Long description:

This collection explores the interface of multimodal conversation analysis (CA) and video-mediated L2 interaction and its potential to advance methodologies for analyzing the context-specific complexities of video-mediated interaction using a rich body of natural data.

Chapters feature both a range of different learning and teaching contexts, including online classroom settings, workplaces, language cafes, virtual exchange, and online tutoring, as well as languages, including English, German, French, Norwegian, and Turkish. Drawing on diverse perspectives and technology-mediated settings, this book seeks to shed light on the potential of CA to address theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations toward advancing the study of L2 interaction and to raise key issues and questions about the use of CA as a research methodology.

This volume will be of interest to students and scholars in CA, second language acquisition, computer-assisted language learning, and teacher education.

"Presenting fresh and exciting research findings, this volume sets the stage for future inquiry in a field whose relevance continues to grow. It is essential reading for scholars interested in second-language interactions, language learning and education, workplace communication, digital interaction, and multimodal approaches to conversation analysis. More broadly, it will appeal to anyone seeking deeper insight into interaction in technology-enhanced environments."

– Pentti Haddington, Professor, Research Unit for Languages and Literature (English), University of Oulu, Finland

"This book will become an essential resource for conversation analysts and researchers of technology-mediated communication and will contribute to the ongoing theoretical and methodological discussions in the field."

- Olcay Sert, Professor of English Language Education, School of Education, Culture and Communication, Mälardalen University, Sweden
