"[T]his newly updated second edition of Conversation analysis and second language pedagogy: A guide for ESL/EFL teachers is an immensely practical and easy-to-use resource for language teachers looking to incorporate the findings of conversation analysis (CA) into their pedagogical practice…. In short, this book sets out to be a practical guide for ESL/EFL teachers who are interested in using CA to inform their teaching practices and it succeeds emphatically in achieving this goal. The authors make an important and compelling contribution to encouraging a shift towards an empirically based interactionist perspective in L2 pedagogy."TESOL in Context, 30(2)
