Results of the study show learners' lack of resources to signal interactive processes as well as an absence of initiative in the management of interaction, which demonstrate the need for an explicit approach to conversation teaching and continued research in this field. %K Clase de conversación %K Análisis de la conversación %K Análisis de la interlengua %K Español como lengua extranjera %K Competencia conversacional %K Conversation class %K Conversation analysis %K Interlanguage analysis %K Spanish as foreign language %K Conversational competence %K Humanidades %K Humanities %K Lingüística %K Linguistics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
