In a series of studies specially written for this volume, Studying Speaking to Inform Second Language Learning offers the applied linguist research on spoken interaction in second and foreign languages and provides insights as to how findings from each of these studies may inform language pedagogy. The volume offers an interweaving of discourse perspectives: speech acts, speech events, interactional analysis, pragmatics, and conversational analysis.

Diana Boxer is Professor and Chair of Linguistics at the University of Florida and author of several books. Andrew D. Cohen is Professor in English as a Second Language Program, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis and author of several books.
