Critical Discourse Analysis of Classroom Discourse in Non-English Majors’ College English Classes
Abstract
Critical Discourse Analysis is a linguistic discipline that emerged in the middle and late periods of the 20th century. By conducting critical analysis of social texts, it explores and examines the relationship between language and social development. This paper conducts a transcription and analysis of classroom discourse in a college English class for non-English majors, aiming to explore the guiding role of this theory in college English teaching for non-English majors.
