Long’s Interactional Input Hypothesis and Smith’s Input Enhancement Hypothesis hold both foci on Zellig Harris's (1976) formalist approach. Accordingly, the pivotal role of learner’s attention as one of the subcomponents of focus-on-form approach may have confused instruction types. However, whether such learning theories on drawing learners' attention on target language forms suit all types of...

Abstract This paper is positioned at the interface of second/foreign language (L2) assessment and Conversation Analysis-Second Language Acquisition (CA-SLA). It explores challenges ratability in assessing interactional competence (IC) from three dimensions: an overview conceptual terminological convergence/divergence CA-SLA L2 literature, a micro-analytic Analysis test-taker interactions, opera...

In recent years, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has received much attention in linguistics and pedagogy. Based on a single case analysis, it will be shown how a detailed sequential analysis of video-recordings of naturally occurring classroom interaction enables us to understand how an explanation can be accomplished collaboratively by participants in a specific language-learni...

We present a conversation analysis of openings sequences of online text-based chat counseling. Particular about this chat counseling is that the clients made available their help question through pre-screening. The data consisted of 40 chat sessions with pre-screening and 34 sessions without pre-screening from the Dutch alcohol and drugs chat service. In the chat sessions with pre-screening, th...

The elaboration of the theoretical notion of communicative competence reflects a growing awareness of the importance of pragmatic knowledge in achieving mastery of a second language. Such awareness includes the recognition that teaching language effectively includes teaching culture in the most fundamental sense. Using the framework of interactional sociolinguistics to link theoretical work on ...

Component-based software development enables the construction of software artefacts by assembling prefabricated, configurable and independently evolving building blocks, called software components. This paper presents an approach for the development of component-based software artefacts. This approach consists of splitting the software development process according to four abstraction levels, v...

In this paper, we draw on serious mixed reality games as an approach to explore and design for coordination in disaster response scenarios. We introduce AtomicOrchid, a real-time location-based game to explore coordination and agile teaming under temporal and spatial constraints according to our approach. We outline the research plan to study the various interactional arrangements in which huma...

This study focuses on analyzing the features of interactional style used by Mark Baum when talking to his interlocutor with different statuses business related topics. In conducting this study, writer theory Interactional styles Holmes (2006). was done using a qualitative approach. The result showed that both feminine and masculine interlocutors statuses. also found out use style, such as aggre...

The results of the study demonstrate that numerous object-specific restrictions on the use of projective prepositions in English and Russian are predicted by their interactional (functional) semantic properties. Object-independent perceptual properties (such as distance between objects, direction of their motion, etc) that seemingly guide the use of the expressions, are also found to be presupp...
