Abstract
Abstract This teaching unit aims to develop beginning students’ interactional competence in using linguistic resources to show one’s active listenership in conversation. The unit uses naturally occurring conversation as teaching materials and guides students to examine the interactional practices between interlocutors. The activities developed in this unit lead students to notice recipients’ responses toward prior talks, to analyze the actions achieved by verbal responses, and to apply the interactional resources and knowledge when conversing with L1 speakers. The unit was designed based on the research findings of interactional competence (IC) and Conversation Analysis (CA).
期刊介绍:
Chinese as a Second Language Research (CASLAR) focuses on research on the acquisition, development, and use of Chinese as a Second Language. It supports scholars and researchers from different linguistic fields, and serves as a forum to discuss, investigate, and better understand Chinese as a Second Language. Each issue (2 per year) of the journal publishes three papers in Chinese and three papers in English; summaries are always provided both in Chinese and English. We are especially interested in publishing articles and research papers that investigate how empirical findings of CSL research can advance and develop better Chinese language teaching methodologies, explore the implications of CSL research for theoretical developments and practical applications, focus on the acquisition and use of varieties of CSL, study the nature of interaction between native speakers and non-native speakers of Chinese, address major issues of second language acquisition from the perspective of CSL, analyze the ways in which language is both shaped by culture and is the medium through which culture is created.
