Abstract
This article examines how second language (L2) inter-actional competence is manifested in students’ use of“and”-prefaced turns when doing meaning-focused oraltasks in pairs and small groups. Drawing on video record-ings from English-as-a-foreign-language upper-secondaryclasses recorded in Czechia and Finland, 86 sequencesinvolving “and”-prefaced turns were scrutinized usingmultimodal conversation analysis, focusing on language,gaze, and material resources. The findings suggest that byproducing “and”-prefaced turns, students orient to task pro-gression. These turns have two functions: task managerialand contribution to the emerging task answer. By usingtask-managerial “and”-prefaced turns, the current speakerinvites another student to participate, while in “and”-prefaced contributions to the task answer, a participantadds to, generalizes, or modifies the previous task answer.The analysis shows that students mobilized their L2 inter-actional competence in producing “and”-prefaced turnsin close coordination with embodied resources and withrespect to the spatio-material surroundings and the natureof the task. These findings contribute to the multimodalreconceptualization of the grammar–body interface andresearch on turn-initial particles within L2 interactionalcompetence.
