Interaction Analysis and Second Language Teaching and Learning
The domain of verbal interaction analysis contributes to the field of second language teaching and learning in two ways:

The analysis of interactions such as conversations, interview,s and commercial negotiation, taking place in French speaking contexts, aims to identify new pedagogical objectives for courses focused on the development of the ability to communicate in a second language.
The analysis of second language interaction is a very useful tool to develop reflective practice for teaching.
We will analyze interactional data (i.e. interactions recorded in shops, conversation between friends, television or YouTube programs) and see how the analysis of verbal politeness, sequence organization, turn-takings, etc. can enrich the elaboration of a French as a Second Language syllabus. We will analyze classroom interaction data (treatment of errors, forms of elicitation, turn-taking...) and question the impact of these interactions on the pedagogical relationships and on students’ learning opportunities.
