Beskrivning
Research into the relationship between conversation analysis (CA) and different areas of applied linguistics is increasing rapidly. The aim of this volume is to show how conversation analysis can make a significant contribution to the teaching of spoken language for specific purposes (LSP) and to provide a firm foundation for future research and practice in this area. The first-ever collection in this area, the volume provides a theoretical and methodological framework for applying CA to LSP, as well as a series of illustrations of practical applications of CA in specific domains including interpreting, journalism, service encounters, academic discourse and the language classroom. The chapters in this collection are all written by CA practitioners with experience in the teaching of language for specific purposes and will appeal to researchers and students in applied linguistics and the social sciences, particularly those working in LSP teaching and teacher training.

Recensioner i media

«Bowles & Seedhouse’s book makes a convincing argument for the need to raise awareness amongst LSP teachers and learners of conversation as more than just information flow from one speaker to another. All articles in the book admirably pursue the same goal in showing how an integration of sequential analysis enriches our understanding of language teaching and learning. The book is therefore required reading for every teacher interested in speaking skills and conversation competence.» (Beatrice Szczepek Reed, The Linguist)
