Abstract

Since the beginning, second language acquisition (SLA) studies have been pre- dominantly cognitive in their theoretical assumptions and programmatic agen- das. This is still largely true today. In this paper, we set out our proposals for learning talk analysis (LTA). LTA synthesizes insights from linguistic phi- losophy, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, discursive psychology, and the discourse hypothesis in SLA. LTA points to behavioral, process-oriented accounts of mind, cognition, affect, language, and language learning that are agnostic about a priori theoretical claims that such traditionally psychological constructs underlie SLA. Instead, LTA treats these constructs as observable, socially distributed interactional practices. While an ethnomethodological re- specification of SLA studies is a key agenda item of LTA, LTA is also concerned to foster an on-going conversation with all SLA researchers. The paper defines LTA, discusses how the various intellectual traditions it invokes form a coher- ent whole, provides a sustained, empirical exemplification of how LTA works, and suggests possible areas for future collaboration between behavioral and cognitive SLA researchers.
