Abstract	Although the initiation, response, and follow-up (IRF) conversational structure and the initiation, response, evaluation (IRE) structure, commonly termed "triadic dialogue," (Lemke, 1990) have been extensively documented in relation to classroom conversational style, there is little research on their distribution during, and impact on, learner speech outside the classroom. Data from 37 conversations, collected over a one-year study abroad homestay program, were categorized to determine how the conversations functioned as well as to reveal general patterns of language use. Triadic dialogue was discovered to be a common conversational style used between New Zealand homestay parents and their 17- and 18-year-old Japanese study abroad students. More specifically, the evaluative move was isolated and found to occur often with display questions made by the host, which also functioned to restrict conversation. Hosts initiated 83 times from approximately five hours of recorded conversations: 28 of these initiations were display questions, and 33 were referential questions. Students did not initiate any display questions and initiated 12 referential questions. Both the hosts' conversational dominance and the asymmetrical relationship perpetuated particular conversational patterns commonly framed within the triadic structure (Sinclair & Coulthard, 1975), which data suggested were difficult to break during the study abroad period.
