Discourse markers in EFL teacher talk: the case of okay

The study described in the paper examines the use of discourse markers in the discourse of Croatian teachers of English. More specifically, it investigates the use of the discourse marker okay in different classroom settings. The aim of the paper is to identify the number and frequency of use of discourse markers in non-native teacher talk, and the functional and positional distribution of the discourse marker okay. The analyses were made on a corpus of 16 transcribed recordings of the talk of 8 non-native speaker teachers of English in Croatian elementary schools (grades 5 to 7).
