|Abstract=This article explores how reading focus group data ‘against the grain’ offers new insights into publics’, and especially marginalised groups’, negotiation of dominant discourses. Using data from a study with members of the UN Foundation’s Girl Up campaign in the UK, US and Malawi, I demonstrate that reading against the grain both across and within groups enabled me to explore the girls’ complex negotiations of girl power discourses in international development. I argue that reading focus group data against the grain involves paying attention both to wider social power relations, as is crucial to a poststructuralist discourse analysis, and to interactions between group members, a form of analysis more commonly associated with Conversation Analysis. This methodological strategy enabled me to explore the topic of girl power discourses in international development from a new perspective, moving beyond the abundance of critiques in the literature of dominant discourses emerging from powerful institutions. By focusing on the girls’ instances of resistance to, and critical engagement with, dominant discourses, I suggest that reading focus group data against the grain opens up the possibility of a rich new area of research for scholars and practitioners alike: one which goes beyond simplistic victim/agency binaries and explores the complexities of audiences’ readings of texts.

|Abstract=The conversation strategies patients and clinicians use are important in determining patient satisfaction and adherence, and health outcomes following patient education?yet most studies are rife with surveys and interviews which often fail to account for real-time interaction. Conversation analysis (CA) is a powerful but underused sociological and linguistic technique aimed at understanding how interaction is accomplished in real-time. In the current manuscript, we provide a primer to CA in an effort to make the technique accessible to patient education researchers including; The history of CA, identifying and collecting data, transcription conventions, data analysis, and presenting the findings. Ultimately, this article provides an easily digestible demonstration of this analytic technique.

|Abstract=It is increasingly recognized that people living with dementia should be included in qualitative research that foregrounds their voices, but traditional research approaches can leave less room for flexibility than is necessary. This article builds on others who have examined the challenges and rewards of the qualitative research process with people living with dementia. With reference to a specific project on communication and dementia, the research design adaptations needed at each step to turn a 'misfit' into a 'fit' are examined. Misfitting, as a concept related to social practice theories, is used to argue the need for a coproduced and flexible approach to research design and data collection. Recommendations include being willing to adapt research methods, data collection locations, and aims of the project to fit participants? competencies, preferences, and realities; spending sufficient time getting to get to know staff and potential participants to build relationships; working round care practices and routines to minimize disruption; and using observational/visual methods can help include people living with dementia at each stage. People with dementia require researchers in the field to be creative in their methods, reflexive in their approach, and person-centered in their goals. Those adaptations can fundamentally change the ways in which the social practice of research is shaped.

|Abstract=This article draws on fine-grained analyses of video recordings of service interactions at the cafe counter to revisit the notion of rapport and conceptions of the customer in interactive service. We examine customers’ agency in building rapport and how it shapes interactions with staff. The article contributes to three areas of research. For the sociology of work and employment, it sheds light on customers’ agency and pro-active contribution to service through rapport. Second, for interactive service scholarship it shifts the perspective on rapport from solely the service employees’ task, to a collaborative accomplishment, and one that customers establish as much as employees do. Lastly, the article revisits service work in third places, emphasising the staff–customer encounter’s role in the creation and maintenance of sociability. The article thereby recasts the enjoyment of conviviality in service encounters against a utilitarian backdrop.

|Abstract=In this study, we observed classroom discussions in which teachers aimed to work on subjectification. Teachers were found to ask Experience Questions, which we define as questions that prompt the recipient to disclose how he/she would act or feel in a given situation. By applying Conversation Analysis, we show that post-expansion is provoked by either 1) inviting other students to respond to the initial response, 2) inviting the same student to elaborate on his/her response. When teachers invite other students, discussions are elicited that mostly involve cumulative lists of different responses to the initial Experience Question. When teachers invite the same student, discussions follow in which students take learner-initiatives to address the given response.

|Abstract=When the non-trouble-source speaker initiates and even repairs the repairable, s/he might extend the other-initiation or other-correction segment by rejecting or commenting on the trouble source, thus overexposing the trouble source. This study investigates the overexposed other-initiated repair in Mandarin talk-in-interaction. Overexposed other-initiated repairs in Mandarin are executed in a boldfaced manner for a certain interactional reason, which the current research explores from the conversation analytic perspective. Repairables in the current study fall into either error-based or non-error-based ones. Furthermore, the repairables are taken by the interactants as either a common-sense blunder or a moral blunder. In addition, other overexposures reveal the nuanced relation between interactants and their respective epistemic stance in the local interactional environment.

