Leading researchers in the field of spoken discourse and language
teaching offer an empirically informed, issues-based discussion of
the present state of research into spoken language. They address
some of the complex and rewarding opportunities offered by these
emerging insights for language education and, specifically, for
TESOL. They ask whether new data and evidence that spoken discourse
is a distinctive genre will challenge existing language theories
and teaching. What could be the practical outcomes for curriculum,
teaching approaches, materials and assessment? A stimulating
resource for researchers and for professional and student language
teachers.
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.

In this activity-based text, Rebecca Hughes invites the reader to
examine the differences between spoken and written English. Instead
of presenting a bewildering array of 'facts' about variety in
English, she encourages the reader to actively investigate the
differences between these two modes of communication by comparing
actual speech patterns with literary ones. This indispensable guide
to the basic methods of analysis provides both an overview of the
relationship between speech and writing and an introduction to a
central theoretical issue in language studies. By the end of the
book, readers will have had the opportunity to consider material
from an extensive selection of spoken and written varieties -
including boxing commentaries, detective novels and film scripts -
while being encouraged to formulate their own opinions with regard
to lexis and structure. In addition, the tasks that have been
incorporated into the end of every chapter provide suggestions for
further self-study and follow-up work.
