AB Contrastive Discourse Analysis operates in a boundary area where linguisticsand psychology overlap. Systematic analysis of classroom and academic discourse can enhance approaches to public discourse, including those dealing withthe communicative content rather than the form of texts. Such is the context ofthe bilingual discourse in the university classroom. This study takes a sequencedand multi-methodological approach to analyse, first, the errors in spoken performance in the bilingual classroom; second, the impact of these errors on overallintelligibility. The sample is taken from academic discourse and is comprised of34 hours of spoken interaction with eight different Spanish speakers teachingthrough English. The findings show that compensatory discourse strategies, including listener comprehension, impacted communication much more than theerrors detracted from it.