|Abstract=This study explores Dutch oral literature examinations (Mondeling Literatuur) in secondary education, which aim at eliciting an argumentative report of reading experiences on the basis of a selection of literary works. We examine the unfolding interaction within these exams, focusing on how teachers and students use various actions to construct distinct conversational activities. The data consist of 20 video recordings of oral exams from four secondary schools across the Netherlands and our analysis is based on Conversation Analysis. Our findings reveal that beyond the traditional question-answer format, alternative conversational activities emerge, namely more ordinary interaction about books and collaborative interpretation of literary works. Although asymmetries are inherent to the setting these activity types extend the exam beyond its traditional evaluative framework by transforming it into more symmetrical interaction. Through the analysis of prototypical examples of each activity type, this article highlights how Dutch literature exams evolve from formal assessment to shared literary exploration which still occasions pupils to display their knowledge.

|Abstract=In social interaction, we take on and are ascribed multiplex social categories. The capacity to transform, transcend, and transgress the boundaries of categories is the ability to transposition, a necessity for thriving in social life in the 21st century. This paper has two related goals. Theoretically, it argues that transpositioning is an interactional achievement and to understand this process, one needs to inspect on a moment-by-moment basis how speakers move beyond confines of their social categories. Methodologically, it extends the promise of Membership Categorization Analysis and posits that when employed in conjunction with sequential analysis through Conversation Analysis, it illuminates how transpositioning takes place at an interactional level. We present our arguments through analyses of transpositioning processes in three distinct language use contexts: workplace, everyday and educational interactions. In addition to conceptual and methodological contributions, the paper sheds light on the relationship between transpositioning and the morality of interaction, the emancipatory potential of transpositioning practices, and the connection between transpositioning on shorter and longer timescales. Implications for pedagogy and human-AI interactions are also discussed.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-4
|Abstract=Interactional participants face recurrent practical issues in successfully bringing off what they are doing together. These include: figuring out who speaks next and when they start; putting together the current action so that it relates to the prior one; dealing with trouble in speaking, hearing, or understanding; adequately phrasing some turn at some particular moment for some particular recipient(s); and transitioning through the phases of an overall occasion for interaction. To tackle these issues, participants use shared sets of practices—for taking turns, sequencing actions, repairing talk, designing actions, and structuring the overall episode of talk—that together form the “architecture” of interaction. This chapter reviews this architecture by focusing on four domains of structural organization: turn-taking, sequence, repair, and turn design. In our review, we include examples from a range of languages and cultures, as well as references where more detailed discussion can be found.

|Abstract=Beyond the established need for digital skills and a digital mindset, the role of workers on the ground in enabling digital transformation (DT) remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we recast DT as worker-centred practice adaptation with the case of auction sales of fine art and antiques shifting from mainly copresent to hybrid events during the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to a drastic acceleration of auction houses’ DT. With a longitudinal, sociomaterial study based on ethnographic fieldwork and video analysis, we show how auctioneers adapted their established practices in radically new and changing material configurations, to coordinate and order bids, to display the source of bids, and to pursue bidders. We show how hybrid copresence is created through new sociomaterial entanglements, reducing asymmetries between remote and copresent participants and bringing them together in a shared virtual environment encouraging participation and bidding. We theorise the empirical findings with three patterns of practice adaptation—imposing, transposing, and changing practices—correlated to the degree to which workers find partial or equivalent resources, or altogether different resources compared to previous material configurations. We integrate these patterns in a dynamic model of workers’ clusters of practices over time, providing a more fine-grained understanding of imbrication, the process through which material and social agencies interact and become interlocked into a durable structure. These finding shed new light on how the capabilities of new technologies are gradually enacted through practice adaptation and clusters of practices, ultimately supporting profound organisational restructuring like DT.

|Abstract=This study examines the multiple negation token iya as a compliment response in Japanese conversations. Compliment recipients can choose various methods of responding to compliments, including disagreement as a means of self-praise avoidance. Past studies reported that disagreement responses to compliments tend to be produced with qualifications or accounts. In Japanese, however, disagreements without verbal qualifications are pervasively observed, and those disagreements are frequently done with the multiple saying iya iya iya. Employing Conversation Analysis, this study examines 53 instances of the multiple iya as a compliment response. The aim of this study is twofold: First, it contributes to the research on compliment responses by examining the interactional purposes of responding to compliments with non-qualified disagreement. Second, this study extends existing research on multiple sayings by scrutinizing the use of the multiple saying iya iya iya in compliment sequences. The multiple iya responses are observed in two major sequential environments: 1) in response to compliments given in the third position after an answer turn, and 2) at a possible completion point of an extended telling. In both environments, the multiple iya is deployed to curtail the in-progress compliment sequence, while laughter serves as a vocal qualification to avoid complimentees’ complete disaffiliation with complimenters. These findings suggest that using the multiple iya as a compliment response is a way of managing asymmetries of participants’ epistemicity regarding the content of the compliments.

