Research Abstract |
Firstly, the present project discusses the issue of how we should evaluate second-language speakers' competence in organizing daily activities, with regard to recent 'Can-do statement' movements in Europe and Japan. Secondly, it argues that when learners produce reactive tokens during an interview, they should be sensitive to the talk's sequential organization and the differences in the quality of the information provided. Finally, the project examines why international students failed to initiate a 'repair sequence' to attain mutual understanding among participants and what kinds of classroom activities could be introduced to solve this communication problem.
