This series brings together titles dealing with a variety of aspects of languageacquisition and processing in situations where a language or languages other than thenative language is involved. Second language is thus interpreted in its broadestpossible sense. The volumes included in the series all offer in their different ways, onthe one hand, exposition and discussion of empirical findings and, on the other, somedegree of theoretical reflection. In this latter connection, no particular theoreticalstance is privileged in the series; nor is any relevant perspective – sociolinguistic,psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, etc. – deemed out of place. The intended readershipof the series includes final-year undergraduates working on second languageacquisition projects, postgraduate students involved in second language acquisitionresearch, and researchers and teachers in general whose interests include a secondlanguage acquisition component.

This is the second edited volume in the Advances in Applied Linguistics Series - following from the one edited by Claire Kramsch (2002b). The book brings together invited papers from a wide range of scholars working in different linguistic and sociocultural contexts, all of whom have a focus on conversation analysis (CA) in second language encounters.
The term Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) refers to educational settings where a language other than the students’ mother tongue is used as medium of instruction. While in principle, of course, any second or foreign language can become the object of CLIL, in this study, as well as in educational reality, English is the language which dominates the scene, be it as a foreign language in Europe and many parts of Asia, or as a second language in North America but also parts of Africa and Asia.