|Note=An updated version of: https://emcawiki.net/Arminen2013
|Abstract=Ethnomethodology examines the tacit, taken-for-granted methods through which social actors produce and sustain meaningful social order in everyday interaction. This entry outlines the core assumptions of ethnomethodology, emphasizing accountability, indexicality, and the reflexive relationship between social action and social order. Meaning is treated not as externally given but as an accomplishment of participants' situated practices. The article traces the intellectual origins of ethnomethodology in Garfinkel's work and its development into conversation analysis, which investigates the sequential and normative organization of talk-in-interaction. It reviews classical studies of mundane activities and institutional settings, highlighting how orderliness emerges through participants' own methods rather than imposed rules. The discussion then turns to later developments, including studies of work, sociomateriality, multimodality, and engagements with technology, AI, and design. These extensions demonstrate how interaction is co-constituted through talk, embodied conduct, material artifacts, and spatial arrangements. The article concludes by arguing that contemporary ethnomethodology retains its foundational concern with the “seen but unnoticed” practices of everyday life while expanding its analytical scope to address technologically mediated and socio-politically embedded forms of interaction.

|Abstract=No child's future gender identity can be predicted with certainty. This uncertainty can become a clinical challenge in both pediatric transgender care and differences of sex development (DSD)/intersex care, in which current predictions of a child's future gender may guide treatment decisions. Using conversation analysis, we examined video-recorded consultations in Dutch pediatric transgender and DSD/intersex care to examine how participants manage children's future gender in the here-and-now of their interactions. This article focuses on healthcare providers' sequence-initiating actions, ranging from rather unilateral to more bilateral approaches, specifically focusing on the two ends of the spectrum. We show examples of treatment assertions, where healthcare providers unilaterally relate potential treatment to a child's future gender, and bilateral perspective-display invitations, where the child's perspective on their future gender is explicitly incited. We show how treatment assertions leave little room for children to be interactionally involved, while perspective-display invitations elicit children to contribute to the local construction of their prospective gender, despite children's displayed uncertainty. Perspective-display invitations grant children epistemic authority regarding their future gender, whereas treatment assertions claim epistemic authority regarding gender-related treatment, although they do grant children deontic authority in terms of future treatment decisions. Also, treatment assertions are grounded in normative gender assumptions, but do render alternative futures possible by presenting treatment as optional. Perspective-display invitations may enable more open and collaborative challenging of gender norms. We argue that for clinical practice, particularly perspective-display invitations merit professional consideration as they facilitate children's participation and collaborative uncertainty management.

|Series=Directions in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis
|Abstract=Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis have made major inroads into the disciplines that make up the social sciences. Although commonly run together under the title of EMCA, what their relationship is to one another remains as elusive as the relationship between their respective founders, Harold Garfinkel and Harvey Sacks.

This book clarifies the nature of these relationships, demonstrating that Harvey Sacks’ studies of the sequential organisation of conversation are the cardinal example of what Garfinkel described as an ethnomethodological alternate to traditional social science. However, over the decades that have passed since Garfinkel developed ethnomethodology, several confusions have arisen as to what he meant. The author argues that these have resulted in a blunting of Garfinkel’s original intentions which compromise the adequacy of ethnomethodological description. In response, this book shows how Sacks’ considerations of adequacy can ground ethnomethodology as a “natural observational science” that redirects it towards developing further coherent and precisely circumscribed bodies of work to those of Sacks’ own coherent and precisely circumscribed studies.

