Abstract

Discourse analysis is one of those fields of human knowledge related to language teaching that has seen great expansion over the last couple of decades. I will attempt in a short overview of discourse analysis to convince classroom teachers that it relates to the classroom in some very vital ways, involving textbooks, methodology, and teacher-student behavior. First of all, I present some basic concepts in discourse analysis and, secondly, I justify my view that language teachers could benefit from being more knowledgeable about this area of applied linguistics.
