Abstract
The importance of conversation in a second language (L2) during international collaboration continues to increase, but the features of non-verbal communications such as eye gaze and gestures in L2 conversation have not been clarified to the extent they have in the native language (L1). This study provides quantitative analyses of both speakers’ and listeners’ eye gaze activities to examine their differences in interaction structures between L1 and L2. Our analyses clarify that the listeners gaze more at speakers in conversations in L2 than in L1 and that the speaker gazes more at the next speaker in conversations in L2 than in L1 when they join small-party conversations. These analyses demonstrate that interaction structures in L2 are different from those in L1.
