Drawing on video recordings and transcripts from a wide range of L2 teaching contexts, The Practical Nature of L2 Teaching presents a comprehensive examination of eight sets of specialized actions and action sequences involved in whole group instruction.

Each of the chapters highlights in exquisite detail the sophisticated, real-world accomplishment of L2 teaching. The purpose is not to impose a vision of how L2 teaching should be done. Instead, it is to illuminate its complexities and, in so doing, reveal informative differences between idealized understandings of L2 teaching and its lived realities.

The book is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers studying and working in the areas of classroom interaction, L2 teaching, and L2 teacher education.

Industry Reviews

Using naturally occurring classroom interaction data as the basis for the identification of teachables, this book proves to be an excellent outlet for language teachers and teacher educators as a data-led example of evidence-based L2 teaching.

By setting classroom practices against the backdrop of their counterparts in everyday interaction, Hall, He, and Khor throw into sharp relief what makes the practical work of second language (L2) teaching unique. With thoughtfully designed pre-reading questions, guided analyses, and post-reading activities, the authors have not only offered us a state-of-art account of L2 teaching but also immense opportunities to engage with the reality of L2 teaching first-hand. The volume will serve as an excellent text for any second language teacher training program that takes classroom interaction seriously.
