Sociocultural-Linguistics & Pragmatics Interactional Features of Talk Shared Back With a JSL Learner as a Resource more

Sun, Nov 14, 18:40-19:05 Asia/Tokyo

In this study, interactional features revealed by conversation analysis (CA) were presented back to an L2 learner of Japanese as a resource to foster language learning. By analyzing talk-in-interaction between the learner and two first language interlocutors and by cross-referencing data via retrospective interviews, learning opportunities were achieved regarding turn-taking, repair, and the occasional disjoining of content flow during talk. I present findings with bilingual transcription excerpts and discuss adapting these ideas for classroom settings.
