Dear all,

We thank you for your wonderful feedback on our first reading group meeting on Conversation Analysis and Language Teacher Education. Next up, we have selected “The use of video-enhanced observation in video-mediated post-observation conversations on pre-service EFL teachers’ online practicum teaching” by Arzu KANAT-MUTLUOĞLU and Ufuk BALAMAN. You can find the paper here.

As TEDU CAN Research Group, we held our second data session on April 15, 2025. The focus of the meeting was on classroom interaction in higher education EFL settings, with İlayda Şahin sharing her classroom data for collaborative analysis.

We thank all members for their participation and look forward to the upcoming sessions that will continue to strengthen our research community.
