Abstract: In this webinar, based on years of research into language classrooms in Luxembourg, Sweden, and Turkey, I will demonstrate the interactional dynamics of TESOL classrooms. I will argue that findings based on micro-analytic investigations into language classroom interaction will lead the way to research-based teaching, teacher education, and teacher development.
