WEEK 15 INTERACTION _ Group A Kimberly, Amy, Dianne

1)      What (conversational tactics) do the native speaker–non native speaker pairs use to solve ongoing communication difficulties in Long’s study?

2)      Which step of Long’s approach to linking features of ‘environmental’ language and learner’s second language development is relevant to each Pica, Loschky, Mackey, Gass and Varonis’ study?

3)      How do the researchers criticize the earlier interactionist research? How do they appeal to the earlier interactionist?

DQ:  I think ESL environment and native teacher seem to be evitable in order learners to internalize various useful communicative strategies and get the repaired input by interaction. If it is realizable in EFL, it might need native teachers or native-like teachers at least. What do you think about that?