It will appeal to both new and existing scholars of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, as well as those with interests in social theory, methodology, and those who have taken up the relevance of conversation analysis for their research and are interested in the ethnomethodological heritage of conversation analysis.

|Abstract=Conversation analysis (CA) has come a long way since its earliest days in the 1960s. This afterword traces its remarkable growth and transformation, following the lead of its most influential scholar, Emanuel Schegloff, whose rigorous empirical approach profoundly shaped the way we understand mundane talk. As the contributors to this handbook have shown, CA has since become both a powerful method for uncovering the details of social interaction and a tool for understanding and improving communication within institutions, such as courtrooms, classrooms, and clinics, as well as in social media exchanges. This expansion reflects a growing collaboration between CA researchers and practitioners, employing both qualitative and mixed methods alongside new technologies, such as video recordings and Zoom meetings. The afterword also highlights the growing significance of social justice perspectives within CA, as well as its ability to illuminate the routines and power structures that influence human interaction.

|Abstract=Conversation analysis (CA) studies have primarily focused on language and social interaction through the oral-aural modalities of spoken language and on the speech and writing of hearing communities. However, recent years have seen a significant widening of the focus as researchers have started to also investigate visuo-spatial, gestural, and tactile languages. This chapter reviews CA’s work on signed language interaction—social interaction where people who have limited or no access to hearing and/or vision are involved, meaning they instead use visual or tactile forms of signed languages in addition to a range of multimodal and sensorial resources. Drawing together some of the main themes and findings in the field, this chapter focuses on two interactional infrastructures: turn-taking and recipiency. It highlights the challenges and characteristics of turn-taking in signed language conversations, emphasizing the need to consider modality-specific factors when analyzing these interactions. It also suggests that findings from signed interactions can inform our understanding of visuo-spatial and multisensorial interaction. In addition, the chapter addresses some methodological considerations and future directions for further study.

|Abstract=This chapter explores how conversation analysis (CA) and the neurodiversity paradigm can mutually inform each other. Early work on “atypical interaction” often reinforced a hierarchy that positioned neurotypical communication as the norm. In contrast, the neurodiversity paradigm challenges deficit-based assumptions, reframing neurodivergent communicative practices as systematic, meaningful, and socially situated. Drawing on microanalyses of social interaction, CA demonstrates how competence is collaboratively achieved, how asymmetries in participation can emerge, and how neurodivergent communicative practices (such as stimming and echolalia) constitute creative forms of sociality. In doing so, CA illuminates the interactional achievements of neurodivergent individuals and the role of co-participants in enabling or constraining participation. By positioning neurodiversity as integral to CA and recognizing CA’s role in revealing the richness of neurodivergent interaction, this chapter underscores their reciprocal potential to deepen the study of social interaction and advance inclusive practices.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-41
|Abstract=This chapter offers a comprehensive review of research on service encounter interaction within the field of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. It begins with early studies from the 1970s focusing on the sequence organization of service requests and then presents the field’s development by expanding the focus of investigation to action formation in various forms of conduct, membership categories, and multimodal and perception-based practices relevant to service encounters. In particular, by departing from the logocentric approach, the review recommends that analyses should take into account action formation and action ascription as a basis for understanding how each interactional practice is organized. The chapter concludes by suggesting some ways that conversation analysis can continue to be a meaningful method for investigating service encounters.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-40
|Abstract=Intercultural communication is a common term for referring to communication that involves people of different cultures. At first glance, this seems like a straightforward concept; however, this apparent simplicity glosses over a number of thorny theoretical and methodological issues, such as what counts as “different cultures”. This chapter explicates the unique conversation analytic take on “intercultural” encounters and discusses how it contrasts with more traditional approaches. Subsequently, it reviews three central topics addressed by conversation analysis research on intercultural encounters: (1) “miscommunication” and conversational repair, (2) managing “isms”, and (3) interpreter-mediated institutional encounters. The chapter concludes with some thoughts on future research in this domain.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-39
|Abstract=This chapter provides a survey of conversation analytic (CA) research on multilingual interaction, defined here as talk involving more than one language. It begins by outlining CA as an emic framework for investigating interactional phenomena from the perspective of the participants themselves and then explores how this approach informs our understanding of code-switching and multilingual practices. The chapter next considers how the use of multiple languages shapes participation frameworks, language brokering, and translation. Throughout the chapter, we highlight the role of interactional repair in managing such complexity. This is followed by a review of research on identity orientations in multilingual interaction and a brief discussion of the notion of translanguaging, including how CA might contribute theoretical and methodological insights. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research directions in the study of multilingual interaction.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-38
|Abstract=Social media has become a flourishing area of research in conversation analysis (CA). Although CA was originally developed to analyze face-to-face talk, it has also yielded important insights into how people interact in digital environments. Many core findings about human interaction remain visible in social media contexts, yet these environments also introduce unique constraints and affordances. Interaction online is shaped by factors such as whether communication occurs in real time, who can view or participate in posts and threads, how emojis and images are used, and assumptions about the audience. Despite these differences, social actions remain central to what people do and how they do it when interacting on social media. In this chapter, we present a CA perspective on social media, explain its significance, and outline the main themes in this body of research.

