Abstract
This paper suggests that the verbal interactions that take place in the classroom are a centerpiece for both language learning and for the development of research in language teaching. Consequently, the conversations that take place in class provide a double perspective: as a learning tool and as a tool for knowledge. It is also noted, that teaching and student learning objectives (writing or grammar) determine the type of interaction generated in the classroom. The two observations converge on the finding of a complex relationship between research and teaching in qualitative research in language teaching. © 2013 Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje, ISSN: 1135-6405.
