A data-led examination of the interactions that take place in language teacher educationCombining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, this book draws on a range of spoken and written data collected from a variety of contexts. It explores interaction in pre- and in-service education programmes and analyses the spoken and written interactions of teachers with varying levels of experience who are adopting a range of modes of interaction. Both face-to-face and online modes of computer-mediated communication are explored. In doing so, the book provides examples of how data can be approached and used to uncover social-interactional themes and issues, in relation to language teacher education and as a micro-context of social interaction in general.With coverage of both theory and practice, this book is a key resource for educators and postgraduate students, in areas such as second language teacher education, TESOL, cross-cultural communication, sociology, philology, as well as discourse analysts.Key features•Provides insight into social interaction in the notoriously private world of language teacher education•Adopts empirical, corpus-based approaches to data analysis, bringing quantitative and qualitative dimensions to the data descriptions•Includes interactional tasks at the end of each chapter to consolidate understanding and encourage reflection•Draws on a number of modes of interaction including face-to-face lectures, tutorials, practice, feedback and online modes of computer-mediated communication, including blogs, discussion forums and chatFiona Farr is Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics/TESOL at the University of Limerick.Angela Farrell is Course Director of the MA TESOL programme at the University of Limerick.Elaine Riordan is a lecturer in TESOL at the University of Limerick.
