Teaching Interactional Strategies in an Online L2 Turkish Classroom: A CA-Informed Five-Step Model for Turn-Taking and Floor Management

Öz

This study examines how interactional strategies and awareness of spoken language can be introduced, developed, and practiced in a synchronous online Turkish as a second language (TSL) setting through a conversation analysis (CA)-informed pedagogical framework. Employing an action research design, the study implemented iterative instructional cycles with five adult L2 Turkish learners in live Zoom-based classes. Drawing on qualitative data from classroom interaction, learner reflections, and task-based speaking performances, the study proposes and evaluates a five-step teaching model consisting of (1) feedback, (2) preparation and awareness-raising, (3) watching and conversation analysis, (4) in-class speaking tasks, and (5) out-of-class speaking tasks. The findings suggest that this model may support learners’ emerging interactional competence, as reflected in more frequent participation, greater use of discourse markers, and an increased orientation to turn-taking and floor management. Learners also reported heightened awareness of differences between spoken and written Turkish, along with reduced speaking anxiety and enhanced communicative self-confidence. Overall, the study indicates that CA-informed, interaction-focused online instruction may be a productive approach to fostering interactional competence within this cohort when pedagogical design emphasizes sustained, socially situated interaction.
