This episode continues our talk with plenary speaker John Corbett about his talk Conversational Stories in English. Here are the questions: 

1. What if the students, or the teachers, are overly concerned with how things are being said during a conversation?
2. At what point does Speaking turn into Conversation?
3. Why teach students how to backchannel?
4. You showed the results of corpus searches to show more frequent word use. What are some other ways to use corpus tools to promote Conversation in the classroom?
5. As a conversational ethnographer, what is your preferred story type?
