Conversation Analysis & Language Learning Seminar in Hawaii (application deadline - April 30)

[National Foreign Language Resource Center]

The National Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC) at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu will be holding a special Conversation
Analysis seminar in August.  Please read the following for more details.
The application deadline is April 30, 2006.


"CONVERSATION ANALYSIS & LANGUAGE LEARNING" SEMINAR (AUGUST 7-11, 2006)

Conversation Analysis (CA) is increasingly adopted to examine second
language interactions as sites for and evidence of L2 learning as a
discursive practice. The purpose of the seminar is to further advance
this ongoing effort.  Topics will include: interactional competence as
resource and under construction, interaction & cognition, interaction &
grammar, interaction & learning, and membership categorization & social
identity.

The seminar does NOT offer an introduction to CA. Rather, it addresses
itself to researchers with a background in CA whose work focuses on, or
includes, CA as an approach to L2 learning. We hope to welcome veteran CA
analysts as well as graduate students with relevant training.  The maximum
number of accepted participants will be 20.

Our invited seminar leaders will be Gabriele Pallotti (University of
Modena and Reggio Emilia) & Johannes Wagner (University of Southern
Denmark).
