| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The focal point of this project is the examination of ‘conversation-for-learning’ (Kasper 2004) and ‘non-formal institutional interaction’ (Hauser, 2008), specifically concerning pairs of interactants in computer-mediated settings.
Over the course of the third year, the corpus was expanded with the continued collection of data (as the availability of volunteer pairs arose). However, this project transitioned to its final stage: detailed transcription and detailed micro analysis processes, and an increased focus on reporting findings to the academic community.
Over the course of the final year of the project, in addition to my own transcription and data analysis processes, I met with like-minded researchers for discussions (including the exchange data for review, refinement and further development) at academic fora in Sheffield (England), Sapporo (Japan) and Osaka (Japan). I also made a separate, formal presentation of data in Osaka (Japan) in early 2015 and will make a further presentation in Niigata (Japan) in May 2015. I plan to attend conferences in August and October 2015 to meet like-minded researchers for discussions, sharing of analyses and publication.
A major focus of the project included microanalysis of cues speakers utilise to move through the series of opening sequences that lead to the ‘anchor point’ (Schegloff, 1968, 1986) in conversation-for-learning. The findings confirm that, just as Schegloff (1986) notes with reference to the telephone, despite the seemingly routine nature of opening a conversation, it rarely happens effortlessly.
