Workshop on Learning at the 2002 meeting of the Jpn Association of Sociolinguistic Sciences

[We held a workshop on Conversation Analysis at the annual meeting of the Jpn Association of Sociolinguistic Sciences in September 2002.]

• Date: Sunday, September 22, 2002
• Veneu: Tohoku Universtiy, Kawauchi-Kita
• Topic: Conversation Analysis on Learning
• Organizer: Aug Nishizaka (Meiji Gakuin University)
• Presenters: Tomoyo Takagi, Yuri Hosoda, Scott Saft, Dominic Berducci, Aug Nishizaka
• Abstract:

  This workshop aims at the examination of possible directions that Conversation Analysis (developed by H. Sacks, E.A. Schegloff etc.) may be able to take, by focusing on a classical topic for human sciences, i.e., learning. We wish to demonstrate how insightful Conversation Analysis can be about human beings and language, by attacking this rather challenging topic.
