• Interactional Competence: Conceptualisations, Operationalisations, and Outstanding Questions (2018, background): “…fine-tuned and specific aspects of interactional competence, such as interactional means to develop topics across speakers and turns, topic shifts, listener involvement, and turn-taking strategies (Galaczi, 2008, 2014; Gan, 2010; Gan et al ., 2009; Lazaraton, 2002; May, 2009; Nakatsuhara, 2013).”
• What counts as “responding”? Contingency on previous speaker contribution as a feature of interactional competence (2018, background): “Gan (2010) describes responding contingently to a co-participant as “to fit his or her comment closely to the immediately preceding utterance” (p. 595).”
• Interactional Competence across Proficiency Levels: How do Learners Manage Interaction in Paired Speaking Tests? (2014, background): “…has adopted a Conversation Analysis (CA) approach to the investigation of paired and group speaking tests and has provided useful insights about the co-construction of interaction between test takers (Lazaraton 2002; Galaczi 2008; Gan et al. 2009; Gan 2010; May 2009; Nakatsuhara 2009; Moore 2011).”
• Validity argument for assessing L2 pragmatics in interaction using mixed methods (2015, background): “CA-based research on measuring interactional competence has grown, attesting its contributions to conceptualizing and operationalizing interactional competence (e.g., Brown, 2003; Kasper & Ross, 2007; Lazaraton, 2002; May, 2009, 2011; Galaczi, 2008; Gan, 2010; Young, 2008; Young & He, 1998).”
• Speaking in turns and sequences: Interactional competence as a target construct in testing speaking (2018, unknown): “Pair and group test formats (Gan, 2010; Greer & Potter, 2008; O’Sullivan, 2002; Sandlund & Sundqvist, 2011) are increasingly used to overcome these limitations.”