|Abstract=This chapter reviews current research on video-mediated interaction and its interaction order—the normative orientations that characterize and produce a proper involvement in video-mediated communication (VMC). Within this Goffmanian framework, the chapter discusses the affordances of VMC settings, viewed as “fractured ecologies”, and focuses particularly on evidential boundaries, such as connection events and video frame borders. It treats the members’ orientation toward the production of “Talking Heads” as the default configuration for proper involvement in VMC. After reviewing research on the particulars of openings and closings in VMC, it introduces current discussions of the articulation of visual practices and talk-in-interaction in VMC, especially with regard to noticing and showing sequences

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-35
|Abstract=The interdisciplinary field of Gender and Sexuality Studies addresses the historical, social, and political forces shaping the ways members of society understand and experience their gender and sexuality. Conversation analysis is not primarily concerned with sex, gender, and sexuality. Rather, its intellectual project is to explain how everyday life is produced through the routine interpersonal interactions that people have with each other. However, there are some important confluences, including the resonances between contemporary feminist post-structuralist theories of gender performativity and ethnomethodological accounts of gender as an achievement. Importantly, feminist research using conversation analysis is expanding its scope by addressing significant social problems, such as gendered violence, women’s reproductive health, and “isms” in talk and interaction. Furthermore, such research can generate a grounded, evidence-based basis to inform responses to gender and sexuality issues as they continue to evolve with advances in new technologies.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-34
|Abstract=This chapter introduces the application of conversation analysis (CA) to research on healthcare interactions. After describing the distinctiveness of CA in the landscape of healthcare research, the chapter introduces several entry points to the analysis of healthcare interactions by drawing on research published in the last ten years. These examples illustrate how using CA can enable us to address meaningful questions and contribute to topical debates in healthcare research. Two threads cut across the chapter: how CA can be used to investigate ways in which participants shape their relationships in a situated manner, moment by moment, in interaction, and how participants navigate practical tensions and dilemmas within healthcare interactions. The chapter further considers the intersections between CA research on healthcare interactions and other strands of investigation by taking research on gender and sexuality as an example. Finally, it considers some overall contributions of CA, challenges associated with its use within healthcare research, and future directions.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-33
|Abstract=Some of the earliest empirical research in ethnomethodology (EM)/conversation analysis (CA) concerned interactions in the legal and judicial system. This was a consequence of EM/CA’s premise that there are always and unavoidably alternative versions of reality; there is no more perspicuous site for the conflict between alternative and competing versions of reality than legal settings. This chapter reviews CA studies of interactions, including police-citizen encounters—e.g., emergency calls to the police, police-suspect questioning—and stages of judicial hearings such as pre-trial negotiations and criminal trials. Looking across this range of empirical research, it highlights some of the key analytic themes around which this body of work coheres, namely, turn pre-allocation and specialized turn-taking systems, questioning and strategy, the micro-analysis of power, social actions, and the gestalt of everyday life. To illustrate how communicative practices identified in CA are relevant in understanding interactions in the legal process, the focus turns to self-corrections and formulations. Finally, we offer some ideas about future directions of CA research in this vital field of social life.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-32
|Abstract=This chapter offers an overview of current conversation analysis (CA) approaches to political discourse. The first section surveys research that traditionally takes a political communication perspective in exploring political discourse that emerges from interactions between political figures, media professionals, and the public. Focusing on “the discourse of politicians”, the section discusses findings from a range of studies that look at institutional forms of talk-in-interaction, including broadcast news interviews, public speeches, and political debates, but also less formal exchanges, like politicians’ meetings with constituents or talking with each other behind closed doors. The second part section surveys recent CA approaches to what is conceptualized as “the politics of everyday discourse”. This strand of research characteristically focuses on the work of social categories, such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, in organizing social difference and acts of prejudice and resistance in everyday interaction, to shed light on the (re)production of systems of social inequality and injustice and thus contribute to developing a critical perspective within CA.

