This poster session will feature ten original classroom-based discourse analyses conducted by graduate students in the English Language Teaching Practices (ELT) program at Akita International University (AIU). In their final project for Introduction to Foreign Language Acquisition class, students were required to collect authentic classroom discourse data, transcribe it using conversation analysis (CA) methodology, and provide an analysis of the discourse using what they have learned in the course. Finally, they were asked to provide a reflection about what they discovered in the process, and how their teaching will change as a result. This project is based on a framework designed by the course instructor in which student teachers learn the value of integrating action research with reflective practices (see Hale, Nanni & Hooper, 2018). Participants will be able to move freely between concurrent poster sessions.
