Description
This book presents an international range of conversation analytic (CA) studies of classroom interaction which all discuss their empirical findings in terms of their theoretical and methodological contribution to the field of second language studies and their potential pedagogical relevance. The volume is thus unique in its focus on the theoretical and practical insights of CA classroom-based research and on the impact that such insights might have at the pedagogical level, from teaching to testing to teacher education. Given the growing interest in the pedagogical applicability of CA research, this book is a timely addition to the existing literature.
Reviews / Votes
"The volume could be on the reading list on postgraduate programmes on foreign language teaching as well as teacher training programmes. ... the volume's chapters contain many increments to knowledge in terms of our understanding of the processes of language learning, teaching, and assessment in a wide range of settings. It provides many helpful guidelines and examples of how insights from CA studies may be packaged to make them more digestible and useful for practitioners."

She has recently co-edited the volume Teaching and Testing L2 Interactional Competence: Bridging Theory and Practice (2019, Routledge) with Rafael Salaberry. She is one of the associate editors of Classroom Discourse. She has also worked as a language teacher in Italy and the US and has been involved in teacher education, both at the pre-service and in-service levels in the US and Sweden.
