| Samenvatting: | This longitudinal conversation analytic study examines the intersection between the L2 learning trajectory of a French L2 speaker and the social relations she develops with her host family during a language stay. The analysis focuses on mealtime interactions as a privileged site for socialization within the family. Results show that (i) the language stay can have an important structuring effect on the development of the L2, and namely of L2 interactional competence; (ii) this development is inextricably intertwined with the interactions the learner recurrently engages in with the host family and the social ties she thereby established with her interlocutors: The progressive sharing of the norms and values of the family as a micro-community as well as the epistemic and affective relations built over time with members of that community contribute to shaping the learner’s opportunities for using and, by extension, acquiring the L2. |
