I. INTRODUCTION
In this globalization era, the value of English as an international language is significantly escalating in different aspects. Its significance is considered in classroom to prepare students in their future line of endeavor. Despite the innumerable benefits that English language can give, it has still a wide variety of components that are needed to be considered and examined in order to fully understand its complexities. Discourse analysis as an aspect of language use is vital to understanding diverse conversational exchanges or written texts. Definitions of it are given by different language experts to essentially and practically extract its importance. (Brown & Yule, 1983 mentioned in Juez, 2009) The analysis of discourse is, necessarily, the analysis of language in use. As such, it cannot be restricted to the description of linguistic forms independent of the purposes or functions which these forms are designed to serve in human affairs. (Fasold, 1990 mentioned in Juez, 2009) The study of discourse is the study of any aspect of language use. Applying discourse analysis in a classroom interaction brings an avenue of discovering the undiscovered language domains found in varied socially situated processes. Furthermore, unspoken acts i.e., body languages are taken into account to uncover the hidden messages of the exchange of ideas throughout the activity. (Wray and Kumpulainen) Classroom interaction refers to all the ways in which participants in classrooms interact with one another, including oral interaction, non-verbal interaction and shared activity.
