摘　　要：This paper discusses some key concepts in Conversation Analysis （CA）. Using the transcription symbols mainly developed by Jefferson （1974）, the author transcribes an authentic spoken text to further illustrate to the reader how the analysis of the organization of a conversation or talk-in-action could be approached. The paper concludes that as key concepts in CA make possible the micro-level analysis of a conversation, classroom activities deriving from CA can highlight the micro-interactional level of a talk and teachers are able to explore language performance from a microanalytic perspective.
