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.
