  • Interactional Fluency and Turn‐Managing Gestures Across Second Language Proficiency Levels

    Open AccessYen-Liang Lin, Shuting Huang et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2026

    Whereas L2 fluency research has focused on monologic speech, interactional fluency (IF), particularly during turn transitions, remains underexplored. This study investigates how turn‐managing gestures (TMGs) contribute to L2 IF, drawing on 60 dyadic interactions from Taiwanese learners in the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE).

The fluency-…

    The term Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) has been widely used since the 1990s to refer to a wide range of computer technology that facilitates human communication through the Internet, and applied linguists are increasingly concerning themselves with the influence of computer networks on language use (Crystal, 2006; Hassan & Hashim, 2009; Lewin & Donner, 2002). In the English as a foreign language (EFL) context, text-based CMC has been wide…
