- Examines the theory of discursive practice: the linguistic and socio-cultural characteristics of recurring episodes of face-to-face interaction that have social and cultural significance to a community of speakers
- Considers the discursive practice approach to language-in-interaction, clearly explaining the consequences of using this theory - of meanings negotiated through interaction, of the context-bound nature of discourse, and of discourse as social action
- Explores how participants’ abilities in a specific discursive practice may be learned, taught, and assessed
