This series of lectures will introduce the fundamental orientations and working practices of ethnomethodological conversation analysis and then examine how the resulting observations on interaction are of immediate relevance to the teaching of an additional language, specifically English. The seminar will focus on several broad and particularly well-researched aspects of empirically observable interactional order, including the SSJ turn-taking system, sequence organization, preference organization, questions and their replies as social actions, and designing CA-inspired lessons. The first session, which is open to the general public, will provide an overview of CA and an introduction to some of the most significant and often surprising observations. The following three sessions, for registered participants, will delve more deeply into these areas and provide guidance as to how CA-inspired teaching materials might be developed.
