This paper is part of a classroom research about oral comprehension (interactive aspects) with focus on student-student interaction. The objective of this research was to investigate the linguistic resources used by the students in the oral comprehension of the target language in a didactic activity of a specialized language school in French. The theoretical background of the research is based on Selinker, Giacobbe e Py. With the starting point in a corpus of interaction, it was found out that the student applies the acquisition of the foreign language to the mother tongue, going through the interlanguage. So, this paper intends to discuss the issue of the Interlanguage and the exolanguage conversation.
