Description
This collection is the first to consistently adopt Conversation Analysis as an approach to second language interaction. By examining first and second language speakers participation in a wide range of activities, it challenges the dominant view of non-native speakers as deficient communicators. Proposing instead to understand second language users conversational participation as interactional achievement, the book makes a powerful case for ethnomethodological re-specification in second language research.