|Abstract=This chapter examines conversation analysis (CA) as a research approach in language policy and planning studies. It overviews changes in the theorization of language policy that have opened spaces for conversation analytic work in the field. In particular, it emphasizes the notion of “practiced language policy” and the importance of tacit norms in shaping language choice. It then provides an overview of how CA can be applied to interactional data to identify the tacit language policies that shape how languages are used in interaction. It then reviews some studies that have used CA as an analytic method to investigate language policies in educational, family, online, workplace, and healthcare settings.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-30
|Abstract=This chapter brings together conversation analysis (CA) research that shows how school and education are talked into being. First, the chapter looks at CA research on interaction in the classroom—not only teacher-fronted whole-class interaction but also dyadic interaction between a teacher and a single student, as well as student-student interaction in group work. Then, it discusses research on education-related interaction outside the classroom, in particular interaction in the playground, teacher-parent conferences about the child, meetings in which teachers and possibly other education professionals discuss individual students, and finally studies on oral examinations. The research in this chapter shows that pedagogies are realized in interaction and that teachers may implement different pedagogies by making choices in their interactional behavior. Moreover, the research shows that, beyond the classroom, school is co-produced in different settings, such as teacher-parent talk. The chapter concludes with a short discussion of the value of CA research for teachers.

|Abstract=Conversation analysis (CA) has become a key approach in early childhood studies, offering deep insights into children’s interactions across a variety of settings. Sacks’s early lectures demonstrated a keen interest in children’s lives and how they competently organize social worlds in an adult-governed world, sparking a growing prevalence of the study of infants, toddlers, and young children through a CA approach. This chapter aims to capture key messages from CA early childhood studies, with a focus on (1) the social competence of infants, toddlers, and young children; (2) morality and socialization in adult-child and children’s peer interactions; and (3) pedagogy and learning-in-interaction. The chapter concludes with suggested readings and a discussion of future directions, emphasizing practical applications and further research to advance CA in early childhood studies.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-27
|Abstract=This chapter explores and describes second language use in settings beyond the classroom, also sometimes referred to as “the wild”. These settings are incredibly varied and include service encounters, professional interaction, au pair families, and everyday mundane interaction between friends, but they also border on institutional, educational interaction, as for example in study abroad contexts, conversations-for-learning, and language cafés. This exploration, therefore, concerns this continuum of wildness—from settings that are totally separated from language education (e.g., workplaces) to those that are more closely related to such education (e.g., conversations-for-learning). The chapter highlights the role played by conversation analytic research in bringing about insights into linguistic and social-interactional practices in second language use outside of the classroom. A key point here is that recent and current research into some of the settings to be discussed has called or is calling for more qualitative research to advance our understanding of local-social practices. Conversation analysis (CA) is a perfect match for this call. The chapter concludes by pointing out some avenues for future CA research into the domains discussed.

First, it explores how knowledge asymmetry between tutor and tutee is negotiated and displayed. Second, it investigates how tutees resist advice and how tutors manage such resistance. Third, it addresses how tutors approach language development, highlighting the significance of contingent, individualized language instruction and writer-focused approaches in developing writing skills. The chapter concludes by outlining directions for future research, emphasizing the need for microanalysis of tutor-tutee interactions in diverse educational contexts.

|Abstract=Despite fundamental differences in epistemology and research traditions, conversation analysis (CA) has made significant contributions to research and practice in the field of Language Testing and Assessment, particularly through the development and validation of speaking tests. This chapter undertakes an overview of the central questions regarding assessing speaking that CA has played a key role in addressing—from defining the ability to be assessed and validating test tasks and conditions to unpacking features of higher and lower score levels. It then provides an account of the challenges in contributing CA findings and insights to the testing community and lays out important considerations as well as opportune areas for CA researchers wishing to translate CA findings into applicable changes in language testing practice. The chapter concludes by outlining three future directions where, with an open mind toward crossing disciplinary and research-practice boundaries, CA researchers could continue to meaningfully contribute to the field of language testing and assessment.

|Abstract=This chapter introduces two ways for conceptualizing the relationship between conversation analysis (CA) and language teacher education (LTE): CA on LTE and CA for LTE, where CA is used either (1) as a methodology to investigate the work of LTE (applied CA) or (2) as a resource for reshaping LTE (interventionist CA). After a review of CA scholarship that illuminates the complexities of LTE, mostly in the context of post-observation meetings (CA on LTE), the bulk of the chapter documents how CA has played a pivotal role in respecifying language teaching targets and recalibrating language teacher practices (CA for LTE). The chapter concludes by outlining such future directions as synergizing different CA-informed teacher development frameworks and documenting the impact of adopting such frameworks.

