Özet

Metadiscourse (MD) allows instructors to organize classroom discourse and reflect their own style while delivering the content. Albeit its being a popular field of research, metadiscourse has generally been studied in written contexts, which creates a gap concerning its role in spoken interactions. Accordingly, the current study aims to investigate the distribution and lexicogrammatical realizations of metadiscourse markers in spoken discourse of basic and social science EMI courses. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of the corpus collected from 36 hours of lesson observation have revealed variations in both the distribution and realization of metadiscursive categories in different EMI disciplines.
