* Dr Jane Evison (University of Nottingham)

**Bionote**: Jane Evison lectures in TESOL at the University of Nottingham in the UK, and at the University of Nottingham in Malaysia. Her teaching interests centre on classroom discourse, pragmatics and grammar, and she has contributed both to the development of the Cambridge Grammar of English and to recent corpus-based English language teaching materials. Conversational interaction is always at the centre of her own research, and she is especially interested in how turns open and close. Her research tends to use a combination of corpus analytical techniques and the kind of fine-grained investigation associated with Conversation Analysis and Exchange Structure Analysis. Most recently, she has used this dual approach to investigate turn construction in informal social conversation and academic encounters in the CANCODE corpus, and to explore identity creation in a smaller (but growing) corpus of podcast talk.​
