Room 1 (for CA Novices): Conversation Analysis (CA) for Beginners (In Thai and English)
(Foundations and techniques of conversation analysis with a basic hands-on data analysis session to boost conversation analysis knowledge and skills of participants and language teachers new to CA)

Speaker: Sumitta Supakorn, Thammasat University
This session establishes the foundations of CA for novices and presents CA techniques to explore the English language teaching and learning process in the Thai context. Participants will observe the analysis of turn-taking, sequence, and repair in four L2 classroom contexts (Seedhouse, 2004) using transcribed data from the video recordings of Thai learners’ classroom interactions.

Opening Colloquium on the CA-T Project

Enhancing English Conversation Skills of Thai EFL Learners via Conversation Analysis-Informed Teaching (CA-T) Approach
>>> Kemtong Sinwongsuwat, Prince of Songkla University and panel of CA-T teachers, including Abdulloh Waedaoh, Fateemah Baka, Hayas Saniboo, Kornsak Tantiwich, Patson Jaihow, and Prawit Boonmee

The colloquium showcases phase 2 of a study on Thai teachers and students in primary and secondary schools and a university that examined the effectiveness of a refined Conversation Analysis-informed teaching (CA-T) approach in teaching English conversation. It details the CA-T approach, lesson structure, and implementation at different levels, highlighting its effectiveness and seeking ideas for potential improvements.

Developing Conversation Analysis (CA)-Informed Closed Captions to Enhance English Stress and Intonation of Thai EFL Learners
>>> Prawit Boonmee, Burapha University

The presentation demonstrates how CA-informed transcription can enhance closed captions of video materials to help learners recognize English stress and intonation patterns. The process involves processing audio files, analyzing prosodic features, underlining and capitalizing syllables for primary stress and high pitch. This is believed to improve Thai learners' pronunciation of English stress and intonation.

Pedagogical Applications of Conversation Analysis: From Material Design to the Analysis of Students’ Task-based Interactions

In conversation-analytic terms, interactional competence (IC) is the ability to accomplish recognizable social actions in co-constructed interaction (Pekarek Doehler, 2018). In this presentation I illustrate how Conversation Analysis can be applied to the teaching of L2 IC and to the analysis of students’ L2 interactions, ultimately contributing to research-informed pedagogy.

Promoting and Analyzing Spoken Interaction in English Classrooms in Thailand

A general problem for English teachers in Thailand is how to get their students speaking English in the classroom. In this talk, a framework is introduced for teachers to use to get their students speaking English and to analyze and understand what happens in their lessons. Analyzing the lessons enables teachers to understand and reflect on their successful and unsuccessful elements and to make improvements in their own practice. The conclusion is that it is not enough to do 'fun activities' in English speaking lessons; for the best results, we need a framework to plan, deliver, analyze and reflect on our lessons.

Opportunities for student participation in young learner English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms in Denmark
>>>Søren Eskildsen, Associate Professor, University of Southern Denmark

I will use CA to analyze examples of teacher-mediated and student-mediated activities and discuss the extent to which the activities lead to participation on the part of the students. I will then take a closer look at exactly what the students contribute through their participation and discuss evidence for learning. I will end by outlining pedagogical implications.

FAB as a Resource for Cultivating the Professional Vision of a Language Teacher
>>>Hansun Zhang Waring, Teachers College, Columbia University (USA)

The notion of professional vision (Goodwin, 1994) usefully captures at least one goal of language teacher education – that of developing the ability to notice and reason as a language teaching professional. In this talk, I show how such professional vision may be cultivated through FAB, a CA-based framework.

IMDAT: A Conversation Analysis-informed, Technology-Enhanced, and Reflective Teacher Development Framework
>>>Olcay Sert, Professor, Mälardalen University (Sweden)

This talk will illustrate a CA-informed, data-led teacher education framework (i.e., IMDAT, Sert 2015, 2019) that facilitates teacher language awareness and classroom interactional competence. Using classroom interactions and reflective practice of teachers in Sweden and Türkiye as data, I will argue that IMDAT bridges theory and practice in teacher education.
