Abstract
We present a longitudinal case study of a second language speaker’s changing storytelling practices over a period of nine months while interacting with her host family. We focus on how the storyteller moves the telling toward a recognizable end and, jointly with the recipient, engages in closing down the storytelling sequence. Results show an increased use of resources to anticipate the story climax, to recognizably display the story ending and to manifest the speaker’s stance; results also reveal how co-participants orient to such change in accountable ways. We discuss to what extent the documentable change can be interpreted as pertaining the speaker’s increased second language interactional competence and how it is indexically related to the changing local circumstances of the interactions at hand and tied to larger processes of socialization as the people move through time.
