This article examines question-response interactions between a professor and his teaching assistant (TA) in an academic setting. Drawing upon conversation analysis (CA), this study aims to explore some problematic interactions during their communication and the negotiation sequence used to resolve the problems. A close examination of the data reveals that both of the participants are engaged in resolving the problematic interactions. Either modifying or suspending a current troublesome question is proved to be effective in solving the communicative problems. Both the professor and the TA have the tendency of confirming information before uttering a response when they are less confident to provide an answer. And the professor, rather than the TA, has the characteristic of continuously checking information during the interactions, which is regarded as a helpful tactic to prevent a problematic interaction from occurring. The findings may have an implication for enhancing the communicative competence in an academic setting.
