Talk-in-Interaction: Multilingual Perspectives Talk-in-Interaction offers original studies of interaction in a range of languages and
language varieties, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish,
Swahili, Thai, and Vietnamese; monolingual and bilingual interactions; and
activities designed for second or foreign language learning. Conducted from
the perspectives of conversation analysis and membership categorization
analysis, the chapters examine ordinary conversation and institutional
activities in face-to-face, telephone, and computer-mediated environments.most
language programs make placement decisions on the basis of placement tests,
there is surprisingly little published about different contexts and systems
of placement testing. The present volume contains case studies of placement
programs in foreign language programs at the tertiary level across the United
States. The different programs span the spectrum from large programs
servicing hundreds of students annually to small language programs with very
few students. The contributions to this volume address such issues as how the
size of the program, presence or absence of heritage learners, and population
changes affect language placement decisions. |

transfers successfully to pedagogical settings. This volume examines various
technologies and offers concrete advice on how each can be successfully
implemented in the second language curriculum. |
