Abstract
This article provides a conceptual overview of the intersection of two subfields of Applied Linguistics: Discourse Analysis and Second Language Acquisition. I review several theoretical perspectives on how the analysis of spoken discourse can inform what we know about the various processes of language learning. Three frameworks are discussed herein: (1) Language Identity; (2) Language Socialization; and (3) Sociocultural Theory. I assess the contributions of these three theoretical approaches to recent perspectives on studying discourse analysis for augmenting our knowledge of how additional languages, beyond L1, are acquired.