|Abstract=Technology-mediated social interaction has a long history in conversation analysis (CA). This chapter provides an overview of existing CA research that has investigated social interaction in second language (L2) teaching and learning contexts that involve technology use. These studies have shown how technology shapes the social order of language teaching and learning. The chapter identifies recurring research themes related to the role of technology as (1) the medium of teaching and learning interaction, (2) a situated resource for learning, (3) a task environment, and (4) an agentic participant. The chapter concludes with a brief reflection on emerging research trends and methodological challenges for CA research in the area, including the increasing prominence of human-machine interaction and conversational artificial intelligence in language education.

|Abstract=This chapter introduces conversation analysis (CA) studies on second language (L2) literacy, particularly for early-career researchers in the field. It examines how CA as an analytical approach has been applied to developing our understanding of the social nature of literacy events within L2 educational environments. Specifically, the chapter (1) describes how inscribed objects serve as resources for L2 teaching and learning; (2) explores participants’ conduct in fulfilling institutional agendas during L2 literacy contexts; and (3) examines the evolution of participants’ interactional practices over time within these contexts, highlighting the benefits and catalysts for these changes. Via an in-depth review of the relevant literature, the chapter aims to deepen understanding of CA’s role in L2 literacy and to set the stage for future research on this topic. It highlights the dynamic interplay between social interaction and literacy, emphasizing the social nature of talk “with and about” texts and the complexity of teaching and learning in L2 literacy contexts.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-21
|Abstract=This chapter introduces the most prominent lines of conversation analysis (CA) research on face-to-face interaction in second language classrooms. The first part of the chapter focuses on teacher-student interaction and illustrates examples of classroom interactional competence; that is, the ability to maximize learning opportunities (e.g., by asking follow-up questions, opening up slots for self-correction). The second part focuses on student-student interactions and shows how students interpret and observably implement class assignments. The analysis of student-student interactions also highlights the students’ interactional competence; that is, their ability to accomplish social actions (e.g., proposing an idea and dis/agreeing) with the semiotic resources at their disposal. Overall, the chapter presents CA as a powerful tool for describing how teachers and students achieve the institutional goals of teaching and learning through interaction.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-20
|Abstract=This chapter introduces the notion of interactional competence, which relates to speakers’ systematic procedures (or methods) for co-constructing recognizable social actions and managing interaction organization through various interactional practices and semiotic resources. After outlining the conceptual roots of the notion in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (CA), the chapter discusses conversation analytic research on how speakers of a first and a second language develop their interactional competence over time, focusing both on the development of interactional practices for action accomplishment and the development of related linguistic (and bodily-visual) resources. The cumulative evidence from existing research points to a developmental trajectory that consists of speakers’ diversifying their practices and resources for action over time, enabling them to deploy increasingly recipient-designed and context-sensitive conduct. The chapter also identifies the impact CA work on interactional competence development has had within and outside of CA, contributing to the emergence of longitudinal CA and holding implications for (second) language testing and teaching. Based on empirical evidence, the chapter identifies avenues for future research, highlighting the need for more attention to the catalysts of interactional competence development and a more diverse empirical basis in terms of participant groups, interactional settings, and languages investigated.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-19
|Abstract=This chapter reviews research that can be labeled as conversation analysis for second language acquisition (CA-for-SLA or just CA-SLA). After first considering the appropriateness of the label CA-SLA, it discusses the earliest influences of CA on the field of SLA. It then delves into the development of CA-SLA following the publication of Firth and Wagner. This discussion is divided into four parts, which look at CA-SLA research on L2 user identity, ethnomethodological respecification of key concepts from SLA, embodiment in L2 interaction, and L2 interaction outside the language classroom. The chapter then selectively reviews longitudinal, micro-longitudinal, and cross-sectional research on learning and change, which are grouped under the label of vertical CA-SLA. It ends with a discussion of future directions for CA-SLA.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-16
|Abstract=As a form of institutional talk-in-interaction par excellence, interviews have long featured in conversation analysis (CA) research, both as a data resource and as a site for investigation itself. This chapter focuses on CA’s contributions to the institution of the qualitative research interview. It begins with a discussion of competing approaches to conceiving of qualitative research interviews, before turning to ethnomethodology’s conception of the local, situated, order-producing achievement of social action, which is central to CA and to the theorization of interviews using CA. Following the problematization of the distinction between “naturalistic” vs. “researcher-provoked” data, the focus turns to three powerful contributions that CA has provided for the analysis of interview data: recipient design, adjacency pairs, and formulations and reformulations. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future directions in applied linguistics for the analysis of the emergent, locally contingent, and epistemically grounded actions and activities that constitute the institution of the qualitative research interview.

