Conversation Analysis in Tesol Research
This article reviews the influence of conversation analysis (CA) in TESOL research over the previous six decades. Grounded in CA's ethnomethodological foundations, I trace its progression from sociology into second language education in four developmental phases: (1) early conceptual influences (1970s–1980s), (2) emerging methodological interest and integration (1990s–early 2000s), (3) methodological refinement and establishment (mid‐2000s–mid‐20…

A discursive constructionist approach to narrative in language teaching and learning research
Elephants in the Room
“I am an adult now”
This narrative-based study employs membership categorization analysis to address the following question: How does a victim of abuse formulate and manage various categories and related descriptive details to story past trauma in ways that bring about new endings or insights in the present? Drawing on data taken from a larger research project on immigrant identity, the analysis centers on a Cambodian-Vietnamese man’s narrative of childhood abuse an…

The interactional dynamics of scaling and contrast in accounts of interpersonal conflict
Introduction to topicalizing regrading in interaction
Accomplishing “rapport” in qualitative research interviews
This study seeks to bring a more interactionally grounded perspective to the concept of “rapport” and its relevance for qualitative interviewing practices. Building on work within conversation analysis (CA), it respecifies rapport as affiliation and, more specifically, empathy . Analysis centers on case study data from an interview with an asylum seeker from the Philippines. It examines how interviewer and interviewee move in and out of empathic …
Emotion in Multilingual Interaction
This volume brings together for the first time a collection of studies that investigates how multilingual speakers construct emotions in their talk as a joint discursive practice. The contributions draw on the well established, converging traditions of conversation analysis, discursive psychology, and membership categorization analysis together with recent work on interactional storytelling, stylization, and multimodal analysis. By adopting a dis…
Introduction
You said that?”
This paper examines a topic that has not gained much analytic attention in research on represented talk: how recipients respond, and how their responses shape the ongoing interaction. Using conversation analysis, we investigate responses to represented talk in complaint stories told in autobiographical interviews. Supportive recipient actions are the most common, but on occasion the recipient other-initiates repair on the quoted talk. These other…

Analyzing Storytelling In Tesol Interview Research
Autobiographic research interviews have become an accepted and valued method of qualitative inquiry in TESOL and applied linguistics more broadly. In recent discussions surrounding the epistemological treatment of autobiographic stories, TESOL researchers have increasingly called for more attention to the ways in which stories are embedded in interaction and thus are bound up with the social contexts of their production. This paper advances these…
Re-Examining Alignment in a "Failed" L2 Autobiographic Research Interview
Contributing to a "social studies of interview studies," this article addresses the treatment of "failed" autobiographic interviews. Taking a discursive constructionist approach, the author re-examines a problematic second language (L2) English interview with an immigrant man from Cambodia. Analysis focuses on the interactional management of (mis)alignment and how it contributed to the shape and outcome of the activity. By turning away from failu…

Self-presentation in L2 Interview Talk
This study draws on a narrative constructionist framework to examine the active representation of self and experience in second language (L2) ethnographic interviews and autobiographic narratives of immigrant experience. Analysis centers on two versions of a complaint narrative of institutional mistreatment told 2 years apart by a man who immigrated to Canada. Special attention is given to the collaborative work he and the interviewer engage in t…
