Theorizing Pedagogical Interaction: Insights from Conversation Analysis

By viewing pedagogical interaction through the lens of conversation analysis, this volume lays the groundwork for the three principles of competence, complexity and contingency. The author explores these principles and how they inform what makes a good teacher, how people learn and why certain pedagogical encounters are more enlightening than others. Drawn from the author's original research in various pedagogical settings, this volume collects empirical insights from conversation analysis, classroom discourse and theory building. It will appeal to students and scholars in applied linguistics, educational linguistics and communication studies.