Coding interactional behavior forms the foundation of quantification and, when designed in line with the principles of conversation analysis (CA), it can take into account the sequential and interactive nature of interaction. This chapter explores the potentials and challenges involved in extending CA through corpus linguistics, experimentation, and visualizations. It argues that these approaches benefit from CA’s formal rigor in identifying and describing interactional phenomena, especially when aiming for sound operationalization. At the same time, quantitative expansions offer significant advantages for applied CA: They make it possible to test associations between interactional phenomena and exogenous variables, and they complement micro-analytical insights with broader, macro-level perspectives. This wider lens opens up opportunities for statistically assessing CA claims and exploring interactional patterns.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-14
|Abstract=This chapter explores a specific line of societally oriented conversation analysis (CA) research—interventionist CA—that has attracted growing attention. First, the interventionist approach is contextualized within the broader area of applied CA, because an increase in applied research has facilitated the expansion of interventionist studies. Thereafter, methodological, practical, and ethical issues concerning the use of CA for interventionist research are explored. To help illustrate the process and benefits of CA-based interventionist research, two case studies are presented—one in the context of language education and the other in the development of conversational technologies. The chapter closes with a discussion of potential future directions for this increasingly important branch of CA research.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-13
|Abstract=This chapter provides a practical overview of doing conversation analysis (CA) research. It discusses the various steps that are typically done before you present your findings in a publication. These steps include how to formulate or “translate” a research question/topic so that CA can address it; how to get access to the relevant site(s) of recording; how to prepare for the recording, including selecting the appropriate recording devices; and the purpose of transcribing (fragments of) the data. These steps are crucial because they define the type and quality of the recordings and, hence, the kind of analytic points you can make with them. Analyzing the data is an iterative process and typically includes discussions of data fragments with colleagues before finding a candidate phenomenon that can be analyzed further. The analytic aim is to describe a social practice to which the participants in the recording demonstrably orient.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-11
|Abstract=Although the field of conversation analysis (CA) was founded upon examinations of interactional “routines” such as conversation openings and closings, it does not conceptualize and categorize communicative phenomena as “formulaic”. This chapter details how, since its inception, CA work has empirically elucidated ways in which participants in recorded episodes of naturally occurring social interaction actively and collaboratively accomplish conversational activities as routine or not, by selecting from available action alternatives, spontaneously coordinating their selections vis-à-vis one another. Taking a multimodal CA approach, this chapter reviews state-of-the-art literature on how people open and close in-person and telephone conversations, showing the immense importance of conversational “routines”—including greeting another person, introducing oneself to someone new, and saying goodbye. Presenting evidence that people tailor their social actions to/for one another in meaningful, creative, and nuanced ways, this chapter illuminates how these phenomena sustain our human sense of self and our social relationships.

|DOI=10.4324/9781032720852-10
|Abstract=Membership categorization analysis (MCA) has a history as long as conversation analysis (if not longer) and provides a toolkit for observing and describing “culture-in-action”. This chapter explores that toolkit: It provides an overview of what MCA is and how it relates to identity, what MCA does, and where MCA came from. It outlines the distinction between categories, devices, predicates, and collections, and how these fit within the MCA enterprise. Drawing this together with example analyses, the chapter demonstrates how a category comes into being, how the “under-the-surface” nature of categories can be analyzed using MCA, and what can be said about identity construction from this point of view. Finally, the chapter offers various ways of getting into data using an MCA approach and suggests future directions for MCA.

|Abstract=Storytelling is pervasive in our lives. It is integral to how we go about doing life as usual (e.g., analyzing the current situation that we find ourselves in). In this vein, stories may be told for their own sake, but they are often done to achieve social actions: “to complain, to boast, to inform, to alert, to tease, to explain, to excuse or justify”. This chapter surveys the early and later CA literature on storytelling, which largely returns us to Sacks as he was the pioneer in laying the foundation for the sequential analysis of storytelling in his search for a “technology for conversation”. This survey of the literature commences with a section on storytelling and the notion of understanding, which segues into the main section and overall thread of the chapter (i.e., storytelling as an interactional achievement), which is subdivided into three main components that comprise storytelling structure: launching the story, telling the story, and responding to the story. The chapter concludes with a consideration of future directions, along with a few suggested readings.
