Meeting Description:

Following the success of the first Interactional Competences and Practices in
a Second Language (ICOP-L2) conference organized by the University of
Neuchâtel (Switzerland), we are delighted to organise the second ICOP-L2
conference to be held at Mälardalen University in beautiful Västerås, Sweden,
on 29-31 May 2019.   

Interactional practices in second and additional languages (L2s) have
increasingly been researched in language classrooms and other institutional
settings as well as in non-institutional contexts that include practices of
‘learning in the wild’. Principles of ethnomethodology, conversation analysis,
membership categorization analysis, and usage-based linguistics have equipped
researchers with tools to investigate how users of L2s engage in sense making
practices, and how they learn and teach in interaction. This social and
qualitative trend in L2 interaction research has also fuelled a growing body
of studies into interactional competence.  

In the last decade, interactional competence has become one of the central
concepts in Applied Linguistics, contributing to research on language
development, the dynamics of L2 use, teaching, teacher education, and oral
proficiency assessment. Special issues in Classroom Discourse (Routledge) and
Language Testing (SAGE) as well as edited volumes and book-length manuscripts
(e.g. Hall, Hellermann and Pekarek Doehler, 2011; Salaberry and Kunitz,
forthcoming) have been published to present how interactional practices are
manifested and locally managed by users of L2s in institutional and
non-institutional settings. 

This growing body of research has great potential to inform teaching, teacher
education, and testing at practitioner level, and there is more need now than
ever for bridging research and practice for uncovering the interactional
dynamics of teaching and learning. One of the central aims of this conference
is to address these broad issues by bringing together researchers who work on
interactional practices in L2s to present, discuss, and disseminate
cutting-edge research. 

Plenary Speakers:

Simona Pekarek Doehler, University of Neuchâtel
Steven Thorne, Portland State University
Johannes Wagner, University of Southern Denmark 

There will also be pre-conference methodology workshops for early career
researchers and practitioner workshops for teachers of additional languages
(details to be announced in September 2018).
