Conversation Analytic Research on Learning-in-Action

The book "Conversation Analytic Research on Learning-in-Action" offers a comprehensive analysis of language learning outside the classroom, also known as "in the wild." It highlights how second language (L2) learners are actively involved in their learning process. Contributions from international scholars critically examine the concept of second language learning in natural contexts. Through innovative data collection methods, such as video and audio recordings made by participants during their interactions outside the classroom, a deep analysis of linguistic practices is made possible. The authors base their analytical claims on how participants interpret each other's language and interactive behavior. These insights help illuminate the differences between L2 practices in natural and controlled environments, such as the classroom, and can contribute to the development of teaching materials for language instruction.
