes full use of polite expressions in feedback discourse.According to the above characteristics,the study gives the following guides: First,the teacher discourse conversion is an important medium to influence students 'learning,and excellent teachers are better at "deductive" and "induction";second,the quality of teachers' question and feedback plays a key role in students 'constructive meaning;Thirdly,teacher discourse features reflect teacher's teaching concern and teacher-student relationship.
