Interactional Competence, L2 Testing and Teaching, Discursive Practice, Conversation AnalysisAbstract
According to the theory of interactional competence, discursive practices are co-constructed by participants, each of whom contributes linguistic and pragmatic resources to the practice. Interactional competence is the ability that people need in daily communication and language learning. This study introduces the basic concepts and theoretical framework of interactional competence, reviews the relevant literature and achievements of the research on interactional competence in second language (L2) testing and teaching at home and abroad, points out the limitations of the current research, and puts forward suggestions for further studies.
