Beschreibung

This book presents unique insights into the development of L2 interactional competence through the lens of complaining, demonstrating how a closer study of complaining as a social activity can enhance our understanding of certain aspects of language learning with implications for future L2 research.

The volume employs a multimodal, longitudinal conversation analytic (CA) approach in its analysis of data from video-recorded interactions of several elementary and advanced L2 speakers of French as they build their interactional competence, understood as the ability to accomplish social actions and activities in the L2 in context-dependent and recipient-designed ways. Skogmyr Marian calls attention to three key dimensions of complaining in these conversations - its structural organization, the interactional resources people use when they complain, and how speakers' shared interactional histories and changing social relationships affect complaint practices. The volume underscores the fundamentally multimodal, socially situated, and co-constructed nature of L2 interactional competence and the socialization processes involved in its development, indicating paths for new work on interactional competence and L2 research more broadly.

This book will be of appeal to students and scholars interested in second language acquisition, social interaction, and applied linguistics.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Skogmyr Marian's research offers us a master class in social observation. Through careful sequential analysis, she demonstrates how L2 learners' interactional repertoires are developed and diversified, both in the moment and over time."

Tim Greer, Kobe University, Japan

"Framed within the construct of interactional competence, this book elegantly demonstrates how to do longitudinal, second language learning-related research from the perspective of multimodal, ethnomethodological conversation analysis. Specifically, it is particularly notable for its brilliant use of emic learning behavior tracking techniques. A must-read contribution to the literature."

Numa Markee, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

"This book is a double intellectual treat: a well-executed longitudinal study with enlightening findings and a thoughtful discussion of theoretical and methodological issues with far-reaching implications for future research. An in-depth exploration into the development of interactional competence in a second language, it is a stellar addition to the field."

Hanh thi Nguyen, Hawaii Pacific University, USA
