Conversation and Discourse Analysis
NB. NOTES FOR INTERESTED STUDENTS
The course content for this year is under construction and will change.
While the focus of the course will remain the same, the balance of the content between two types of analysis will change and hands-on tasks added to the curriculum.
The module will introduce students to the study of language use as a distinctive type of social practice. Attention will be focused primarily on the methodological and analytic principles of conversation analysis. (CA). However, it will explore the debates between CA and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), as a means of addressing the relationship between the study of language use and the study of other aspects of social life. It will also consider the roots of conversation analysis in the research initiatives of ethnomethodology, and the analysis of ordinary and institutional talk. It will finally consider the interface between CA and CDA.
Topics:
- Session 1: The Roots of Conversation Analysis
- Session 2: Ordinary Talk
- Session 3: Institutional Talk
- Session 4: Conversation Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis
- University Students from Tier 1 Departments

Moodle is the 'Virtual Learning Environment' (VLE) that the SSRMP uses to deliver online courses.
SSRMP lecturers use Moodle to make teaching resources available before, during, and/or after classes, and to make announcements and answer questions.
For this reason, it is vital that all SSRMP students enrol onto and explore their course Moodle pages once booking their SSRMP modules via the UTBS, and that they do so before their module begins. Moodle pages for modules should go live around a week before the module commences, but some may be made visible to students, earlier.
