Description	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. In the past twenty years, research on second language acquisition (SLA), historically grounded on cognitivist theories, has been enriched by a number of more socially sensitive approaches often combining related areas within the field of Applied Linguistics. Interactional usage-based approaches refer to one of these combinations, namely, of Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis and Usage-based linguistics. Within these approaches language learning and grammar are understood to emerge from recurrent language use in social interaction (Pekarek Doehler, 2018 Pekarek Doehler and Eskildsen 2018). It is through this new perspective that the question of how languages are learned is addressed in this course. The course outlines important changes in SLA research and explores how language learning actually takes place, i.e., how patterns of language use are learned through social interaction and how they become part of learners repertoires to accomplish actions in the world. Through theoretical discussion and hands-on analysis of real-life excerpts of language learning, the course aims at 1) deepen students understanding of L2 English learning in light of current discussions and 2) discuss the implications of this body of research for L2 language teaching.
