Abstract
Storytelling poses a great challenge to second language (L2) speakers whose limited target language repertoires make the possibility of repairs omnipresent. Note, however, that repairs are likely to interfere with the progressivity of the storytelling. Therefore, their presence may influence the trajectory of narrative content and, by extension, the stories’ topical coherence of the story. Thus, it is crucial to examine how repairs are managed in multilingual storytelling and what interpretive work is involved in resuming stories. The present study examines repair sequences in multilingual storytelling to explicate how L2 storytellers maintain the coherence of their stories through repair sequences. The analysis is based on a data corpus collected from four groups of Korean learners of English who participated in weekly speech sessions. The findings are organized into two sections that manifest two different types of repairs, one for linguistic matters and the other for narrative content. This analysis provides realistic descriptions of the nature of the challenges L2 participants face in managing multiple turns and constructing narrative content in multilingual storytelling.
