This volume brings together work by linguists and applied linguists working primarily in North America and the British Isles, though Hong Kong, Singapore, and Finland are also represented. As implied in the title, the collection aims on the one hand to discuss a range of theoretical issues raised by recent empirical research into spoken English, and, on the other, to examine some of the implications of this work for English language teaching (ELT). Many of the contributions thus make explicit reference to data, whether by reviewing research, presenting samples of actual spoken language, or both, while at the same time offering proposals for and critical discussion of pedagogical practice.
