Discourse Analysis for Language Teachers is a practical introduction to discourse analysis and its relevance for language teaching.
The book begins with the question: What is discourse analysis? Different models of analysis are outlined and evaluated in terms of their usefulness to language teachers. This is followed by chapters dealing with new ways of looking at grammar, vocabulary and phonology in the light of discourse analysis. The final section of the book concentrates on spoken and written language with examples from native-speaker and learner data. It also considers some teaching approaches based on the insights of discourse analysis.
