Description
Summary:This paper focuses on interactions through desktop videoconference between learners in a tandem studying French and Chinese as a foreign languages. The aim of this study is to characterize language acquisition as it is visible through negotiation of meaning routines. Tandem through desktop videoconference is a type of telecollaboration (Belz & Thorne, 2006) where two learners of different mother tongues cooperatively learn each other’s language (Helmling, 2002). We adopt an approach combining tools from the input-interaction framework (Gass, 1997) and the study of multimodal interactions through desktop videoconference (Develotte et al., 2011) in order to study three different types of negotiations of meaning in both languages.
