• Rapport Building in Language Instruction: A Microanalysis of the Multiple Resources in Teacher Talk (2007, background): “As noted above, shared laughter can increase the participants’ affiliation and intimacy (Bell, 2005, 2007; Jefferson et al., 1987; Norrick, 1993; Straehle, 1993), and thus T has successfully created a moment of rapport building with his students.”
• Learning to Play, Playing to Learn: FL Learners as Multicompetent Language Users (2007, background): “2 For discussions of the variety of ways in which language play has been conceptualized in its short history in SLA see, e.g., Tarone 2000; Belz 2002a; Bell 2005.”
• Learning about and through humor in the second language classroom (2009, background): “In addition, Bell (2005) has suggested that humorous language play may aid in the acquisition of L2 vocabulary and semantic fields in particular, by allowing lexical items to be processed more deeply, making them more memorable.”
