Teaching and Researching Speaking provides an overview of the main
approaches to researching spoken language and their practical
application to teaching, classroom materials, and assessment. The
history and current practices of teaching and researching speaking
are presented through the lens of bigger theoretical issues about
the object of study in linguistics, social attitudes to the spoken
form, and the relationships between spoken and written language. A
unique feature of the book is the way it clearly explains the
nature of speaking and how it is researched and puts it into the
context of a readable and holistic overview of language theory.
This new edition is fully updated and revised to reflect the latest
developments on classroom materials and oral assessment, as well as
innovations in conversation analysis. The resources section is
brought up-to-date with new media and currently available networks,
online corpora, and mobile applications. This is a key resource for
applied linguistics students, English language teachers, teacher
trainers, and novice researchers.
