Abstract
A redefinition of “task” is presented in terms of a situated ethnomethodological perspective. The “situation”, which is the focal point of this article, is a series of reading lessons in a third-grade classroom. My aim is to suggest that the ways in which the basic Initiation-Response-Feedback sequence is expanded may be task specific. I describe, analyze, and provide empirical examples of expanded Initiation-Response-Feedback formats in which I note that expansions of the format might be related to task needs.
