Eye Gaze Analyses in L1 and L2 Conversations: From the Perspective of Listeners' Eye Gaze Activity

Published: 16 November 2014 Publication History

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 eye gaze activities to examine their differences in conversations between L1 and L2. These analyses clarify that the frequency of utterances during which listeners gaze at speakers throughout the utterance is greater in L2 than in L1 conversations when they join small-party conversations.
