An Introduction to the Methods of Conversation Analysis

The course will be limited to no more than 15 participants who will work intensively with the two tutors to develop basic skills in transcription and in understanding the conversation analytic approach to talk as action. We will introduce participants to key analytic tools and methodological techniques in analysing data, including making collections of phenomena and analysing interactional patterns and practices, on the basis of those collections. The course will be organised through talks and practical activities and exercises, with an emphasis on hands-on work with data.
