Reconceptualizing intervention and change in conversation analytic perspectives, this volume not only illustrates actual, rather than imagined, ways of conducting CA-informed interventions in a variety of teacher-training contexts around the globe but also documents the impact of such interventions on teacher development.

The contributors to this volume have intentionally moved CA beyond a descriptive methodology to recognizing how CA-influenced decisions and procedures can, and do, result in productive changes in teachers interactional and instructional pedagogies. A gift to the field of Language Teacher Education, this volume offers rich data-driven evidence of the material impact of engagement with CA on the professional development of language teachers. (Karen E. Johnson, The Pennsylvania State University, USA)

The contributors illustrate how CA-based frameworks can help both pre-service and in-service language teachers sharpen their professional vision and enhance their pedagogical skills, making a compelling case for integrating CA into language teacher education while offering concrete guidance for developing teachers' interactional awareness and competence. This groundbreaking volume will be a key reading in both Applied Linguistics and TESOL programmes. (Steve Mann, University of Warwick, UK)

Conversation Analysis (CA) should be an integral part of teacher-training programs. This plea is convincingly made in this new volume. After many years of CA studies of classroom interaction, it was only a matter of time before CA should enter teacher-training programs. The reports from the US, Sweden, Germany, Türkiye and Japan in this volume show that that time is now. (Tom Koole, University of Groningen, The Netherlands)

In true CA fashion, this book eschews generalized recommendations for how to leverage CA for LTE to instead provide detailed descriptions of how to do so. ... This book will likely be required reading for those doing CA for LTE, and it will be an indispensable resource for conversation analysts looking to leverage their skillset and mindset through intervention as well as language teacher educators looking for a fresh way to analyze, reflect on, and change teaching practice. (Mark Romig, Language and Education, November 6, 2025)

One of the key strengths of this volume is its broad relevance. For CA researchers, it offers a diverse set of empirical cases . For teacher educators, teachers, and reflective practitioners, the empirical chapters provide practical models for designing reflective tasks, feedback structures, and coursework interventions that deepen both reflective talk and teaching practice . Conversation Analysis and Language Teacher Education: Intervention Studies is a landmark contribution that opens new horizons for both CA and LTE. (Eunseok Ro, Classroom Discourse, October 7, 2025)
